There is a kind of drama that I will score 5 points, that is, the atmosphere, atmosphere, character design, art, performance, photography, and original sound of the whole drama have reached a high degree of harmony and stylization, hearty, and a perfect ending. The one I saw this year was the fourth episode of the third season of Black Mirror "San Giugiano", and one was it.
Even so, it is still difficult to explain clearly the contradictory unity of the pope-arrogant and humble, absurd and deep, supported by thousands of people and controversial. Today, I happened to see the book "Dialogue with God" in the bookstore, and I was inspired. Even with a strong combination, the right to sort out and record.
The following are some of the knowledge about God in "Dialogue with God", not the complete original text. This provides an explanation for some contradictory manifestations in the play.
"It is religion that created skepticism."
Contradiction 1: The split between the Pope’s two preaching appointments. Some people interpreted the Pope’s dream sermon in the first episode and the real sermon in the second episode as a conflict between reformists and fundamentalism. Here you can look at it from another angle: the difference between gods and religions. The Pope has two identities, namely, as a saint of God and as a leader of religion. The incomprehensibility of his contradictory behavior in the two episodes is because many people integrate gods and religions into one. As a saint of God, what he delivers is God's answer to all people's free will and behavior. As a religious leader, what he conveyed was the restrictions imposed on believers by political authority. Believers' obedience to religion for a long time has prevented them from getting rid of the label of "original sin" and the shackles of strict dogma-no matter what kind of sermon, they can't laugh. They doubt the free will that violates the fundamental principles; they fear the absolute strictness of the fundamental principles. In the play, it is precisely by expressing the pope's contradictory identity that he complains to the religion. It is religion that makes people fear God. Violating the dogma will cause God’s anger and separate people from God. They cannot believe that they can get rid of this intermediary and come into contact with God. They cannot accept God's gifts without burden. A feeling of pure happiness.
"Everyone understands God in his own way and creates God. For some people, God is a man. For some people, God is a woman. For some people, God is both. For some people, God is neither. For some people, God is pure energy. For some people, God is the ultimate feeling, which you call love. God is the wind that blows your hair. God is the sun that warms your hair. God is the beginning of your initial thoughts. , God is the end of your last thought." "God exists everywhere, so God does not exist anywhere."
Contradiction 2: The pope does not believe in God and prays firmly.
We think that God has a concrete image, externalized as a certain image, especially for non-believers who have a little knowledge of theology. The mystery of God makes people always doubt its existence and constantly search for its existence.
The Pope’s change from the first episode to the last episode is the transformation of a child into an adult, and the understanding of the believer from Lost to Found, which explores the existence of God. Because of the lack of love as a child, he evaded the yearning for love but never forgets it. Because he couldn't find his parents and didn't get God's help, he often told the priest that he didn't believe in God, and because he loved himself too much, his conscience didn't make him feel guilty. But the next day he would still confess his arrogance to God, and still pray hard when he needs God. Here he is still searching for God, but in an intermittent process. Remember when you need it, or forget it. He did not realize and acknowledge the omnipresence of God, and was with him at this moment. In his fifth episode, the pope told the fan girl about God and the "absence" of God, which made him extremely firm. What is embodied here is the absolute existence of God. His incomparable self and his good feelings are precisely because of his strongest feelings for God. At this time, he is so radiant and makes you feel that he is God. And when he grew up and understood that the pursuit is a continuous process, even something that needs to be done throughout his life, he let go, he felt God, God is his most original feeling-God is peace, peace is God , Is the summer that I spent with my parents in the canyon when I was eight years old; God is love, love is God, is the first love on the beach in California; God smiles, is the smile on the face of every believer. At this time he found the god-returning to his origin, Venice.
