It was the belgian contestant for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film this year – although it ended up yellow.
However, the good villain won the Golden Globe Award nomination for Best Foreign Language Film;
He was also selected for the Directors' Bi-Week section at the 2015 Cannes Film Festival.
Foreign media evaluation, praise.
《The Playlist》：
The film is suspected of mocking and blasphemy (the church), and is a spokesman for wisdom and individuality.
The Guardian:
God is not dead, just useless, a pot of poisonous chicken soup with sincere fists.
Director Dormer himself said:
The Pope saw also urinary avalanche.
Well, it's --
Le tout nouveau testament.
The current Douban score is 8.2.
As the name suggests, the Ultra-New Testament is an upgraded version of the New Testament.
The protagonist, God.
It's a movie that subverts our perception of God.
We often hear complaints like this:
So bad luck! God doesn't have long eyes!
But the Ultra-New Testament punctures the truth:
Bad luck, precisely because God has long eyes.
In the film, God lives in Brussels (the director's hometown).
Daily work is to arrange the fate of (human beings) through computers.
A person.
lonely.
Idle egg pain ——
Therefore, natural and man-made disasters such as inverted fires, heavy rains, traffic jams, and crashes.
He even developed a set of "universal human dilemma laws".
Believe each of us has been played by him.
Whenever you wake up, always want to sleep for an extra ten minutes
Whenever you soak in the bathtub, the phone rings
What falls on the ground is always the side with jam
What is broken is always the freshly washed plate
These are all arranged by God.
The whole person is not good for himself --
Just figure a cool.
What's even more frightening is —)
God is not only bad for human beings, but also bad for his own children.
Scolding the wife.
Beat Jesus' sister, his daughter, Eya.
Let it go: Beat her out of the "shadow of childhood".
There is no bottom line to discredit the Holy Father.
But director Jacques van Domer didn't mean to sing about God.
Inspired by a quote from Woody Allen:
If God really exists, I hope He has a good reason to explain this fucking life.
Therefore, on behalf of the bullied working people, Yi Ya took the lead in resisting.
She wants to overthrow tyranny.
The source of fear is unknown, and the biggest unknown of man is the date of death.
That tells humanity this — does that mean liberating Ta?
Eya does what he says.
She sneaked into Dad's studio and texted the world.
You, when to hang
Note that the person who hung up a minute after receiving the text message was the director himself
Sky machine leak.
Everyone reacts differently.
Someone did everything he could to avoid death.
Some people don't believe it – jumping off a building to verify.
Of course not dead
Mankind has never been led by The Nose by God?
Take Yade inch in.
She decided to run away from home in search of six ambassadors.
Plus the twelve disciples of the elder brother Jesus.
Just put together a baseball team — Mom likes to watch baseball the most.
This way you can kill Daddy.
Don't ask why— it's as unreasonable as gathering seven Dragon Balls and summoning dragons.
Can Eas be successful?
The Ultra-New Testament is Dormer's fourth film, written and directed by himself.
His production is extremely low.
Reason -
I'm a turtle speed screenwriter, and I write too much every time.
The feature film debut "Little Hero Toto" took 10 years before and after, and the script was revised no less than 8 times.
"The Man Without a Name" also took 10 years, and the script was written for 6 years.
The Ultra-New Testament was his fastest work— 9 months.
It was the first time he had co-written a screenplay with someone else (Thomas Guntzger).
Second from left and third from left, respectively, Domel and Thomas Gonzger
The film continues Domel's usual style.
For example, rambling, free imagination.
His films often subsist into children's perspectives, using children's voices as voiceovers.
George's actual age in "The Eighth Day" is not a child, but because he has Down syndrome, he behaves like a child
In the world of children, simplicity is the first principle.
Think of something, something.
For example, describe people as having a bad voice — like three hundred people knocking on a walnut at the same time.
The picture really gives three hundred people knocking walnuts.
Again, the psychological projection of saying no love, but the happy blossoming has betrayed you.
Also, when the little boy ate a fish, the soul of the fish followed him, shattering into pieces.
Flowing with an almost unpolluted innocence.
Contrary to the simple and pure truth, the "complex" idea is so bad that people can shoot their heads.
For example, describe a person who sounds good— like a pearl sliding down a marble staircase.
Describe the homeless skin -
It feels like an old poisonous snake, waiting in an abandoned bar for a cup of blood to moisten it.
Describe the fragile pancreas —
Wrapped in anti-diabetic drugs secretly injected by my mother, it boiled like a grilled sausage.
The brain hole is more than a line.
A sky covered with flowers;
Dancing palms.
This must be a hate for the bound soul.
So, you see, Domer's work, is asking—
If...... What will happen?
Assume with movies, answer with movies.
The problem with Young Hero Toto is —
What if a child of a civilian family and a child of a wealthy family are held by both parents wrong?
"The Man Without a Name" has more than one problem -
What happens if after the parents divorce and he leaves with the mother/father?
What happens if the coin tossed is positive/negative?
What would have happened if she had asked him why he didn't go swimming and he replied "I won't" instead of "I'm too stupid I don't like it"?
Domer likes to write out all the possibilities —
Build parallel worlds.
One decision, more than two possibilities. Every decision involves thousands of types. As a screenwriter, I should have presented these (overlooked) possibilities.
So, in the Ultra-New Testament, he asks:
What if God really existed, but was a jerk?
What if you knew exactly when you died?
The first question, God's family answered.
Wife: Wei Wei Nono;
Son Jesus: Seeing is pure (12 apostles were sent out to count the balls).
Only the daughter does not indulge in God's temper.
That's the story that follows.
The second question, which she had recruited, was answered by six ambassadors.
Aurely, a one-armed beauty.
There are many suitors, but they always live alone.
One day, she knew the date of her death, and she chose—
Claude, 58, single, no queen.
He had a dream of being an adventurer.
One day, he knew the date of his death, and he chose—
Marco, maniac.
At the age of nine, he met a strange woman on the beach.
The long legs stretch endlessly
From then on, there was an extreme desire for women — every woman in the supermarket was fantasizing about her nudity.
These six apostles, seemingly independent, actually represent all sentient beings.
Dormel liked to end with death.
But death is not negativity, it is relief, it is continuation.
Unable to forget "The Eighth Day", George transformed into his favorite beetle and flew into the sky.
He was finally free.
How did the Ultra-New Testament end—
Sir can't spoil (can only say it's funny).
This theme runs through almost all of Domel's films—
Every possibility is interesting, every choice is his value, there is no such thing as "better".
