In other words, I thought Kate was like an Indian before, but after wearing a saree, it basically is.
It is not so much about discussing xie (jiao) and salvation, as it is about internally constructing the boundary of interference with the other. The most valuable thing about Ruth is that she has realized that her world is fake, and she has obtained "real peace" in remote India: it is, it is x3. When there is something transcendent that gives a firm recognition to people in chaos, the fragile person (not to mention that she has been defeated by life) tends to follow and keep it. The arrogant person (PJ) tried to change her, but never thought that he himself was not invincible, full of irony.
And I don't think this is a cult film, but it is full of feminist prophecies. The conflict between Ruth and Pj is not between the ordinary worldview and the cult, but between men and women. The outdated judgments of men make him unable to match strong-willed women mentally and physically. "Smoke" itself is a floating image. When a child enters a cult, the parents (actually only the mother) go crazy. It can be said that holy smoke is a portrayal of the lack of spirituality of the middle class.
Some people say that because they did not go deep into the story of India (such as how Ruth got into mind control), the background is a bit abrupt or the narrative is barren, but I think the more abrupt thing is that feminists cannot be trying When he got rid of patriarchy, he turned to men for help.
