Maybe it's my own preference. Why use God's apparition to explain everything in the end, and even give it a concrete representation. It seems too low.
If you are in a state where you don't know if the heroine is crazy or if everything is really a miracle, there will be more room for people to ponder, and the tragedy of the whole story will be more prominent. On the contrary, if everything is based on the existence of God, it becomes a cheap religious redemption film that has nothing to do with the tragedy of the characters.
Faith or madness, sometimes it is a very difficult question to answer, why do you have to answer it, director? The best directors ask questions without answering them.
With such an abrupt ending, painted with a false golden warm color, the main theme of the whole film is that only sad people persist in their beliefs, no matter how stupid or unbelievable they are, they have done all kinds of things, and finally moved God to get a good result. , WTF, no sense of responsibility at all. So if my man is smashed into a vegetative state and I'm not paranoid begging God for mercy like a madman, is it that I'm not doing enough? ? This kind of behavior is obviously pathetic, but it is actually praised and encouraged at the end? If it was this belief that saved her man, it would be better to say that this belief destroyed her. Wrapped in the praise of selfless devotion is the contempt for human concern. Finally, the feeling of hearing the holy church bells is different from the feeling of frantically lighting wax and singing praises for the sacrificed firefighters and soldiers when you see countless major disasters in your country. No difference. This missionary feeling makes me sick.
Her ignorance has become piety, her madness has become faith, her tragedy has become earth-shattering sacrifice, and everything is justified. I cannot tolerate this kind of value.
