Christianity, from the initial world view system, to the medieval philosophy, politics, and social control, to the rise of rationalism and humanism in the Renaissance, finally encountered new challenges in the era of large-scale industry. In pursuit of super-rationality and decentralization, postmodernism must remove the original God, create a new God, and establish a new religious system with "reason" or "man" as God (Nietzsche: God is dead !). This film is a perfect parody of this change: (1) The original religious system and principles, like God's rigid computer programs, are no longer applicable to modern society; although God's rules are "towering into the sky", they cannot be left and right The center of people's behavior; (2) People are no longer satisfied with the original religious life trajectory "original sin-salvation-judgment-heaven/hell" model, which can neither give people a better experience in today's complex society, nor solve the problem of ideological and Dilemma of survival, no longer convinced of God; (3) More individualized and humanized psychological needs, torture the original religious and moral values, such as the six common modern psychological problems represented by the six masters and apprentices in this film: psychological trauma ( Beauty), conformity-killed personality (middle class), loneliness (old woman), apathy and value denial (sex addict), emotional distress (killer), identity (transgender boy), the escape that comes with these issues , "betrayal", degeneration, etc. are all intolerable to traditional religions, and the two cannot be reconciled; (4) The ultimate pursuit of "life" by traditional religions can no longer lead modern people. It is not the fear of death itself and the awe of religion that caused people (the era when people could be sold indulgences after frightening the people in the Middle Ages is gone), but it seems to break the shackles of everyone and make everyone more free. To breathe, to chase the dream, even if it is just for a moment, not for eternity, but for one day. All these, angels (God's daughter and wife) gave people new solutions: listen to their inner voice, grasp the limited life, all beings are equal, pursue innocence, rush through life, and pay attention to the rainbow around you. Although these new three views are very chicken soup, the film subtly and accurately pierces the depths of our hearts, and gives you just the right amount of softness, which makes people laugh and feel moved, playful but profound.
