Right view

While watching this movie, I happened to be reading a book called Right View. Some people say that this movie is a mystery, but I think it is very interesting to receive a lot of information in it.
For example, the mathematician in the movie repeatedly mentioned a theory, which is the main line of the movie. Simply put, 2, 4, and 6 are not necessarily followed by 8. It can be any number, and it can be proved to be well-founded. This is exactly the truth of impermanence, impermanence is not a negative word, it just means that things have all kinds of possibilities. It sounds simple, but knowing this truth and being able to use it to see things are completely different things, so the theory in the movie sounds simple, but it is packaged in a deep and mysterious way. To use this method, let's take
another example of a dialogue between two male protagonists. Around the 36th point, the professor taught the students not to believe what they saw with their own eyes. There was a gap between what they saw and the reality. He picked up a stone, and it was real, wasn't it? The professor said are you sure. This again expresses the same meaning as emptiness, a bit like an English version of Zen stories, and I will smile when I see it.

In fact, the film itself is not very good, but many theories cited are very interesting. At the end of the book of Right View, the author refuted some people's search for the commonality of religions and forced to use the theory of one religion to explain another religion. I don't intend to use Buddhism to explain Western scientific thought, but the truth is there. Although we still haven't seen everything, it is very interesting to approach the truth with different methods.

    The perfect crime does not lie in finding the murderer, but in closing the case with a scapegoat.

The Oxford Murders quotes

  • Arthur Seldom: Poor old Guy Fawkes was ahead of his time. He tried to blow up the parliament, the king, lords, & the whole bloody government inside. Since then, every November the 5th we've had this civilized celebration where we burn his image... though nowadays I'd be hard pushed to tell you whether it's to commemorate his failure, or his brilliant idea.

  • Yuri Podorov: One day, the Mad Hatter will come out of the closet and arse f**k the lot of you!
