watching it, I realized that the movie that moved me the most in this year's Oscar list is here.
Sex: It should definitely be liberating, God-given desires are not for us to ban. But it should be accompanied by positive and correct education and guidance, so as not to reproduce the tragedy of the 14-year-old girl's death due to dystocia.
Sin and Punishment: The clergy are supposed to represent God to guide, redeem, and forgive the sins of the ignorant. The nuns who misinterpreted the gods used their rights as punishment and saw the separation of mother and child as the price of their atonement. In fact, it is a kind of pain that converts one's religious shackles into an act of revenge against those who break this shackles. In the name of fraternity, the seeds of resentment were sown.
Fallen leaves return to their roots: The main purpose of a mother's search for her child is not to reunite her relatives, but to know whether her child misses her as much. The answer is of course yes, so that after the son's death, he is willing to return to the monastery where he was born for burial. Tired birds know back, fallen leaves return to their roots. Family and family are irreplaceable.
Finally, faith: the most valuable part of the film - the journalist who doesn't believe in God says he won't forgive the evil nun. This may be the cry in the hearts of most of our audience. What the nuns did was abominable, both from a legal and humane standpoint. But the shining point of this film is that Philomena, who has persisted in her faith for many years, said to the nun, "I forgive you", and told reporters that she did not want to increase hatred. Immediately, I felt that Philomena's golden light was blooming behind her, and the gods were flashing like a virgin descending to the earth - this is the faith we really need!
It turns out that the punishment chosen by the nun and the ruthless exposure made by the reporter are not as good as a word of merciful forgiveness, and can give the most powerful counterattack to sin and ugliness! God's love for the world is so great.
