"I've lived so long, I've been a salmon swimming upstream, a deer on the run, and a lone wolf. I've seen northern barbarians come into Ireland to plunder gold. I've seen torment and suffering in the dark. Yet , I have also seen beauty grow in the most vulnerable places. I have seen that book, a book that shines in the eternal night."
Aisling's self-report at the beginning of the film seems to imply that she is a witness to history, a powerful idea that exists with faith. While Brenda is the protagonist of the film, Aisling is the first point of view. Aisling is a genie? Is it a white wolf? Maybe it's just a figurative representation of "faith".
What kind of book is "The book" in people's mouth? The Book of Kells holds people's hopes and is a beacon in the dark days caused by the Nordics.
When Brenda finished gathering the berries, a mysterious force led him to the lair of the evil god Krom. Aisling panicked: "He was waiting in the dark, waiting for someone to wake it up." Perhaps this is Brenda's mission - to defeat the evil god, get the crystal, and complete the Book of Kells.
As the elder Carl put it, "You were a child and you lost all your innocence."
War is cruel. In every era of war, someone must carry the banner of faith and lead people out of the darkness and toward the light. Losing innocence is an inevitable price.
With the help of Aisling, Brenda entered Krom's lair. He officially took over the torch of inheriting the faith. He was on a mission. He was no longer the child who could see the elves. In an instant, Aisling Tengman was haunted, and the powder disappeared. Aisling's fairy body shattered when Brenda lost her innocence, but the white wolf still exists, and the mysterious natural force still silently supports everyone who strives for peace.
Karl is a realist leader in the film. There is always a person who has to make the most pragmatic efforts for the immediate crisis, either plan ahead or wait to die...
When Aida accused Carr of caring only about barriers, Carr said:
"It's not my wall, it's a wall to save civilization, it's a wall to keep your books. With this strong wall, they will start to believe in the power of our faith."
Aida replied: "There is no barrier that can stop the Nordics. When they come, all they can do is flee." The process of history is unstoppable, and war cannot be resisted by barriers. Only by protecting civilization, writing beliefs, and allowing people to use spiritual persistence to discover the light and gain liberation.
The Book is complete, it is not the "Book of Iona" nor the "Book of Kells". It is a microcosm of an era, which embodies the spiritual power of people in the war-torn era. There is nothing in life but the mystery, all actions are to understand the mystery in happiness, this is your own decision, not someone else's. The Book of Kells can answer people's confusion about peace and the future. The Book of Kells is a beacon.
The scriptures were finally composed by Brenda, but which page is the "page that can turn darkness into light" in the words of the faithful of Bouida? Obviously, under the mission and belief, the pages are bright.
