God is not dead

I got a glimpse of God's shadow in this movie.
As a Chinese in the 21st century, I do not believe in God in the religious sense, but believe in an "unknown God". Even if I believed, I never really got a glimpse of God. Feel his operation, but never feel his power.
Polanski believes that God is dead, which is obvious, and the heroine finally succumbs to Satan. Satan worshippers shout "Satan saves the forsaken of God", but all I see is the wickedness and filth in them. Killing innocent people, using women as tools, these people are just mice in the stinky ditch.
Again, the real God is not a tool used to rule people in the Middle Ages, not a "God" in the religious sense. Some people are willing to fall but hope that God will save them, and their life will not shake their faith by the way. Cowardly people will not be saved by anyone. God also does not solve all human problems. He can manifest in the world only the power of Mingming.



Satan worshipers have little resentment, powerless and ridiculous. A person who never looks to himself, but turns to God when he is in pain, God is silent, he becomes a believer of Satan.

God is not the father of man, he does not have such an intimate relationship with man. People should not love God but love themselves and keep a distance from God.


What the heroine experienced was that "God is dead". Her husband and friends all betrayed her, and her faith collapsed. Like every nihilist has ever experienced.
Nietzsche later moved into nihilism, but he also believed in an "unknown God". Perhaps we should reflect on whether people have too much hope for God? Shouldn't it be less emotional?

Rosemary's Baby quotes

  • Terry Gionoffrio: The Castevets are the most wonderful people in the world. Bar none. You know, they picked me up off the sidewalk - literally.

    Rosemary Woodhouse: You were sick?

    Terry Gionoffrio: I was starving and on dope and doing a lot of other things. They're childless, though. I'm like the daughter they never had. At first, I thought they wanted me for some kind of sex thing; but, they turned out to be like real grandparents.

  • Guy Woodhouse: If we get friendly with an old couple like that, we'll never get rid of them.
