seek rescue

Before I saw it, I had doubts in my heart: Satan only appears in the dark night, how can he be associated with the sun? Pastor Donisan devotes himself to spiritual practice and believes in asceticism. In order to keep his spirit pure and his body free from temptation, he whipped himself fiercely, letting the pain of the body purify the soul. The realm of God's call.
The heroine, Mushait, is a daring and beautiful teenage girl who, after a hopeless affair with a fallen noble, shoots him intentionally or unintentionally (a selfish man!), and mingles with the MPs with a vengeance (another hypocrisy). Cowardly man, she looked at him defiantly "do you love me?", he hesitated "the price is too high, you embarrassed me"), there is no sincere love here. So Satan's possession is also reasonable, and her heart is full of holes.
Blindly walking through the dark night was Donisan's way of seeking spiritual light. He didn't want to meet Satan who looked like an ordinary person and was kissed by him. Since then, he was under a spell, and his life was controlled by this evil soul, his conscience and his conscience. Wrestling with evil, he told the truth to Mushayt (did they know each other, from their conversation, it seems that they knew each other, perhaps Mushayt had tempted him, this conversation had the flavor of allegory and prophecy, "How could it be? Do you know? Did I say it in a dream?"), Mushaette's process from disbelief to belief to suicide is an inevitable process. She was already desperate, and Donisan could see through her thoughts deeply. No fun anymore. Women who are too obsessed with love are dangerous, their extreme emotions will either melt you or burn you to death!
Donisan went to the ascetic home, and the believers who respected him still asked him to save the paralyzed child. He knew that Satan was testing his strength again. He pleaded, even at the expense of his own soul and body, because he understood that he was fighting against Satan on behalf of God on behalf of countless innocent souls. The child was alive, but he was as powerless as if he had been cramped. When he sat in the confession room again and listened to the woman's "I am guilty, I have many sins", his last pillar finally collapsed. There was just a ray of sunshine on his face (which finally matched the title of the film), and I seemed to see his soul curling up to the heavens, he finally defeated Satan, and finally he could no longer see such pain in the world. Annoyed, and finally got rid of his weak and helpless heart, his pain and purgatory-like arrows can finally be subsided, although he paid for his own life, and this may be the ending he wanted, just think of that The old priest said, "Many priests have Satan." No matter how much they practice, they can't get rid of the lazy, selfish and weak side of human beings. To be as invincible as God can only be sacrificed to the temptations of the human world.
The image of Satan in the play, I think, is more of an image symbol, because in the depths of everyone's heart, there is a Satan who is about to move in black lurking. We must strengthen ourselves and resist the temptation in the dark night. Donisan has consecrated himself perfectly to God, where do we go from here? ? ?

Under the Sun of Satan quotes

  • Donissan: God is mocking me.

  • [first lines]

    Donissan: With you, everything looks easy. Alone, I'm useless. I'm like the zero, only useful next to other numbers. Priests are so miserable. They waste their lives seeing God being ignored. People make jokes on us. We're like those walls where people write obscenities.

    Menou-Segrais: You're tired.

    Donissan: Tired? I'm not tired. Tired is a bad thought.

    Menou-Segrais: Suspend your visits.

    Donissan: Those visits do more harm than good. In the beginning, I didn't know evil. I learned it from the mouths of the sinners.

    Menou-Segrais: No one knows better than a priest about the terrible monotony of sin.

    Donissan: I can't speak to them. I can't only make absolutions and feel sorry.

    Menou-Segrais: If one absolution in thirty was worthy, the world would be brief.
