believer

I am a person who is more fascinated by religion, but I have never believed in any kind of religion. It may be Buddhism that is a little bit more religious, but I have never prayed for anything. This may be one of the manifestations of a negative life. The reason I am fascinated is that I really want to understand what makes people so enthusiastic. I asked the duck what he believed in, and the duck said he believed in Buddha. I said, fart, what you believe in is the lower body. The duck twisted his face and smiled. The duck is so fascinated by the movement of the lower body that I am ashamed of myself, who is also a man. Little D believes in Buddha, Li Zongxin himself, Ding Weixin Buddha and the strange little animal tattoo on his arm. I also believe in the ancient Hack’s Internet spirit, Punk’s anarchy, hippies fucking away from mainstream society, and so on. My old man believed in Marx and Engels, and now I think his beliefs are a bit of a collapse.

Belief is indeed a very interesting behavior for people. The most important thing is to give you spiritual support and psychological comfort when you are desperate. I am interested in the life of those young people who went to the mountains and the countryside during the Cultural Revolution. They had beliefs and dreams. The fusion of these two things makes them particularly enthusiastic in life. Whether they are mischievous or hooked up with village girls, they can all be attributed to a yearning for hope in life.

"The Believer" and "The Beast" are the same type of films, and they are also two excellent films about faith. "Beasts and Good People" is about the collapse and reconstruction of faith, while this film focuses more on salvation. In the end, the protagonist chose to reincarnate in destruction. The depth of love and the depth of hatred can sum up this movie.

This world is a world in which beliefs are gradually collapsing. Different beliefs create different values, and people with different values ​​actually have very little room for communication, so some people have to put on a mask of hypocrisy and feel wronged by stronger values. Over time, over time, maybe it's what it is now.

In later days in Tibet, Yuki always complained about why Tibetans always had nothing to do, and always came to the temple to come back and forth, why couldn't they do something practical, such as taking a bath, and working seriously to get rid of the poverty of life. These complaints caused me to turn my face from shame to anger several times. I really don't want to tell her that faith is proportional to happiness or pain.

Undoubtedly, the protagonist in the film is painful. It originated from his inability to redeem himself, and he didn't even have the ability to destroy himself. The appearance of the Jewish youth who was beaten up by the protagonist at the beginning almost flashed back to a copy of the protagonist’s youth in the seminary. This opening chapter was very shocking when I watched it repeatedly in the next few times. It perfectly expressed the protagonist's firm but incompetent behavior towards his own inner beliefs and broke out contradictions and hatred.

In comparison, "The Beast and the Minster" is more explosive due to Edward Norton's interpretation. However, "The Believer" showed a slight procrastination in the second half, and the later speeches felt that the performance was not strong enough.
