I am who I am

I think that if the movie is also classified as a book, the movie "Nuns Are Crazy" should be classified as a "workplace" category.

Think about it, if you are an extrovert, like music and dance, and are willing to deal with people, and you end up working in a dogmatic and unruly place, what would you do?

Resign? Suppress your own nature and adapt to the environment? Staying, but refusing to join in with each other, waiting for the time to leave? Give full play to your strengths and be yourself? Guess what our heroine did? She went further than what was said above. She used her power to influence the whole group and even started a new life journey.

Of course she was not like this in the beginning. She is a showgirl who performs in the karaoke hall of the casino and the lover of the underworld boss. She hurried to call the police because she witnessed the murder of her lover. She was protected by the police as a witness and hid in a small monastery before the trial. She is extremely reluctant to stay there. Her shiny clothes, swaggering hairstyle, and big-hearted character, with the "penguin costume" there, sleep at nine o'clock and get up at five o'clock, one bed and one table are all the furniture. The small rooms are out of place, not to mention that there is a "leader" who is very serious and rigid all day-the abbot. She chatted at the forbidden dinner table, sneaked into the bar to drink coke at night, and was eventually fined and joined the choir.

You think that she was originally a singer, and it would be useful to be able to go to the choir. But if you look at this choir, there is only one performance in the early morning of the week. The singing ability varies from good to bad, and the age span is not small. The accompaniment nuns are old enough to need hearing aids. The songs they sing are not "chorus" at all, they can only say yes. "Sing together". If it was I might complain, and then reluctantly mix in it and sing casually. "Say Yes to Life" says: "The more you reject and reject, the more important it becomes." Complaints and dissatisfaction will only drain your energy and become more and more like the people and things you hate.

Fortunately, our heroine did not complain. She was invited to replace the original conductor, and then re-positioned and fixed the chorus voice, telling them "singing is a happy thing, not like a duck singing", the result The chorus of the performance that week was very harmonious. When you applaud her results, she threw out one surprise after another, the upbeat rhythm of the adaptation was refreshing; she led the nuns out of the room to help those in need on the street; demolished the fence and renovated The outer wall becomes colorful and interesting; even the TV station and the Pope are famous for visiting. She really fell in love with this place. This is not a kind of enlightenment. When we can't enter the unit that "more money and less work is close to home", "like to do and have the ability to do", can we find what we are interested in and try our best to do our best , Let it be what you do happily?

But all the influence is two-way. She made the nuns more lively and outgoing. They fell in love with the choir. They released themselves. They dared to dance with passers-by on the street, and dared to sneak ice cream back to the monastery to eat; She was also infected with the nun’s character. When she was found hiding in the casino by her lover, her eyes were calm; when the gun was pointed at her, she just said "calm"; when the lover was arrested, What she said was "Lord bless you".

What are we defined by? It's definitely not a piece of clothing. I once watched a show and did an experiment. The host and the camera dressed very formally, and then used some absurd questions such as Florida is going to be independent and interviewed passers-by. The passers-by answered meticulously; but when they were dressed properly Very casual, when they ask passers-by the same question again, passers-by ignore them. Our brains are very lazy, and we often want to take shortcuts. The nurses in nurse clothes are the beggars. But look at our heroine. She was a singer when she wore a costume. Her lover said that she "cannot be a nun." Chastity and caring"; the nuns also said: "I don't care who she is, but without her, we don't sing." In their eyes, she is the one who can sing, dance, and help others, whether she is true or not. Nun. We are not recognized by our profession and identity. From another perspective, we can become any profession we want to become. You think, all doctors, lawyers, engineers, bosses, don't they all never become yes. So what are we defined by? I think maybe it's our identification with ourselves. I like the heroine's confident eyes and raised corners of her mouth since she was little.

It’s also right to say that this film is a “workplace” category, and it’s all right to say that it’s a “inspirational” category, a “comedy category”, or a “spiritual category”. You can choose any category for it, and it is it, no matter which label Does not affect it.

    One of the repertoires performed by the university choir. I recently saw it on TV. The music is still full of appeal. It reminds me of the happy time of rehearsal. There are not many places where the plot can make people laugh crazy, but they are all Some knowing shots. The nuns are really godsend, especially the fat nuns who love to laugh, they will be in a good mood when they see her~

    The music is really good. Let the deserted nun play this completely opposite song, and the effect is surprisingly good.

Sister Act quotes

  • Reverend Mother: Girl groups? Boogie-woogie on the piano? What were you thinking?

    Delores: I was thinkin' more like Vegas, y'know, get some butts in the seats.

    Reverend Mother: And what next? Popcorn? Curtain calls? This is not a theater or a casino.

    Delores: Yeah, but that's the problem. See, people like going to theaters, and they like going to casinos, but they don't like coming to church. Why? Because it's a drag. But we could change all that, see? We could pack this joint.

    Reverend Mother: Through blasphemy? You have corrupted the entire choir!

    [in the hall, Monsignor O'Hara enters]

    Monsignor O'Hara: Excuse me.

    [he listens to the argument between Delores and Reverend Mother]

    Delores: How can you say that? I worked my butt off with these women! They've given up their free time to do this, and they're GOOD! I mean, sister, we could, we could ROCK this place!

    Reverend Mother: OUT of the question! As of tomorrow, Mary Lazarus resumes her leadership of the choir.

    [Monsignor knocks on the door]

    Reverend Mother: COME IN!

  • Sister Mary Robert: Reverend Mother, I know you and Mary Clarence didn't always agree but we have to help her. Please.

    Sister Mary Patrick: We've gotta save her.

    Sister Mary Lazarus: We can't leave it up to the feds.
