So you are such a god

At the beginning of the movie, I think it seems to be another movie about the inner salvation of parents after losing their children, similar to "Attached Beauty". Gradually, however, I got off the track and became illusory. All kinds of gods and gods gathered together. They were so good and tempted, and they worked hard. In the end, the male protagonist repented and understood how difficult the work of God Lao Tzu was, and finally forgived the alcoholism and domestic violence. Father, forgive the murderer who brutally killed his little daughter. Oh, God is with you, The End.

I’m an atheist, but I don’t exclude other people’s religious beliefs. As long as you don’t interfere with me, don’t try to brainwash me, you believe in Buddhism, Jesus, Mohammed, and others that you think are worthy of trust. Whatever However, the fact is that certain "pious" religious believers are no different from those who organize pyramid schemes. Pious and extreme are sometimes just the front line, and religion and cult are sometimes difficult to distinguish.

Recently, my wife gave me a little prince, and the family was very happy, but the process was really a bit tormenting. My wife's amniotic fluid has been broken for more than 50 hours without opening the uterus. My family and I are waiting outside the delivery room with anxiety. At this time, a middle-aged woman came to ask us about our situation. This is also a common occurrence, so we all told it and expressed our unhappiness. The woman's eyes suddenly lighted up and said, "You should pray now." I was very annoyed, so I replied, "What's the use of praying?" The woman's face changed drastically, and she said angrily: "Pray for something. What's the use? It's useless if you don't pray!" Then I babbled and sang the "sacred song" that I don't know, sang and shouted at us, "Come on, let's believe in Jesus together and pray together!" Pray? I think either you are caught in the door, cursing in your heart, or you walk away silently, it is better to stay away from this kind of lunatic. In the end, everything went well for the wife's C-section, and the mother and child were safe.

Who judges and who is a question posed in the film, and then the goddess of wisdom gives the answer easily. It is wrong for you to judge others, because you are not from the perspective of God, you will make mistakes, and only God can judge everything. But how absurd the truth is! The God in the film tells us that we should forgive men who are drunk and beat their wives and children. When facing a perverted killer who kills your children, you can't be angry, you can only say forgiveness over and over again. Haha, how is this God? This is clearly appeasement adopted by the cowardly people. If you face evil without making any noise, you will just give in, and blindly cover your ears and say that you can be forgiven. Justice cannot be done in this world, and the evil will be forgiven. Shrouded the earth. Forgiveness and Buddhism's "when is the time to repay the injustice" has a similar meaning. It is good to let go only after forgiving, and to get out of the shackles of the soul. But the question is whether the person who committed the crime is worthy of forgiveness. If Evil is inevitable, accept or resist? If destiny is arranged by God, is it to follow the current, or to go upstream? This is full of human choices, not the only answer that God tells.

Some people may say that this was originally a religious movie, so don't watch it if you don't like it. Then I feel that I have been blatantly deceived. First of all, the title is really hard to imagine that it will be such a religious religious film. Secondly, since it is a religious film, shouldn’t I wash my brain? It's counterproductive. Summary: This is a terrible religious movie.

Regardless of success or failure, people should control their own destiny and judge by their own right and wrong, even if they make mistakes. Because even if it is God, it can't make the decision for you. You are a unique individual in this world, and you have the right to determine your own destiny. Finally, I suddenly remembered Qi Tongwei's last cry in "The Name of the People": "No one can judge me, only myself can judge me, God of TM!"
