      Maybe that's what religion is all about

      Maybe everyone in the service industry has that feeling:
      "I'm like a call girl"

       … …

      I'm killing myself, Father, come here.
      My wife cheated, Father, come here.
      I want to show off my wealth, Father, come here.

      ……

      Listening to confession or something, this priest is far less natural than the priest in "Father-in-law and mother-in-law is not easy to be" who listens to confession while shopping online.

      So the priest was threatened; the...

      Final picture!

      From the appearance of the killer to the death of the priest on the beach, many of the dialogues are incomprehensible without certain religious knowledge. I have only read the New Testament and the Old Testament a few times, and there are many incomprehensible dialogues, so I will not list them all here. , because that's not what I'm talking about here.
              After the death of the priest, a set of scenes appeared in the movie, telling the current situation or future of the people the...

      a bit too many words

      I don't know what they say, but I feel that everyone has a star of evil, but the woman who is widowed feels calm and peaceful. I can't understand Irish English in my half-crippled English, and I can't understand too many subtitles. I didn't even know what the conversation was saying, and I finally understood it, because the godfather said this sentence: It's all in time. From the guy's body movements, I can tell that he was determined to open the last sentence because of this sentence. One...

      The last seven days of the priest's life

      There is no dark humor in the movie, and a line of St. Augustine at the beginning of the title: "If one of the thieves is saved, do not despair; nor do you infer that the other of the thieves will be cursed." profound.

      The question of human nature and sin is very direct in every dialogue, about deceit, betrayal, fornication, lying, murder, homosexuality.
      In fact, the way the opening chapter begins, first is the encounter between the priest and the murderer, and the murder that...

      Atypical priest by Brendan Gleeson

      When it comes to Irish priests, what immediately springs to mind is Liam Neeson's character in "Gangs of New York" or "Pluto's Breakfast", where power lurks in secret, like their long black robes under the cross.

      And what kind of Irish priest is Brendan Gleeson, who once portrayed the "atypical guard" in "Bad Guard"?
      He is a single father, loves his troubled daughter, he is accompanied by a dog, he is lonely, confused, overwhelmed by a death threat while listening to his...

      Forgive me~~~ People will only remember the bad of others and don't remember the good of others at all. Who burns the church and kills the dog. I didn't expect the ending to be like that. It's a good...

      This seems to be the case in ancient and modern China and abroad. Why should the sins of bad people be forgiven by letting good people...

      I didn't watch the hit film at the Sydney Film Festival, but now I have a wish. It's good-looking, well-acted, and the accents are so funny. But buddy is not as good as his brother, Bruges and the seven madmen are too awesome. Why didn't these two follow Cohen's example to get...

    Evaluation action

    This film is not so much a contemplation as it is a reverie, a entanglement of emotion and reason, while reflecting anxiety and calmness. ( "Los Angeles Times" review  ) The film is a comedy with heavy taste, a very interesting drama, a film about life thinking, and a lively work about death. ( "Hollywood Reporter" review  ) The visual, intellectual and emotional climaxes in the film. ( "New York Post" review  ) This film is enough...

    Movie quotes

    • Father James Lavelle: He was a good man, your husband?

      Teresa: Yes. He was a good man. We had a very good life together. We loved each other very much. And now... he has gone. And that is not unfair. That is just what happened. But many people don't live good lives. They don't feel love. That is why it's unfair. I feel sorry for them.

    • Father Leary: Things you hear in confession these days. It's depressing.

      Father James Lavelle: You have to detach yourself from it. We're here to provide solace. Your personal feelings don't come into it.

      Father Leary: I know that. What do you take me for? It's difficult, though, the mess people make of their lives.

      Father James Lavelle: What's the problem? Without going into details, obviously.

      Father Leary: Your one with the big black eye on her. Have you seen her?

      Father James Lavelle: Veronica Brennan, yeah.

      Father Leary: She's an odd one. The things she comes out with. It's like she's trying to drag you down into the muck. Do you know what felching is?

      Father James Lavelle: I do know what felching is, yeah.

      Father Leary: I had to look it up.

      Father James Lavelle: This is you not going into details, is it?

    • Father James Lavelle: I've always felt there's something inherently psychopathic about joining the army in peacetime. As far as I'm concerned, people join the army to find out what its like to kill someone. I hardly think that's an inclination that should be encouraged in modern society, do you? Jesus Christ didn't think so, either. And the commandment "Thou shalt not kill" does not have an asterisk beside it, referring you to the bottom of the page where you find a list of instances where it's okay to kill people.

      Milo Herlihy: What about self defense?

      Father James Lavelle: That's a tricky one, all right. But we're hardly being invaded, though, are we?

      Milo Herlihy: The war on terror has no borders.

      Father James Lavelle: I don't think Sligo is too high on Al-Quaeda's agenda, Milo, do you?

      Milo Herlihy: Who knows what goes on in the Muslim mind?
