When I saw half of it, I always felt that it was very similar to Aamir Khan's setting of #我的神啊#. It was also the male protagonist who was the only one who jumped out of the mundane cognition and questioned the magic stick who wanted to cheat and collect money in the name of God. And return the other person in the way of the other, debate with the god stick in the name of God, and finally let the god stick contradict himself, and the ordinary people finally see the truth and find their true self. After reading it, I found out that Aamir Khan's version was a latecomer. Unfortunately, it was not watched in the order of release, and the viewing experience was slightly different. The following is divided according to the 2012 version and the 2014 version.

The 2012 version has many advantages, from the perspective of an ordinary atheist to reveal the religious hordes of Mumbai, how the gods deceive the world, use waste as a means, and make money for the purpose, the road has been starved to death, the status quo of Zhumen wine and meat smell, comedy There is a connotation of thinking in it. But I really don't understand the meaning of arranging a real god. If there is no such god, it seems that the male protagonist can solve the problems that follow. And let an atheist really meet God, do you want to slap the male protagonist in the face? It seems to be in conflict with the idea of ​​the whole movie. But the bottom line at the end of the film, abandoning fear, believing in gods and being fearless, can be considered a logical return.

Because I have seen the 2014 version, it is inevitable that there will be comparisons. It is true that the latter is handled more carefully than the former in the court trial. In 2012, the male protagonist's process of collecting evidence for the court trial was not presented at all, and the process of public opinion suddenly turning to the other side was indeed too abrupt. The male protagonist's debating ability seems to be suddenly given by the screenwriter. The source of the male protagonist's unusual ideas cannot be explained rigidly. When the male protagonist offended the public anger for the first time and shook his status as a religious liar, except for being chased on the day of the first trial, After the family left, they did not encounter more dangers, and it was not enough to set off the bad behavior of the group of religious liars. In contrast, the 2014 version is completely free of these bugs. The male protagonist is an alien, and the language, culture, and habits are all learned from the superficial. In this way, the interpretation of the source of the idea is logical. The male protagonist encountered an explosion because he challenged authority, and the shock of the witness being killed is even better. The black and evil methods of religious liars are vividly reflected.

If you don't compare, the 2012 version is already pretty good. I don’t believe in myself, but I respect the beliefs of others and don’t easily despise or destroy other people’s beliefs.
