A date table written 50 years ago verifies the disasters that have occurred in the past 50 years, and at the same time allows the hero to witness the disasters with his own eyes, and there is a mysterious whisper running through it, a group of ghostly creatures. , always entangled the father and son duo. These really made the audience hold their breath, sweating for the fate of the male protagonist and his son.
The religious color of this film can be said to be extremely strong, but it is not simply to promote religion, but instead reflects a collision between religion and science. The whole film is based on Jesus coming to the world, so that the destroyed people can be reborn as the main line, with traction, to promote the male protagonist to constantly discover and crack, and at the same time find new life when the end comes. The male protagonist in the film is an astrophysicist, so he should be a supporter of materialism, and it is precisely because of this that he has a bad relationship with his father, who is a priest. But after the accidental death of his wife, he began to feel that things didn't happen completely by regularity, and there were some unexplained "accidents". It was this state of shaken belief at that time that gave him the opportunity to discover the mystery of the prophecy date table.
Westerners have added their religion to the movie without modification. Such as the design of Noah's Ark in "2012", and the same is true for "The Prophet". Although the savior who appeared at the last moment was not God, the whole context was carried out according to the will of the Bible. Among them, the two little protagonists who were finally rescued were like re-created Adam and Eve. After they were taken away by aliens, they were placed on another brand-new planet, the new Garden of Eden, so there was a film. In the end, the two of them ran to the tree with a smile full of hope. But the very interesting point in the film is that the male protagonist has experienced many difficulties and found the final road to rebirth, but he is rejected from the door, and the rescued becomes the son of the male protagonist who can hear mysterious whispers The heroine's daughter. The male protagonist is the representative of science, but because he is not called, he cannot be saved. This is also the concrete manifestation of the collision between religion and science. The comedic turn of the final scene is sure to surprise the audience, with those mysterious whispers and erratic creatures not of any supernatural power, but of alien calling. This makes the whole film inevitably become cliché, and the aftertaste pales a lot. But the collision of religion and science is also reflected in this. The revelation of God and the calling of aliens, religion and science are so intertwined and spliced together. There is no almighty God and no complete science.
The film is handled in this way, mainly due to the current limitations of human capabilities. Humanity has not been able to resist the kind of devastating disaster created in the film. It is not like "2012". Although God did not come directly, the Noah's Ark built by people is enough to resist the disaster of the earth itself. And "The Prophet" is to directly let the aliens come to save mankind. When human beings cannot solve the desperate situation they are facing, it is also a solution to push everything to aliens. After all, no one dares to deny that aliens will not exist like Superman and Spider-Man.
