Adieu-A Dieu

One year later, the shock of watching "Man and God" is even hotter than the hot computer keyboard at the moment. Highlight three scenes. One: The roar of the helicopter was very harsh when the monks were studying in the day class. The monks were panicked at first, but under the leadership of the president, everyone sang the Gregorian chants hand in hand, and the singing was difficult. The land competed with the noise of the helicopter. Second, Christophe followed the example of Jesus Mountain Garden and prayed. When he didn’t know whether to stay, President Christian came to comfort him. He asked the President, “Why are we martyred? For God? Or for the sake of God? To be a hero?" Christian replied: It is a cliché again-"Because love can tolerate everything"; Third, the Last Supper, when the old doctor Luc played "Swan Lake" with trembling hands, at the beginning, all People are surprised, but when the camera moves closer to each face, you can see that they are actually trying to calm down. It is clear at this time that many things are destined to happen. It is uncomfortable to imitate Jesus and suffer, but Paul once said, "We will not all die, but we will all change."

It can be completely questioned that the content of the film depicting the monks changing their attitudes is too thin. There are only a few scenes of prayers. However, what can this group of people do besides praying when facing suffering? The title of Christian's final letter is "A-dieu". The French word "adieu" which means "Farewell" is taken apart, and it becomes "A-Dieu" - "To God" what a wonderful explanation? "Because you are God, darkness is in your eyes, and it is also light." Only when a grain of wheat falls to the ground can it bear grains.

Of Gods and Men quotes

  • Christian: [Voice-over] Should it ever befall me, and it could happen today, to be a victim of the terrorism swallowing up all foreigners here, I would like my community, my church, my family, to remember that my life was given to God and to this country. That the Unique Master of all life was no stranger to this brutal departure. And that my death is the same as so many other violent ones, consigned to the apathy of oblivion. I've lived enough to know, I am complicit in the evil that, alas, prevails over the world and the evil that will smite me blindly. I could never desire such a death. I could never feel gladdened that these people I love be accused randomly of my murder. I know the contempt felt for people here, indiscriminately. And I know how Islam is distorted by certain Islamism. This country, and Islam, for me are something different. They're a body and a soul. My death, of course, will quickly vindicate those who call me naïve or idealistic, but they must know that I will be freed of a burning curiosity and, God willing, will immerse my gaze in the Father's and contemplate with him his children of Islam as he sees them. This thank you which encompasses my entire life includes you, of course, friends of yesterday and today, and you too, friend of the last minute, who knew not what you were doing. Yes, to you as well I address this thank you and this farewell which you envisaged. May we meet again, happy thieves in Paradise, if it pleases God the Father of us both. Amen. Insha'Allah.

  • Christian: We are martyrs out of love, out of fidelity. If death overtake us, despite ourselves, because up to the end, up to the end we'll try to avoid it. Our mission here is to be brothers to all. Remember that love is eternal hope. Love endures everything.
