Been watching this video for a long time. I'm writing this review because I'm bored reading other reviews.
The fundamental content of this film is to talk about doubts.
And this story is just a very vivid interpretation of this thing.
With religion as a background, it is precisely because doubt and belief seem to be opposing concepts of human behavior.
Without doubt, holding high faith can make people move forward firmly.
Like the preaching of a priest, this is the benefit of faith, which is like the North Star on a boat.
So what about doubt? Doubt?
Doubt, doubt, make people need each other, trust each other, group each other.
Many people don't understand this.
In other words, there are many things we can't be sure of, which also keeps us from going beyond the boundaries of being human, and makes each other more tolerant and affectionate. Instead of admitting that she holds the truth in her hand, she becomes the judge of her people.
Faith is for God, a relationship with God.
Doubt is the boundary that allows us to return to human nature and do a good job of interpersonal relationships. Doubt about oneself is the cornerstone of people's trust in each other.
By admitting that you have the truth in your hands, you no longer need and will not trust anyone else.
The nun refused to doubt, her rigidity and seriousness came from this. The pursuit of the priest also came from this. The nun had experiences of self-doubt, or mistakes. She didn't really forgive herself. Or accept that you are ignorant, make mistakes, and be human. In the film, only in the final dialogue with the priest, the part of her heart that is shown is that of a nun who is still full of fear, guilt, and is close to collapse.
She did this to herself, to others, and to the priest.
On the contrary, the priest is trying to accommodate all of this, or rather, the limitations of human beings. It is precisely because of the limitations of human beings that people need to help and trust each other even more.
The priest didn't further amplify the fight with the nun, guess why? I think it's to protect the nun, or to help her. I don't want her to pay a high price for this knot.
At the end of the quarrel between the priest and the nun, the nun was actually on the verge of collapse, revealing the scars in her heart.
If you can't understand this. You can refer to the movie American Beauty, the gay military father who shows homophobia everywhere. Being gay, but suffering and rejecting homosexuality. Then nothing to blame or even kill others. And the son he blames and the protagonist's neighbor are not gay.
The nun's psychology is also like this. As a human being full of doubts and ignorance, and making mistakes, she does not accept such a self. And this standard harsh and blame the people around.
Accepting your own doubts is actually re-embracing yourself as a human being with various limitations. It is also a kind of self-salvation.
In fact, many modern believers or atheists only have God or reason in their eyes, but they do not have human beings, and they do not accept or even harshly criticize human beings.
The characters in the movie all have their own problems and difficulties. 80% of the priest is gay, but this is not something he can decide, but it will not be tolerated by the environment. The little nun's ignorance and dogma, she can't find the north, whatever the leader is inclined to, she will go in which direction. The nun's stubbornness, or even paranoia, is actually more similar to a traumatic personality disorder.
In my opinion, 80% of the priests are gay, so they can experience the hardships of being human, and people should trust and help each other.
When he saw the nun's heart, he chose to be inclusive.
The nun did not accept her ignorant and erring self, but the priest accepted it for her.
This is actually a story of human healing, and a story of embracing humanity itself.
Embrace doubts and return to yourself.
If we admit that God comes to judge, the main characters here have their own sins. Should all humans go to hell? Including ourselves?
