The Irish girl Philomena was naive and romantic. Because of her greed for joy overnight, she committed an unforgivable crime in that era and was sentenced to confinement in a monastery to do laundry. Fortunately, she was also able to see her son Anthony regularly. His tender hands on her forehead and his wet mouth on her cheeks were her happiest moments, and all her suffering became worth it. To this end, she devoted herself to God, and was willing to accept all punishment, listening to those ruthless nuns who interpret God's will at will.
Her life and Anthony were like two tangent circles. From the moment they separated, they could not find a point of intersection for 50 years, but because of God's protection and love for each other, they finally gathered at the original starting point. , hug each other again.
I can understand Martin's uncontrollable anger at the church clergy who separated Philomena and her son, and the resulting doubts about God. But on the other hand, I feel that Melofina has received God's grace in her life. The day that brought her a lifetime of pain, but also brought her the beauty of love, even though she only met that handsome young man overnight, she never hated him, only his handsome eyebrows and eyes in her memories And tenderly, he made her a woman in a full sense. Make her a mother overnight, like a messenger of God to send her the most beautiful gift, a lovely little life. The son was brutally taken away from her at a very young age, but he gained a better life that she could not give, and grew into a social elite. Although he died of AIDS, he found the love he was looking for, and his sexuality was tolerated and forgiven in a country more open than where he was born. She thought that her son's file had been destroyed in a fire and all the information had disappeared, but God let Martin overhear another key clue. Her son had passed away, and her search seemed to be meaningless. She was about to embark on the plane returning home, but God led her to stay inexplicably. In front of Pete's door, she and Martin were ready to give up, but God gave her miraculous courage to knock on the closed door, finally allowing her and her son to hear each other in the truth of family affection A call to love. Is all this not a miracle?
Religion is not an articulate thing, it only depends on our own choices. Faithfully believe that it is there. But even stubborn disbelief should not be a sin. Religion should have its deepest tolerance and understanding, and compassion is its true face. All distorted and exaggerated inheritances or interpretations are just dust stained on the religious coat, and one day they will rustle and fall under the brush of reason. Under the light of wisdom, religion will gradually reveal its divine and humanistic context.
Philomena is just a little old Irish lady who doesn't have much knowledge. She doesn't behave elegantly in the hotel on the plane. The novel she reads is as naive as Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf, but she has no faith in faith under any circumstances. Firmness, gratitude and appreciation for the ordinary behavior of others, and a broad-mindedness that is beyond the reach of others in the face of sin. It is because of the strong and deep love in her heart that she can see at a glance that the smiling man is the child she has missed for most of her life, so she can talk about her son's sexual orientation without any sense of disobedience, and can have incomparable courage and courage. Incredibly forgiving, still choosing to forgive at the moment of learning the truth. Perhaps she is more willing to hand over the right of judgment to God, but she just wants to bathe in love, and is unwilling to let the shadow of hatred shade the pure love and thoughts of her and her son.
On the contrary, the nuns' destruction and imprisonment of human nature not only hurt others, but also exchanged for themselves a shackle of lifelong loneliness and unhappiness. The embrace of God should be a spiritual paradise, but the faces of those nuns were filled with gloom all day long. They judged Philomena's sins in the name of God, but they didn't know that was the real blasphemy against God. They forced mothers and children to be separated from each other, and they were the sinners that God should punish. If God asks the world to cut off love and guide the world to abandon human relations, how can He still be the heavenly Father who redeems the world and loves all beings? It is precisely because they do not understand love that they madly kill the love of others, and God will not approve of such dehumanizing behavior, so they have practiced abstinence all their lives, and have never really heard the gospel of God. They who never know repentance and never truly understand the mercy of God can only rot with the dead grass and withered trees in the garden, while the love of Philomena and Anthony is engraved on the monument of faith and is immortal with the years.
