This is an improvement for the director. James McTeigue is the director of the film, which is nothing unusual. At the same time, he is also the director of the famous "V for Vendetta".

Of course, the quality of a series cannot be judged by the director.

This is not a religious film, although it is covered with a religious shell---Messiah, walking on the water, probating prostitutes, probating those with ears.

As Gao Zan commented: The religious knowledge involved in "Modern Messiah" is quite complicated, but it has the least relationship with faith. As the plot progresses, whenever the Messiah reveals his divine nature, it will then give enough balanced evidence to pull it off the altar. The drama deliberately creates a kind of "swing", and this kind of swing is directed at one. The purpose is also a condensed summary of the core of the play.

"Everyone has something to respect. The only thing we choose is the object of respect. Some people surrender to money, some people surrender to power and wisdom. This society is driven by money and power full of greed. The only way to fight back is creation. Useful doubts, which cause the need for questioning, and doubts cause fear, which make us question everything in order to seek understanding."

This drama also presents its most interesting self-deprecation for the above passage, making it come from "Cultural Terrorist". The fact that no matter how advanced thinking is difficult to conceal is that quite a lot of extreme leftist organizations eventually developed into terrorist organizations, causing suffering. Try to attract the attention of other cultures with blood.

The human "self" is too ingrained. Seeing the world through the colored telescope of "I", everything loses its true colors. The best way to leverage it is to "create useful doubts."

It is different from many "Left" and "Right" dramas.

"Modern Messiah" is not preaching. The series is more like a list of evidence, without emotion, without presupposition. The audience chooses to believe or overthrow the previous position as the plot advances. And what he believes is being tortured over and over again.

After all, the “selective listing” of evidence alone can constitute fraud.

This should be enough to count as an improvement for the director. In the V-Vendetta team more than ten years ago, "People should not be afraid of their government." After the gang's shepherd, he handed the key to the new world-the detonator into the hands of the new humans, whether it was vengeance or a mournful heart, and whether it was a "just revenge" or a defense for life when the killing was executed. The appearance of the new world should be created by new humans.

"A monster created by a deformed society becomes a shepherd"-Incitement. This is also the reason why "v" appears to be "small".

So after more than ten years:

"Create useful doubts"

Doubts cause fear,

Fear brings doubt.

Doubt will not bring more.

Doubt does not bring understanding.

People cannot understand.

Until people start to accept it.

Accept different voices.

"When you pursue the truth, you may find comfort."
