See the world like a child

Religion is a cultural phenomenon that appears in the development of human society to a certain historical stage, and belongs to the special ideology of society.
Belief refers to a certain proposition, doctrine, religion or someone, belief and respect, and take it as one's own code of conduct. (The above are all from Baidu Encyclopedia)

"My God" is also translated as "Alien Drunken PK Earth God", I personally think the name of the former is more interesting. An alien who wanted to study the earth landed in India, but was robbed of the spacecraft recall device, so he started a search journey on the unfamiliar earth.

The whole film allows an alien to see all the faces of the world from an onlooker's perspective, commenting on most of the world's religious beliefs, and allowing the audience to discover together that the things they are accustomed to are so ridiculous that they cannot stand logical scrutiny. . PK came to the earth naked like a newborn baby, curiously learned from the world like a child, asked countless questions that adults could not answer like a child, challenged authority and exposed hypocrisy like a youth, and used kindness like an adult. The lies set love free. PK is like every person around us, every one of us, and slowly changes with our own growth, and when we look back, it is moving.

We who used to be children also question everything in the world like PK. Slowly, as we grow up, we lose our curiosity about the world, our ability to question everything, and our passion for finding real answers. So, the PK in my heart left.

At the beginning, the director let Muslims and Hindus fall in love and then separated, and then elaborated the differences between different religions through PK's earth adventure. In fact, no matter what kind of gods, their original intention is to lead people to be kind and to stimulate people to progress, but because later generations have forgotten the teaching itself, they are clinging to the code of conduct. what to write. PK has attended religious ceremonies of all denominations, of all kinds, and he has done it with great devotion, yet still achieving nothing, making the audience wonder whether the necessity of ritual is really that important, and whether it is the only way to show that we are following God.

In fact, there is no problem with religious belief itself. PK finally said on the live TV: when he was most desperate and helpless, having faith gave him an important motivation to survive. What the film mocks are those believers who devote themselves devoutly without thinking, forget the true God in their hearts, and bow down to the statue all day long; those who deceive the people, kidnap money, hostile each other and even deprive others of their lives under the guise of faith. Those who have created countless misfortunes in the name of faith, separated those who loved each other, and let those who loved each other kill each other. How terrible is the faith in the mouth of people who do not respect others and do not respect life.

At the end of the film, the heroine and her boyfriend of different religions reunited with the help of many people, only to find that the reason for the breakup was just a ridiculous misunderstanding. But what brought them back together was the belief in love in the hearts of everyone. The most important thing PK learned on earth and insisted on bringing back to his planet is love.

PK quotes

  • Jagat Janani: What is your name?

    P.K.: I don't have any name. But i don't know why people called me PK... Pk...

  • P.K.: Which god should I believe? You all say that, it's only one god. I say, no... there are two gods. One is the one who created us all. The other one is the one created by people like you. We know nothing about the god who made us all. But the god people like you made is exactly like you... liar, pretend to act, giving false promises, meeting rich people sooner, letting the poor neglected, happy when get praised... People are afraid to even say a word. My right number is very simple, the God who created us all, put faith in Him. And the god like you created, the duplicate god, destroy it.
