The role of Reaper represents both the defender of justice and the punisher of evil, and when a man is chosen as Reaper, he drives a ghost carriage in search of and arrests other sinners. After the alcoholic in the film seduces the healthy and kind people around him and makes those healthy people get into the bad habit of smoking and drinking alcohol, he becomes the next death. When his former friend refused to visit the nun on New Year's Eve and was beaten to death by his friend with a wine bottle, he was about to be taken away by the god of death. The god of death took him to see the nun in order to fulfill the nun's last wish. Facing the nun, he recalled his past. The film begins to use flashbacks to recall from the beginning how he became an alcoholic from a healthy person, and also to uncover the scars and pains in his heart. Describe how he went from a good, healthy father to an evil, ugly alcoholic. His heart was occupied by evil habits due to smoking and drinking, and the good side of human nature was gradually covered by evil. He was angry with his wife and children, and began to seek infinite revenge and search for himself. Luring healthy people to drink with disdain for anything. But the kind nun always cherished love and sympathy for the suffering man, and always persuaded and seduced him to find his true self, and used her love to impress this man who went astray, but the man did not know. Repentance, anger, and arrogance do not comprehend the good intentions of others at all. They always go their own way and vent their anger. The final price is death.
When the film uses flashbacks to analyze the cause and effect of the plot little by little, and after the context of the story is clear, we finally understand that a man also passively became an evil person. His heart was beautiful at first, but later due to alcoholism , smoking has become more and more debauchery, this story was written in the early twentieth century, and now more than a hundred years have passed, this theme still seems to have lost its charm. How many people today abandon their families and friends because of their vices, and go to the abyss of no return. If there is a god of death, how many ghost carriages will they drive? Estimated to form a large team.
I love this film, both the story and the soundtrack, as well as the vivid performances of the characters are a rare classic!
