A lot of people after watching my film think the old nun is an old-fashioned puritanical character, but if you pay attention to the details, you will find that the old nun is actually a very caring person, but she is not very revealing. old nun When the old nun found that the old nun could not find the spoon due to her vision loss during the meal, the old nun helped her and told other nuns not to let others know that the old nun was about to go blind. She knew [+Expand] would abandon them when the old mammy became blind). The old nun also cared about black boys, but her behavior was different from that of the priest. The old nun did not like music, sugar, and nails. These are mostly some of her expressions after losing her husband and not getting the love of her lover. A friend commented earlier that the old nun should use evidence to prove the innocence of the priest. I also do not agree with this statement. You must know that religious belief cannot be established by logic. I am not saying that we do not need logic.

If the old nun relied on evidence to prove the priest's behavior, then the film would have nothing to say. The conflict between the old nun and the priest is actually a conflict of human nature and personality, and there is nothing wrong with the suspicion of the old nun, because Christianity believes that people have original sin, and the priest is no exception, as long as you are a lot of people There are times when mistakes are made and the priest should be more pure and self-loving, so the old nun suspected that the priest was actually helping the priest. The priest is not God. God is beyond doubt without doubt. Let's talk about the priest again. I wonder if everyone noticed that the black boy asked the white man at the beginning: Am I getting fat? While the priest and other priests were having a meal, the protagonist priest asked the other priest: Is she fat? The protagonist, the priest, replied with a smile: "It is very fat." This was deliberately arranged by the director. Besides, the priest likes flowers, keeps his nails moderate, likes sugar, and likes secular music, all of which show that the priest is an emotional character, and it also implies that he has homosexual tendencies.

I personally am not against homosexuality. Christianity is against it. The priest smokes. There are various signs that the priest is actually a very secular figure, but he is very caring and loving to his children, and having homosexual tendencies is only a matter of personality and cannot hinder his good side, so It can also be well explained that although he left there, he was promoted later because he could bring worldly things to the church, which is good for the church, and his homosexuality is irrelevant here. And the really intriguing thing is the last conversation between the priest and the old nun: The priest admits that he will make mistakes. He says he has repented and also thinks that the old nun also made mistakes. They are the same people. But the old nun said: "No, we are not the same." The old nun agreed that there were many sins and mistakes between them, but he did not agree with the priest's view that he only needed to repent when he was guilty. The old nun was strict with herself and others; she did the chores herself, and she acted strictly according to the canon. At the end, the old nun repents for using lies and inducements to force the priest to leave. Priests are enslaved but have lost God. The old nun was born but got God. The confusion of being born and entering the world is the real confusion. And the subtitle that appears at the end: I would like to dedicate this film to a certain mother. The author's intention has been stated.
