True, but don't like Philomena's forgiveness

Good, but not as expected, maybe it's time to read the original book written from the perspective of "Anthony".

Philomena's remorse and hesitation should be in line with the real reaction of an old lady of her age, education level, and living and working environment. For ordinary people of their generation, the purity and importance of religion is far beyond the reach of elite figures, or young people today.

Although she can understand her forgiveness to a certain extent, Philomena's accusation of Martin's angry behavior when Martin accuses the nun is a little ridiculous. Although she herself said that her decision to forgive was difficult, not so easy. Perhaps for the sake of his own career, while following Philomena to find her son, Martin did something for his own good, but not so good for Philomena. But when he finally returned to the church where the journey started, should he calmly record that Philomena chose to forgive?

    Apart from "Nebraska" and "Wall Street" that I haven't seen yet, this should be my favorite one of the nominated films this year. There is no big hero here, just a little old lady in the village who swears. Rumble step by step to live out a real life powerhouse. Every line of dialogue here and every "burden" is serving the plot and characters. From this point of view, the antonym of this film is probablyspan

    For atheists, how I wish Grandma Judi Dench would scold that evil nun at the end! These two women are like the pros and cons of religion, which can teach people to be good, but also cause people to distort; the film's brilliance is in its extremely restrained attitude, but in the end, it releases emotions extremely well, but it does not degrade Criticism; should there be faith? Whatever the answer is, it has nothing to do with TM's religion.

Philomena quotes

  • Martin Sixsmith: Now why would someone who cared so little about where he came from, wear something so Irish?

    Philomena: Well... perhaps he played the harp. He *was* gay.

    Martin Sixsmith: He didn't play the harp.

  • Martin Sixsmith: Phil, how did you know he was gay?

    Philomena: Well he was a very sensitive little boy, and as the years rolled on, I always wondered if he might be. But when I saw the photograph of him in the Dungarees

    [chuckles]

    Philomena: there was no doubt in my mind.
