Those who watch tragedy need to reflect on the plot. Unlike tragedy, the happy ending of comedy is often because the protagonist has perfect wisdom and virtue. Deloris is a man of virtue, talent and wisdom. So where do these qualities of people come from?
The teacher at the beginning of the film said that the young Deloris would become a witch if she didn't abide by the rules. So, why do people who do not follow the rules can later perform miracles again and again, while those who follow the rules often fail to turn corruption into miracles?
My answer is:
because she loves life, she wants a richer and more exciting life path that uses her talents; because she uses her talents, she does not abide by the rules and surprises; because she does not abide by the rules, she will go out more unexpectedly, The road she has never walked; because she has walked more roads that she and others have never walked, so she can know and do more things that she and others cannot do, and then she can have the foundation for creating miracles . People who love life will have unlimited possibilities in their lives-so they will definitely create miracles! So people can do what they want and surprise, but they can't deviate from the classics.
Deloris, who has all kinds of knowledge about music, has a desire for freedom that transcends everything. Even the extremely beautiful sable fur coat given by Vincent is nothing short of a must. But two of her colleagues were very curious about the gifts that others gave, and they wanted to see them. People's fascination with external material is one of the biggest prisons where their own talents can overflow-the difference between talent and mediocrity is judged high. This difference is both cause and effect.
Out of self-confidence, respect and love for her talents, she wanted to leave, leaving the sin city of Reno; leaving the ghost place of the uncivilized club and Vincent and the club's customers who did not appreciate her. Out of respect and love for Vincent's driver and her own life, she went to the police. Out of love for freedom, she would rather face the murderer Vincent and the sinful Reno than the convent that suppresses human nature. Out of love for music, she makes every ordinary rehearsal of the choir perfect and even wonderful. This comedy ending has proved: to make every thing in life, big or small, to be perfect and perfect, to make everything perfect, it will surely be auspicious!
Buddhism is divided into large and small multiplications, and Deloris is very much like a Mahayana Bodhisattva. For example, Deloris urged everyone to step out of the church and stop closing their contacts with the outside world on the grounds of fear of outside dangers, serving the community, giving everything to more people, communicating with the outside world as much as possible instead of practicing alone.
The master of the monastery once said that Dilauris made the church like a cinema, blasphemed religion, and corrupted the choir. As everyone knows, the greatest blasphemy and corruption in life is not loving your life, not doing everything you do well, not being able to do your best, not being able to do more things that you have never done before, and not being able to do more. People serve.
She originally planned to go to Chicago, Miami, New York and other big cities to show her fists and let more people appreciate her, but in an ordinary monastery, she started with an isolated and helpless new nun, using just two In a few months, it changed a group of lifeless nuns, changed a community, made extraordinary achievements that made the pope admire and the whole country fell over it, and eventually became the leading song and dance superstar in the United States. This extraordinary achievement can only be brought about by extraordinary love. Because she loves everything, she has unknowingly changed the fate of herself and more people. Corresponding to the power of love, love all the people, things and things in the world. This is probably the necessary mentality to create miracles.
Buddhism probably agrees with this: as long as you are good enough, even if you can create miracles in any corner of the world, you can become a Buddha. In the second film, she changed an ordinary school that was on the verge of shutting down, and once again performed a miracle to verify this statement.
The lyrics of a few songs that were originally superficial, vulgar to non-ideological, are simply impossible to appreciate. If they are used to express my sincere feelings for my lover, I feel nauseous and disgusting. But the biggest advantage of these songs is that they are as lively and exciting as "The Most Dazzling National Style" and "Little Apple".
I watched the lyrics of each song in the two movies which were adapted by Deloris into a poem. I felt that the original nausea of the lyrics had turned into an unparalleled loyalty and love to God, but there was no such thing as nauseating or disgusting. Feel it. I only see the supreme awe and love of God from the lyrics without other impurities.
In addition to the wonderful changes in the lyrics that made my eyes shine, the cheerful rhythm of the song itself replaced the solemn and solemn rhythm of the previous music. Although solemnity gives people a sense of sacredness and rigor, it also makes people feel lifeless, unpleasant and lethargic. This is probably one of the reasons why people keep away from religion, practitioners, temples, and Taoism: deviation Human nature.
The cheerful rhythm of the adapted poems seems to make oneself, others, churches, gods, religions, and even everything in the world always cheerful, cheerful, lively and lovely, and will never be depressed and sinking into the abyss. Inspiring and uplifting, full of vitality, full of energy, concise and lively is the state that everything should be maintained.
In addition to the wonderful changes in lyrics and rhythm, there are more details, such as the solo, instrumental sound, clapping applause, jazz, rap, etc. arranged in the chorus, which are cleverly inserted to make me amazed and excited.
I think the great thing about Deloris is that she uses the various attributes of music to perfectly connect and blend some common points of humanity, market culture, and religious culture. The social significance of this integration is like when the earth rejuvenates, the ice melts, the lake thaws, and everything recovers; it's like the Berlin Wall in Germany was torn down. Deloris is also like a diplomatic interpreter serving the two countries concurrently, and is a bridge through which several different ideologies and cultures can communicate and blend.
In the movie, Mary Robert has a line: Sometimes you will collapse if you don't be yourself. People and organizations whose instincts are suppressed or restrained by the rules are always easy to fall into the dilemma of poverty. For example, the economic situation of the monastery has been poor; St. Francis's High School is also unable to make ends meet; ordinary people in the world always feel that they are everywhere. The road is sincere and fearful, you fight for me. Fight for power in fear.
Powerful people can only temporarily deter others, but they cannot fundamentally change them. People with prestige have real influence. The source of prestige mainly depends on virtue and wisdom. Human power and power are always inferior to virtue and wisdom. Relying on virtue and wisdom, you can defeat power-this is one of my interpretations of the term "with softness over the strong". The story between Deloris and the abbot and the principal and the education department is one of the best arguments for this argument I have seen.
This movie once again verifies these truths that have been passed down through the ages in China: the benevolent is invincible, the blessed land is blessed to live in, and the Ji people have their own heavens. Deloris is a benevolent person, a blessed person, and a lucky person. This kind of people can always turn good times and create miracles. It was not God, Bodhisattva and other gods and Buddhas who blessed her, it was just self-blessing. The key to truly changing a person's destiny is to rely on one's own internal factors. The outer edge can only play a role after the internal cause is sufficient.
DeLauris’ work and expertise can’t match those of practitioners and pedagogy, but why can the close-down Catherine Abbey and San Francisco St. Francis’s High School revive? Do things that experts in the professional sector can't do? I think there is no other reason, because she loves her own life and the lives of others, as well as all the people and things between the heaven and the earth-this may be the core of this knowledge of being a human being! Maybe you can really be a human being, but wherever you go, doing anything will create miracles.
