The hypocrisy of religion, the oppressed humanity

The film gave me the feeling of the hypocrisy of religion and the suppression of human nature under this hypocrisy. In the film, the reporter asked the old lady why she didn't look for it before. She said that she always thought that having a child out of wedlock was a punishment for her sin (also a nun's point of view), and later she felt that lying was also sin. Missing his son finally prevailed, but unfortunately, due to the obstruction of the monastery, he could not see the last side of his son. The old lady's final forgiveness is also religious education. She even said to the reporter: I'm not like you, I don't hate it. The bondage of religion separates the mother and daughter, and she herself still does not feel that she is also religiously educated. At the end, the two drove away from the cemetery, and when my anger and sadness were not over, the old lady started to tell the plot of her favorite romance novel, which left me speechless and ironic. Of course, the film also reflects some other content. But this kind of behavior of adhering to religious teachings, suppressing human nature, and annihilating human nature is still the most impressive to me. (There are no subtitles when watching, there may be deviations. Please don't mind.)
