love and redemption

Just as the heroine Julie said, "It's not a love story. But it's a story about love." Indeed, this is not a love story, but a story about love.
"For the moment I saw her, I love to and no matter the price is. You can't walk away from love". The seductive voice, obsessive eyes, sexy lips and round and tender breasts... I believe that Louis' initial love for Julie was just lust, especially for a man like him who didn't believe in love at all. But so what? Human love is born out of desire.
"Love is to keep giving; desire is to keep getting." Love can't escape, and slowly the male protagonist's desire for love is less and more love. With the poisoned coffee, Louis said to Bonnie slowly, quietly and painfully: "I love you, whether you are good or bad, whoever you are, I just love you", and then he drank the poison he knew . If you can't prove it by living, then you can prove it by death. At this moment, Louis' love has transcended love in the ordinary sense, as well as life and death. It has no desire, it has only simple giving, complete and regretless giving.
"Original Sin" is one of the important theological propositions of Christianity, and it is also an important doctrine of Christianity. Original sin is the destiny of sin. Under the temptation of Satan, Adam and Eve, the first ancestors of mankind, went against God's will and stole the "forbidden fruit" from the tree of life. Since then, mankind has been born with sin. And this sin is caused by desire, and almost all sins of human beings are also related to improper desire. Desire is the beginning of sin. Love is also sin, because human love arises out of lust. But love is both sinful desire and God's way of redemption and self-redemption for mankind. At this time, the love of the male protagonist is no longer pure love, it is close to the love of God, it pays, but does not need to be returned.
Christ said that everyone is sinful, everyone has a tendency to sin/fall/do evil, and all have the seeds of sin and evil. As long as the conditions are right, the consciousness of depravity and evil in people's hearts will be practiced (this reminds me of the ancient Chinese "" Evil nature” theory). Original sin cannot be redeemed. Unless you find someone like that, you are the key to each other's lives. There is a saying in the film that "there is no love in the world, only misguided feelings and feelings", and the film also says "love is reserved only for those who believe in it." Only those who believe in love can receive love, and "whoever believes in me will have eternal life. ”, as is the love of God, and only those who believe in it can be truly redeemed.
Indeed, this is not a love story, but a story about love, a story about love and redemption. This kind of redemption can also be said to be a kind of "forgiveness" in a sense, as the so-called "if someone hits your left cheek, then you give him the right cheek as well", but "repaying resentment with virtue, why repay virtue?" , Maybe it is Confucius's "repaying grievances with directness, and repaying virtue with virtue", right? Confucius is talking about the law of the world. We are in the midst of the red dust, and we secretly think that the method of his old man is better.
In fact, whether it is Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, or remembering Christ, it is good for people as long as they have beliefs, but it is a pity that in today's era of broken rituals and music - just as the Bible says, on the one hand, people deify themselves (arrogance), on the other hand On the one hand self-sinking (fallen). Without belief, without fear, one will have no shame. When we were in school, teachers often asked us to write our thoughts after reading, this is our ambition.
