The film was made by the original cast of "Three Silly Bollywood", "Three Silly" attacked India's rigid teaching system, and "My God" reflects India's ubiquitous religious system.
As soon as the alien PK landed on the earth, the remote control to return to his planet was robbed. When he wanted to retrieve the remote control, everyone told him, go to God. So he went to every religious god for help, and he did what every god asked—kneeling, rolling, bathing in the river... He did everything every god asked, but no god helped him find the remote control device. The confused PK thought of a problem: the reason why God could not help him solve the problem was because there was a problem in the connection between the person representing God and the real God, that is, he dialed the wrong number.
As an alien, he began to question the gods that people have always believed in, and his doubts made more people think about religion itself, which led to a discussion of theism and atheism.
Whether God exists or not, we will not discuss it for the time being. Nor is the film about whether there is a god. The focus of the film is: Do we need so many gods? Are our sacrifices to God rewarded accordingly? Is God the same as Faith?
When it comes to God, we naturally think of faith. Yes, those who believe in God must have beliefs, and these beliefs, without exception, will give believers a kind of guidance and hope.
There is a girl in the unit who believes in Christianity and is very enthusiastic and responds to other people's needs. On Christmas Eve last year, I was fortunate enough to follow this girl to their church activities. Throughout the event, the pastor and the host called their believers as brothers and sisters. It seemed that because of the same belief, they really became a family. This sense of community is particularly easy to find a sense of presence and belonging.
This is also the charm of the church, it makes you feel not alone, there are so many brothers and sisters. Give your life hope and hope. In this life, someone will accompany you through suffering and joy, and you will not go to hell when your life ends.
Therefore, believing in God, more often, is looking for a kind of hope. Yet it is also an illusory hope.
So the question arises, since God can give people hope, is the more God the better? That's the question the movie asks. This is also the reality of the coexistence of various gods in India.
Because there are too many gods, everyone is defending their own gods, and disputes arise because of this. God was originally meant to transcend us, but gradually, God has become the cause of our disputes. While we are united by God, we are also enclosed in our own community because of God.
Just like the female protagonist in the movie, because the male protagonist is a Muslim, and the goddess of the female protagonist's belief does not allow her to marry a Muslim, her godfather and her family are strongly against the couple being together.
Why does God dictate who we love and what we do? The more such regulations, the more restrictive.
From another point of view, when there are many gods in a country, in order to attract more believers, various gods will only put forward more norms and principles. In this kind of competition, the victims are actually believers .
Religion should give us a kind of hope, a kind of spiritual guidance, and should not limit our freedom.
This is also emphasized by PK.
True faith is not faith in God, but faith in a spirit, a spirit that can positively guide your life.
Alien PK is an atheist, but he also has his own belief, and his belief is love. He likes the heroine, and the heroine likes his ex-boyfriend. In order to let the heroine stay with the person he likes, PK said various misunderstandings about their separation at the beginning. The heroine reunited with her boyfriend. He left the heroine and returned to his own planet. .
Some people believe in gods, some people believe in famous people, some people believe in spirit, faith is the criterion of our life, faith is the road we have to walk, no matter what we believe in, what we believe should not limit us.
As the saying goes, "if you have no hobbies, you can't make friends", which means that a person must have something he insists on and his beliefs. People who do not believe in things are easy to do whatever they want, and people who believe too much are easily tied.
May you and I have principles to adhere to.
