Is religion really that important?

This is a good movie that makes people cry.

What surprised me was that there were so many derogatory comments on the film in the comment area, mainly for the following reasons:

1. Think that this is a purely religious missionary brainwashing film, trying to trick the audience into education and safety through miracles.

I want to say that if you only feel disgust and discomfort after watching the entire movie, perhaps brainwashing is not bad for you. You can not believe in religion or have no religious beliefs, these are your free choices. But, being born as a human being, don't you even abandon truth, goodness, and beauty? Does it mean that even in times of difficulty, the care between family members and between people hates it? Then I'm so sorry, I was born a human being.

2. I think this is a boring and bad movie that is deliberately sensational, clumsy, has a bland plot, and wins on sympathy.

Yes, this is a movie with a single plot, in which there is only a simple story, a group of people playing ordinary roles. There is no Star Trek full of excitement and adventure, no room for inception, and there is no game around the power of money like eavesdropping on evil human nature. But are you blind or heart blind? There are all the passwords to open an ordinary happy life! The family is healthy and happy, and people help and love each other. You can learn from the optimism and firmness of a girl’s father, the perseverance of a girl’s mother, the strangers who lend a helping hand, and the innocence and kindness of a little girl. Even if you don't want to learn, you can at least temporarily wash your muddy soul with tears? How can so many beautiful and simple things make people look boring? In the barren land, no amount of rain and dew will be swallowed. It is the soul that is drying up and boring, not the ordinary world.

3. Those who are skeptical of miracles feel that the miracles in this movie will never happen to themselves.

Everything, faith, not necessarily there. Don’t believe it, it’s not necessarily nothing.

Why do we call things that have happened miracles? Because according to our cognitive experience, the probability of those things happening is almost zero.

"Almost" does not mean that there is no. In other words, a miracle is a small probability event.

"Love" does not necessarily create miracles, making small probability events inevitable. This is true whether it is the love of parents, the love of lovers, and the love of friends. Because our lives and lives are confined by time and space to a small period of time, we feel that some things are out of reach of dreams. But if the length of life is stretched, and the local area of ​​life is expanded, all the things that you think are impossible to happen are things that are destined to happen in a certain space on a certain year, a certain month, and a certain day, an inevitable event in accident. This is the so-called causal reincarnation. It is estimated that some people will say that they don't believe in cause and effect at all, just like they don't believe that there are ghosts in this world.

Since love can change nothing in a short time and within a limited space, let alone create miracles. Then why continue to love, love to struggle, struggle to despair? Since karma does not exist at all, and man has no soul, why not indulge and degenerate and please yourself?

There are many things that cannot be explained, cannot be argued, and there are no answers, and there are many choices. No matter which religious belief, it contains a good way to save the soul. It is something that we may have when we are children, but some people have lost afterwards: innocence, kindness, and beauty.

I like fairy tales. I never like the ending of the prince and princess living happily together. It is possible that they are not happy. I just like the moments of life, truth, goodness, and beauty in it. Even if there is only a moment, it does not mean it is false. Countless time nodes are connected in series to form the present, the past and the future.
