Human nature is a topic that can't be talked about anymore. The question now is whether to talk nicely or not. But what interests me more is the underlying belief issues underlying the narrative narrative, although this is not necessarily the direction the screenwriter is striving for. Perhaps the question should be asked this way: What is the nature of faith?
The most obvious answer that can be found in the movie is of course "fear." Whether it is eternal death of the soul, doomsday or fear of the unknown, faith is just another expression of fear. People have faith because of the instinct of fear. .
It always reminds me of Pascal's lovely "gambler's theory": if we don't believe in God, if God exists, we're going to hell; and if we believe in God, we're nothing without God Loss; both sides weigh, or believe in God.
Orthodox believers are accustomed to accuse Pascal of blasphemy, believing that believers with such motives will ultimately find only the seat God reserved for him in hell. In fact, the honest Pascal just put something tacit or selectively disregarded on the table.
Dissatisfied with Pascal's answer, Kant tried to create the cause of rational religion, which replaced instinct with reason and gave God legitimacy. However, historical facts prove that this attempt ultimately leads more to nothingness than to God. The more fundamental question is - does God need man to give legitimacy? Of course Kant would say no, because God is only necessary. However, his actions and pursuits are obviously not completely convincing.
Only those who believe are saved—this is the fundamental reason why I did not choose God in the past, and probably will never choose God in the future. Not just because this view of belief itself may lead to sin and give it too many excuses. Absolute faith means the abandonment of freedom, and freedom is the ultimate in all my longings. What I really can't forgive is that God's ultimate yardstick is itself, and not something else, such as morality. Can you imagine holding a gun and forcing others to praise yourself and calling that praise faith? of course not. And "death" and "suffering" are the guns in the hands of God, and we are all God-made Godeslmore patients. Of course, some people will say that to enjoy the grace of God deserves the glory that is worthy of the grace, because people have too many original sins. I think why God didn't let people have more good instincts instead of greedy beasts, this is his fault, and it has nothing to do with me. If there is no essential difference between a God to follow and a rascal in the robes of high society, then everyone who is willing to pursue the good has enough legitimate reasons to beg God to reserve a seat for them in hell.
Of course, the above is all gossip and has nothing to do with the content of the movie. Perhaps the theme of the film itself can be summed up in one sentence: Everyone has a Silent Hill in their hearts!
