Compared with most religious films full of emotional rendering, this film is cold, realistic, and slow-paced, and discusses the problems of belief that people encounter in real and ordinary life.
The theme chosen for this film is familiar to the faithful, and of course non-believers will see different content. Since ancient times, in the process of understanding faith, human beings have been constantly pursuing miracles, or miracles. Why do you believe if you don’t see it? But the truth is that people are not only short-sighted, but also worldly, ignorant, and more likely to doubt than to believe. Just like the two middle-aged women represented in the film, their first reaction after seeing the video of the miracle was suspicion. Even if they saw the miracle with their own eyes, after the wheelchair woman walked, they were relieved when she finally fell down. Where in the world are there miracles? To believe in miracles is to test the Creator, not to mention the weakness of man, the blindness before miracles. It is difficult for us to believe that it is because of the judgment brought by powerful life experience, which is why the biggest enemy in faith is always ourselves. Why did he heal this man without faith? Why are good people dying? God’s creation and arrangement are mysteries that are unknowable to man. The only way for us to follow him is to cast aside the judgments of man and seek to meet with him thoroughly and humbly, because it is a false proposition for a creature to speculate on the creator.
