      My love, are you here to seduce me, are you Satan?

      The film "Father" has a rich and complete plot, and it is in every detail.
          The characters are full, from the priest to the little girl to the girl's father, the priest's friend, the bishop, all the performances are vivid and just right, without exaggeration or deficiency.

          I'm a more Buddhist person, but generally speaking, I don't reject Christianity. And the priest in this film really touched me. Christ does not speak of "letting go," "release," and "indifferent," so...

      Two contradictions

      Two contradictions. There is no eternal definition of right and wrong. It is not resisting religion, nor is it a religious believer, so it is even less qualified to speak. But what I want to say is, even in the Bible, there are contradictory arguments. Therefore, it is your choice to believe in which side, and this is also a biblical belief, so there is no real right or wrong. . Some people may say that this is against the will of religious belief, but why can't it be regarded as the way...

      I have no shame in my heart

      This is a story about salvation, self-salvation and salvation.

      Most of the film reviews I have watched focused on the priest's own struggle and confusion, but ignored another very important branch-the story of the little girl who was sexually assaulted by his father. What should be done when the doctrine to be followed is opposed to the conscience? What has to be done? What must be done? The priest's struggle with these issues is a metaphor for his own incompatible choices and...

      Real struggle

      In the last scene of the movie, although everyone stayed at the Mass, no one wanted to receive the Eucharist in the hands of Father Greg. Only the girl Lisa who had confessed to Greg and was violated by her father walked in front of him. Greg hesitated, his hand holding the Eucharist was slightly raised, and then retracted. After the ceremony, the tears in Greg's eyes burst into his eyes. He fell on Lisa's shoulder in pain and sobbing...

      Thanks to the hard work of the subtitle team,...

    Evaluation action

    The style of "Priest" is rigorous and simple. The plot is advanced step by step. The film does not shy away from sensitive political, religious, and social moral issues. The actors' performances are solid but not dazzling. In all fairness, except for taboo subjects, all aspects of the film's performance are quite satisfactory, but perhaps it is this unpretentious style that can give people more room for self-thinking. The film focuses...
