to see whether a mountain is a mountain, whether a mountain is not a mountain, or a mountain or a mountain
. This is a process of understanding. From understanding From doubt, to the process of returning to the essence. In the film, one old and one young priest's understanding of religion is in line with this process. At the same time, Spider's understanding of Jijiro also conforms to this process. The audience's nature of the characters also conforms to this process of understanding I think this imagery is very
clear .
Whether it is from the picture, when the merchant ship sails into the Japanese island, it rises from the thick fog to the top of the sun. From the beginning of the whole story, the smoke is filled with smoke, to the later stage The clarification of Amaterasu, I think there is this intention. There is also this sun, which was clicked at least twice in the movie. I think it should be the hero who finally recognized the concept of Amaterasu. In essence, it is only different in form from God. There is no you and me.
The Chinese word "defense" is very interesting, it means to retreat from the heart, not to be in a state of attack. At the beginning, the little spider disregarded all kinds of obstacles and wanted to preach in all directions, which was actually an attack mentality. The native Japanese culture is a gesture of aggression. But when he gave up the teachings of Catholicism and retreated to his own heart. Just to spread science and education, it was a form of "keeping". In the end, Jijiro's repentance became one of God's kind of response.
Overall, I think this concept is very Buddhist, I don't know if there is a corresponding concept in Christian culture, and the explanation in the film actually confuses me very much. In the film, Garfield becomes a moral choice. The question is whether to sacrifice ego or to achieve ego. Whether to let his followers die or let them give up the doctrine. He seems to be taking a self-sacrificing way. But what I see as a result is that he is practical about this sacrifice. It was just a moment of self-breakthrough. When he stepped on it, he lived a peaceful and rich life in the rest of his life. It was similar to Song Jiang being recruited. It was even more comfortable than Song Jiang. Because Song Jiang had soldiers in his hands after all
. I think Garfield was completely Japanese in the end. In the end, Yoshijiro's confession was still a Japanese form of religion. At his level, he didn't understand the Holy Father and the Son. But Garfield accepted. Garfield's final death It was cremated, completely in the form of Buddhism. Christianity doesn’t seem to use fire, only for pagans. It’s not true to say that Japan is a swamp. It’s just brainwashing Garfield. It is similar to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom or the White Lotus Sect in China. Jijiro and Garfield contrast each other, one is a priest who thinks he is God, but finally betrays Catholicism in form. . Not only cultural fusion, but even identity fusion.
In this way, religion is a kind of comfort in the end. The lower the bottom, the more devout you may be to foreign religions. The more formal, the more consolation. Sacrifice is not only a suppression of religion, but an encouragement. A single
spark can start a prairie fire .
Garfield is indeed not a good priest. His position finally collapsed and parted ways. He chose the way of silence, allowing the form to give way to the heart.
But religion is, after all, a cultural identity and a tool for domination. In the spread of religion, I think Garfield is betrayed. Of course, this is politically incorrect. The doctrine of Jesus to sacrifice. Garfield thought of himself as Jesus at first, and the reflection of Jesus he saw in the water was actually his own reflection. He claimed himself with the sacrifice of Jesus, and even brought in Kijiro as Judas . Of course this is a kind of arrogance. But in prison, he began to escape. Jesus became God, but he was only a servant of God, and the moment he finally stepped on the idol, he had become Jijirou himself. But he was no longer one with Jesus.
Instead, it was another priest. People said he committed suicide by drowning. I think he was practicing the teachings of Christ. He really sacrificed himself, but of course he did not resurrect. But I am quite shocked by his form. Of course, he may not understand the meaning of religious and cultural aggression. Give up, I don't give up), although this is a more essential approach - saving the weak. This is the surface of religion, and it is also the first line of struggle.
When it comes to line disputes, it is easy to think that a single spark can start a prairie prairie . , you can see that they are also foreign cultures, why is there such a big gap between me and Garfield. I guess it is because the old religion seeks the afterlife, and the old horse said it is the present.
Tucao.
Garfield is really not A good priest. Take a look at Jijiro, who finally comforted him. In fact, he was not a convert of Garfield. Jijiro's confession is particularly complicated. It is difficult to say whether it is for Garfield or his family. It is also a way for him to escape and self-suggestion The mutual achievement of Jesus and Judaism is the religious theme of the old horse's heart. In fact, according to this idea, I feel that we can make up a lot of scenes with two male protagonists, hehe, it seems that the Atlantic Empire is also the same.
Praise.
The shots are so beautiful, I especially like a few Japanese actors. They are straight-forward, life-like, and full of ritual. Moreover, I don’t think other films are as good at shooting Japanese culture. , I also think it has a special Chinese flavor, but the Catholic Church section is very boring. I don't like Garfield's performance, but it's a bit dull, in this sense, it is in line with the characters. In the
end
, what is the meaning of the film's existence, Is it the problem, the symbol? Or the visual lens and the thrill of victory?
Suddenly I remembered another religious film
