The first time I saw the pirated disc of this movie from a street vendor, I was attracted by the face on the cover, which was pale and distressing against the black gown. The hair is a bit messy, but it stands upright like a needle; the big black eyes are sad enough to make people cry, but they are not all sad, they also reveal a focus and sincerity that can't be concealed. Intuition tells me that this will not be an ordinary illness. From the protagonist’s first deep and long monologue-"I don't think I'm doing anything wrong in writing down daily, with absolute frankness, After he fainted, Seraphita who led the light for him, the unknown woman who brought coffee, especially the heartfelt words of his friend’s girlfriend when he was lying on the sickbed (I don't want him to marry me, because I don't want to be in the way), it must have made him feel the possibility of a revival of faith, because where there is love, God will not be absent; "God is not the master of love, but love itself" (God is not the master of love. God is love.) Those who have faith are blessed. No matter how much torment and misfortune he has suffered, he will not complain about the injustice of fate and deny his beliefs. His heart will be filled with a kind of spiritual abundance. "All is grace", this is the pastor's last words, expressing the posture of all believers: humility and gratitude.
