A religious confession-to be alive

Not so exciting, the director tried to talk about the motives of crimes and the suffering of believers in crimes through a religious perspective, and tried to increase the visibility of the story through suspenseful plots. Unfortunately, he did a lot, but none of them were good enough. Perhaps the director was not serious about telling the story at the beginning, but was discussing the religion that puzzled him. The old priest, because he heard the criminal’s prayer, he thought he was guilty and killed him. What? A clergyman is just a believer, or a guide, and he has no right to act on behalf of God. This action violated his beliefs and put him in a basement full of idols. Would such a devout believer let the rotting flesh defile the idols? It only means that he has given up his faith. This is the biggest reminder of the film. The aunt's criminal motive was also very strange. There was only one sentence to challenge God. Perhaps they desperately prayed to God when their child got cancer, but in the end their child died. So they stopped believing in God and began to declare war on God by catching children.

No offense, I don't like her religion very much. That is, if my suffering does not receive your response, I will destroy the belief of others in you, and I will create the same suffering on others. How selfish!

When the father was violent to the boy, his heart was full of suffering and he kept praying for God's forgiveness. Seeing the child's whistle, I prayed to God to bless the child. Parents of boys who were abused are also praying for God to bless their children. Who should God listen to? Can God hear it? The violent father said to the boy that you would be punished by God. Who was punished? Who is the one to be punished? !

In the "Seven Deadly Sins", the offender used flogging torture to ask God for forgiveness. We can always see some people knowing that they are committing a crime, and in order to alleviate the sin of sin, they can reach self-reconciliation through God's forgiveness. Sorry, there will never be a solution, unless you have no sense of guilt when you commit a crime.

People who have not shown religious beliefs, such as the policeman and another family who lost their children, are more able to deal with things calmly, without so many complicated emotions, sympathetic and guilty. It feels more real when they are alive.

Or this is what the director wants to convey-to be alive.

If it is the level of my understanding, in the United States, which believes in Christianity, I am willing to give the author 9 points, and if it is a suspenseful crime, I only give 7.5 points.

    The opportunity to resolve the incident was too accidental, and can only be attributed to the role of the protagonist's halo. Uncle Hugh was too clean from start to finish, clean in the rain, clean in drunkenness, clean in beatings, so his performance is not contagious...but Gyllenhaal should have oily hair and fat belly. , All roles are convincing. The theme of the movie was originally to trigger moral controversy through Uncle Hugh's actions, but the overly mild ending weakened this controversy.

    The story is not complicated, but the character design is very good, the rhythm is very steady, and it is very deliberate. Everyone is a prisoner of his own obsession, and the theme has a high level, which is different from the general crime film. The final flip is too strange and inconsistent with the style of the whole film. Jack Gyllenhaal acted very vividly, including the detailed design of facial twitches. Paul Dano is too miserable here.
