Believers & non-believers

Write a film review for the first time, serious spoilers, be cautious.
————————————————————————————————

IQiyi searched for films, just to see, the survivors, first looked at posters and films The name, I thought it would be a catastrophe film like "2014" and "The Day After Day", or a terrifying horror type of bad street.
At the beginning of the movie, the male protagonist held up the DV and shook the camera to show a beautiful wedding scene. I thought to myself, OMG, if you want to shake the whole scene like "The Catacombs of Paris", I have to get a bag to prepare [spit], It's not bad. As the plot enters, humans die suddenly, earthquakes, hail, heavy rain, well, here I am going to fill up the second half of the plot in my brain, like "2014", how to survive in the gradual worse environment. , Competing for food, maybe there is also a discussion of the environment, or "isolation" such as the discussion of human nature. As soon as the screen turned, a strange howling sound came, and then the second bride and girl (or the third girl?) were taken away, and then they were thrown off. Five people rushed towards the church. Good guys, this is the rhythm of the beginning of "The Mist" ? No!
The director of the film will never stop here. From the church in the mouth of the bride's parents in the elevator, he went to the library to frantically search for the Bible, to hide in the church, the male protagonist meets the priest, the whole director's theme is estimated to have just begun. Starting with the "believers" and "non-believers" brought out by the priest, all the content after that has begun to be screened. What should be screened? Who is a believer. Or, it can be said to be a transformation.
The people who fell in the beginning of the film, they, according to the meaning of the picture, are true believers, that is, followers of God during their lives, so they take a step forward without suffering. The next step is to take away those who have begun to become believers from among the unbelievers: brides, grooms, bridesmaids, priests, nurses, and best men. Of course someone will ask me, doesn’t the groom hate God? How could he be considered a believer? Okay, first of all he died, and secondly, the last thing he said was that his initial unbelief collapsed after the bride's death. He hated and scolded God, which were actually the prerequisites for faith.
Finally, when the male protagonist came to the realization that "belief is their goal", here, the male protagonist actually thinks that I don’t confirm whether there is a God, but I believe that there is an existence like "God" because of whether you Find you with faith, and give you results, and the result is "death." At this point, the male protagonist is actually very dangerous, because he has already agreed with this matter, only to substitute the role of "God", and witnessing the strange, miserable and terrifying death of his friend, halfway through the transformation of the personality beauty is completed [Decision After believing in God], he finally took this role and completed the initial stage of his belief, believe, so he could not escape death.
I think the male protagonist in the whole film about God belongs to the main line: unbelief, hearing the bride’s explanation, doubting, dialogue with the priest, loosening, friends dying one after another, a little believing in this matter, after watching the girl The video fully agrees with the statement of the incident, the girl who witnessed the death of a friend, leaves, and takes over into God, believes.
The Bible says: If you believe in your heart, you can be saved by confessing it with your mouth. I'm not sure if this sentence is said in the Bible (I haven't read the Bible myself), but I think it can explain this film well.
At this point, I actually don’t know how to evaluate it, because it should also belong to a religious film, and I don’t know much about religion.
Now that I think about it, there seem to be many things that can't be justified. For example, people who died in natural disasters such as earthquakes and hail, what are they? For example, the face that caught the bride in the DV is said to be a falling angel. According to my little understanding of religion, the falling angel was punished from heaven and fell into hell, so the people they caught went there. To hell? Does that seem to contradict God's statement? Or does it mean that people who died without pain go to heaven at first, and then people who have gone through different degrees of fear, fear, and suffering, go to hell? There is also the final scene where countless unknown species with tentacles descend from the air. Are they a product of hell?
Or to say that it actually describes, believe, die without pain, heaven; not believe, let you go through hardships, after you believe, I’m sorry, because of your initial unbelief, the door to heaven is closed, so you can still only go To hell, right?

Some people who feel disagreement are welcome to discuss, after all, the first time I press the key to write, I still don't understand religious topics.
