So-called religion

After watching it, you will know why Su Zhixie loves this movie so much, why he was introduced to South Korea and participated in the dubbing, and then you will know what kind of stigmatization the show has made in his heart. The same is the son who was taken away from his mother since he was a child, and the same is the son who returned to the country to find his mother before he died. The same is that someone hides the truth and lied that the mother abandoned the son. I believe that my mother has never abandoned myself to death. But this time, it was the mother who dragged her aging body and ran with the help of kind people, finally found the truth, redeemed herself, and forgiven others. Su embraced this movie to comfort Cha Wu Hyuk... and also to warm himself [heart]

It took several days to read it bit by bit, and after each pause, the plot after watching it lingered in my mind for a long time. Behind the calmness is subtle exploration, and there is great power in calmness. Humor and human feelings alternate between warm and cold, and sorrow and grief burst out slowly in temperance.

An old man accompanies an old lady who is much older than him to find the long-lost person and the long-buried truth. During this journey, two people who were originally out of place comforted each other's hearts. Outside of the screen, I was amused by the old lady's nonsensical thinking from time to time, and my eyes were filled with sad tears from time to time.

In my opinion, this movie does not satirize the evil of religion and humanity as some film critics say, but also satirize the evil of Martin as a media person. No, the director did not examine everyone from the perspective of God, but objectively demonstrated the rationality of everyone’s behavior. The old nun insisted on using religious piety to conceal her hypocrisy, indifference and cruelty, and Philomena gradually let her One’s own soul is freed from the bondage of religion, and is no longer always weak to excuse God and the problems caused by religion, but to become one’s own God, and decide whether to hate or love, to punish or to forgive, even if It's just because "Hate is too tired."

And Martin has his own view of good and evil, always insisting on his own persistence. He is keen and cynical, always unable to suppress the sense of justice in his heart, and has firm beliefs, sincerity and kindness.

In the end, he and she were the same, they became their own gods. He decided to continue to examine, question, and continue to forgive those hypocrisy, lies and indifference. She decided to be magnanimous to the perpetrators, but she also wanted to make her story public so that the world could understand the truth of this cruel shame.

The true meaning of religion lies not in kindness and love, but in freedom of the soul.

    For atheists, how I wish Grandma Judi Dench would scold that evil nun at the end! These two women are like the pros and cons of religion, which can teach people to be good, but also cause people to distort; the film's brilliance is in its extremely restrained attitude, but in the end, it releases emotions extremely well, but it does not degrade Criticism; should there be faith? Whatever the answer is, it has nothing to do with TM's religion.

Philomena quotes

  • Martin Sixsmith: Now why would someone who cared so little about where he came from, wear something so Irish?

    Philomena: Well... perhaps he played the harp. He *was* gay.

    Martin Sixsmith: He didn't play the harp.

  • Martin Sixsmith: Phil, how did you know he was gay?

    Philomena: Well he was a very sensitive little boy, and as the years rolled on, I always wondered if he might be. But when I saw the photograph of him in the Dungarees

    [chuckles]

    Philomena: there was no doubt in my mind.
