, a movie that makes people desperate for human nature, Douban score: 9.1 points.
In a small mountain forest town in contemporary Nordic Denmark, people live peacefully and harmoniously. In a kindergarten full of joy and innocence, the sincere and kind-hearted male protagonist plays with a group of lively, cute and innocent children, and takes care of these children in every possible way. Lucas, in his 40s, is ready to start life again after a painful divorce and job loss. Found this new job and a new girlfriend, looking forward to being reunited with teenage son Marcus at Christmas. It looked as if his life was on the right track, but his fate was unpredictable, and bad luck came suddenly and unknowingly.
Klar, a cute little girl over five years old in kindergarten, with big angelic blue eyes, golden hair, a mischievous mouth, and a thoughtful look. Because his parents briefly ignored her attention, coupled with the careful care of his father's friend Lucas, he developed a psychological attachment to Lucas and a dreamy love that he couldn't tell what it was.
After Claire sent Lucas a gift of love and was turned down, Claire told the head of the kindergarten that she was sexually assaulted by Lucas.
Poor Lucas, like a prey in a trap. The dean's careful investigation and the psychologist's step-by-step guidance seem to have been verified in Claire's mouth.
then called the police, filed a case, arrested, interrogated, and restricted his freedom. From kindergarten to friends, from friends to family, and then to society, the public opinion caused by rumors covered the sky like dark clouds in the winter of Denmark, oppressing Lucas to the point of suffocation. The son is worried, the girlfriend is questioning, the neighbors are looking at him, and there is only one friend left. All the faces changed, all the mess! He wants to prove his innocence, but it's hard to tell. Even if he can explain it, who else will care about him at this time, and all he can get is cold eyes, scolding, expulsion, and scolding.
Even so, Lucas did not give up the right to return to the group society, and persisted under the pressure of incomprehension and desperation.
Finally, good news from the only friend. The testimony the police got from all the children was so uniform: Lucas was a badass, the house had a basement, and it was a den.
And the result of the police search is: Lucas' house has no basement at all! The absurd farce seems to have come to an end, and of course Lucas can only be acquitted. The twists and turns, and it all suggests that things should start to come back in the right direction. There is also a warm picture in the
shot. Lucas and his son are talking intimately. The father and son start to look forward to a better future while unloading their spiritual burden. The audience also began to breathe a sigh of relief.
At this moment, a loud bang followed a large piece of wood, shattered the window glass, and smashed into the house. The father and son fell to the ground in shock. When Lucas came back to his senses and rushed out the door, the yard was empty, only a black parcel fell to the ground, and that was the body of their pet dog Emil! Lucas couldn't bear it any longer. He dug a pit with grief and anger to bury his faithful and lovely companion, and roared with his back to the sky. The heavy rain soaked his clothes and he ignored it completely. Even the only friend who came to comfort him was brutally rejected. He no longer believed in the justice of the legal society.
The audience's nerves are tense again, and the steep turn of the plot once again pushes the climax to the climax. The brief calm is just the prelude to the storm. The dangerous and immoral waves brewed by rumors and public opinion have just begun. The son was furious: Why do people dare to treat us like this when there is a verdict? It's not fair! When he went to Claire's house to ask a question, he was beaten by the gathered neighbors, and he was given a cold reception when he went shopping in the supermarket. The aggrieved teenager could not express himself in the face of unspeakable harm. For Lucas, the subsequent blows were overwhelming, and the purpose of the blows was very clear, to drive them out of the group and then quickly. Lucas still insisted that he did not fall. The purpose of continuing to suffer discrimination, insults, scolding, and exclusion is just to let the world understand the truth and wash away his own shame. He has nothing else to do.
went to the supermarket to buy meat once, but the tall and vicious sales clerk refused to sell it.When the attack was violently beaten, everyone got on the cans, wooden sticks, and brooms together, and beat him to the point where he was covered in blood and crawling, and he was embarrassed by the exchange of tears and tears.
Lucas, who was hit hard both physically and mentally, and the kind-hearted and pure-hearted Lucas, did not lose the blood of a man. He struggled and walked into the supermarket again. He wanted to get his things back, and the tall and arrogant salesperson immediately greeted him again. come up. Faced with the vicious questioning, Lucas, who was swaying on his feet, slammed his head into the bridge of the other person's nose as soon as he stood up. Looking at the salesman who was rolling and howling after falling to the ground, Lucas staggered and turned away. The tragic encounter of Lucas in the
shot made people outside the camera full of indignation and screaming. However, Lucas, who had a scar on his face, was solemn and calm at this time, but his blood-red eyes clearly showed a look of despair. I saw him slowly scrubbing the wound, carefully tying his tie, and putting on his suit. It turns out that Christmas is here!
In a church full of holiness and solemnity, at the feet of God who always preaches justice, forgiveness and truth, all the townspeople sit reverently. Lucas, whose reason was on the verge of collapse, sat in front. He turned his wounded head back, and looked back at the people with eyes full of tears, grief, despair, helplessness and infinite entanglement. son's father. This image is horrifying. When Lucas could no longer contain his anger and grievances amid the children's tender and moving songs of praise to God, he burst out towards Claire's father. Force him to look into his eyes and ask him what he sees in it?
The plot reaches a real climax when Lucas punches the opponent's face again and again, and the audience's resentment finally gets a reasonable outlet. The next episode of
seems to make more sense. Claire witnessed what happened in the church, and the ignorant childlike innocence was awakened by the shock and repented. In his sleep, he called Lucas, called the dog Emil, apologized to them and asked for their forgiveness, and frankly admitted that he had lied to his father who was waiting beside him. The guilt-ridden father went to console Lucas at night with bread, sausages and other food he made himself, and Lucas accepted it leniently. The unspeakable injustice has finally come to an end!
A year later, Lucas' son has reached adult age. The coming-of-age ceremony held for him in the town was quite grand. The residents and former friends of the town came, as did Lucas' girlfriend, and Claire was carried into the venue by Lucas. The son was given a long-barreled shotgun by his father, and the gregarious society returned to harmony. The annual hunting has begun, and people carry guns and dogs into the quiet jungle in the morning light. The
movie is about to end with a happy reunion. It feels perfect, but it seems to be missing something. Suddenly, there was a crisp gunshot, and the bullet rubbed Lucas's scalp and hit the tree.
When Lucas, who was frightened, leaned on the tree and slowly stood up, his frightened eyes turned against the sun and only saw the shooter flashing into the woods, and the film ended.
Warm reminder: If your heart is not strong enough, you may cry
tears.
