The "Antichrist" is represented in the film as the "witch figure". One of the main threads of the film is the essay written by the heroine on the theme of the mass murder of witches in European history. This itself is an anti-female theme, and our heroine is also gradually psychotic (relative to normal people) or spiritual sublimation (relative to the awakening of witch nature among women) in the process of writing the essay.
In fact, the heroine could no longer write before the death of her child, and the study of the slaughtered witch summoned the most evil part of her heart. She is confused from time to time, and her spirit begins to be abnormal, for example, in the second half of the film, the male protagonist found in the photos in the forest hut that the shoes worn by the female protagonist to the child before her death were reversed, with the right shoe on her left foot and the left shoe on her right foot. Moreover, the manuscript of his wife's dissertation is also a text that gradually tends to disintegrate, and finally becomes a completely meaningless symbol. Only then did he realize that long before the child died, something was wrong with the heroine.
The death of the child is the beginning of the film, but the psychological aberration of the heroine is a motive, which provides the objective motivation for the heroine to fall into extreme grief and then enter a state of madness. And another subjective motive was given to her by her stupid husband. The male protagonist is confident and sensible, using his psychoanalysis and psychological healing theories to try to help his wife (or rather control) out of the pain of losing a child, but under his constant inducement, under the call of the forest, she finally awakens - her most fearful thing is herself!
In the process of the awakening of the evil force, the heroine has had two returns, one is on the third day after arriving in the forest, she suddenly feels relaxed, she can run around excitedly, jump everywhere, nothing is afraid, no more trance. But the male protagonist had a premonition at that time that there was something wrong with this abnormal "recovery". All the bloody hints in the forest surround the male protagonist in fear. The prelude to the heroine's utter madness is the forest wild the night before, which is also a typical manifestation of the witch's collective madness (which is also symbolized by the countless hands sticking out of the branches). Another time back,It's that after the female owner uses a shovel to dig out the male owner.,She suddenly found out in her conscience.,The part that belongs to normal people is back.,She cried and apologized.,Ran back to find a wrench to save the male owner.,But she doesn't remember where she threw the wrench.。 (This also proves that when she is perverted, she is controlled by the power of witches, both from the forest and from the depths of her own consciousness.) )
In the end, the male protagonist strangled the female protagonist (at this time she was already a complete witch), and the director gave the whole process of strangulation, and the audience could see the female protagonist's face gradually turning blue and her eyes wide, and the audience witnessed the death of the "witch". And the funeral of the witch is also the most classic - tied to a tree and burned. The raging fire ignited, and at that moment the male protagonist's eyes were very confused, maybe he was regretting his childish self-confidence at the beginning and forcing his wife to a dead end. Perhaps he began to reflect on whether his so-called rational "science" was a good medicine or a counterproductive to some of the mysterious forces of nature that we humans revere and escape.
Here I can say that the man in the film symbolizes the righteous "Christian" who killed witches in history, while the woman is the image of a witch whose nature is gradually awakening. This kind of confrontation between the sexes, either anti-Christ or anti-female, who wins or loses, we are in the same confusion as the male protagonist. Just as he dragged his crippled leg down the hill with his crippled legs, countless apparitions of witches, dressed in modern clothes, surrounded him in the fog.
The first film I watched was "Breaking the Waves" and I was not very impressed. I don't like the fact that the story starts with a desperate situation, this kind of plot design is already overused, it is a tearjerker movie nirvana, first arousing the audience's sympathy, and then depicting the unyielding humanity in the face of adversity, so as to move the audience and make them think that they have achieved spiritual sublimation. "Breaking the Waves" does have a lot of sensationalism, the heroine's kindness does not win God's favor, her husband is paralyzed in an accident, and she falls into misery, and she can only fight against doom with absurd faith. She firmly believes that she can save her dying husband by spending more time with strange men**. The puzzling part of the film is, is what this woman is doing is self-sacrificing or self-saving? My first impression at the time was the former, because in the plot, what she did was what her husband wanted. It was this impression that made me quite dissatisfied with this writer and director. I think he's a philistine man who makes a lot of pathos to win applause. But after watching his "The Idiot", I completely reversed my opinion. The story also has a heroine in a desperate situation, and she also has strange behaviors that are not tolerated by the world. She follows a group of young people with antisocial tendencies, playing the role of mentally handicapped people everywhere to play tricks on others, and take pleasure in breaking moral rules. However, in this film, the director's intention is very clear that everything that the suffering woman does is not for others, but for herself. Her best efforts were to save herself, to pull herself out of the utter despair - her son died unexpectedly.
"The Idiot" is one of my favorite films, and it has an atmosphere of extreme distraction that is hard to find a second film in the history of cinema that can match it. A mother's grief of losing a child, which is supposed to be sympathetic, is disgusting. She was like a worm, clinging to anything at all times, just to keep herself alive. This humanoid creature, a corrupted man, escapes his son's funeral and engages in a vicious game that mocks human compassion. She defiantly tells the audience that tears and charity are of no use to the suffering, and that her happiness at the moment is to see the embarrassment of others. Stripped of the superfluous sensationalism in "Breaking the Waves", "The Idiot" has a very valuable quality, which makes the director's poignant question more concise: what is "evil"? If evil can save a person from the abyss of despair, is it still evil? In fact, this is the key to the work of Lars von Trier. He asked where the boundary between good and evil is, human beings are so fragile that they can fall from "good" to "evil" in an instant: the chaste wife in "Breaking the Waves" committed the crime of **, the benevolent old mother in "The Idiot" committed the crime of deception, and in "Dancer in the Dark", the single mother committed homicide. From a religious point of view, this is also a Jobian cry: Does God exist, why should good people suffer misfortune, and why should they be charged with "uncleanness."
