Only the ununderstood, the unexplained: Deciphering the ending puzzle of the movie "The Martyr" with logic - the suicide of the religious leader, the old lady

The film "The Martyr" was selected by Rolling Stone magazine as one of the "most shocking horror thrillers of the century so far". The rich connotations of power, desire, belief, religion, life, death, heaven or hell, horror, horror, cruelty, blood, and despair, are by no means a terrifying experience that words can describe. If you are not detached, it is not recommended for ordinary audiences to watch. This film has gone far beyond the restricted level and beyond the affordability of normal audiences. It should be a banned film! Puzzle: In almost all religions, suicide is a sin. The suicide of the religious leader shows that what Anna said cannot be the appearance of heaven. If it is heaven, then the suicide cannot enter; at the same time, it cannot be hell, because the suicide can only go to hell. Therefore, what Anna said could only make the old lady of the religious leader despair. As a religious believer, it is only possible to commit suicide if one is extremely desperate, which means giving up the pursuit of heaven, the fear of hell, and the belief in religion. This can also be done from the time when the religious leader took his own life, took off all the decorations, took off the religious hat on his head, and said, "Communication cannot be false," which says it all. For the ending of this film, only people who don't understand it, but the director and screenwriter have made it clear and clear, and they have shown the answer to the film without any deviation. There is no deviation and no suspense. This answer can only be the "endless doubts" shown by the old lady about the conflict between the two contradictions. The first thing that must be explained is the belief in religious belief and the belief in Anna, the martyr. If there is no contradiction, the old lady cannot commit suicide. Suicide can only be based on an irreconcilable contradiction between two convictions. Explain her renunciation of religion and the collapse of her faith. Paradoxical interpretation: If belief was right, then what the martyr saw should be right; if belief was wrong, then what the martyr saw should be wrong. And if the belief is correct and the conclusion is wrong, then there is no need for her to commit suicide at all, and it would be good to find another martyr to continue the experiment. Her failure to do so only shows her conviction and conviction that what the martyrs ultimately said about what the afterlife would look like was true. This was originally the correct logic, but the problem was that the old lady was convinced that what the martyrs said was true in her pursuit of the afterlife world, which is God's forbidden zone, which lasted for nearly a hundred years. Hence the inexplicable logical conflict that "believes that what the martyrs saw was correct, but denies the basis for this conclusion, which is religious belief." Because her actions illustrate what she felt about the martyrs. He said he believed in the afterlife world, that's why he committed suicide. She came to the wrong conclusion based on the wrong logic, but what she believed was the correctness of the conclusion and denied the basis for the conclusion. And this correct conclusion, there is only one answer, that is, "The world after death, there is nothing." This is a logic that cannot be justified at all, and a logic that will burn the brain, so she answered, the world after death. , still "endless doubts." Got it? The words of the martyrs must be premised on the belief that the martyrs are the martyrs, and the words of the martyrs deny the It can even be said that the old lady's lifelong pursuit and belief were destroyed in an instant. This can be confirmed from the tears in the eyes of the old lady when she finally spoke. Obviously a martyr, she should see heaven or hell, if she does not see heaven or hell, it means that what the religion has always said is wrong, then the existence of heaven and hell cannot be established. , then the faith collapsed in an instant. Her belief in martyrdom must stem from the fact that the process of becoming a martyr was strictly abiding by the teachings of the religion, so she collapsed. Life is no longer meaningful to her, and her beliefs are already insignificant. It is cruel and sinful to kill so many people. Her death proves that she has realized that she is worthy of death, and she will never go to heaven. And this kind of inability to go to heaven is also based on the fact that heaven does not exist at all. Finally, I stated my position, whether heaven exists or not, it is impossible to judge based on this film alone, that is just "endless doubts", but the position expressed by this film has been quite clear, that is, "No matter whether heaven or hell, there is no such thing as Existence." This article is not a discussion of religion or belief, but only the message that the film is trying to convey.

Martyrs quotes

  • Mademoiselle: Lucie was only a victim. Like all the others. It's so easy to create a victim, young lady, so easy. You lock someone in a dark room. They begin to suffer. You feed that suffering. Methodically, systematically and coldly. And make it last. Your subject goes through a number of states. After a while, their trauma; that small, easily opened crack, makes them see things that don't exist.

  • Mademoiselle: Martyrs are exceptional people. They survive pain, they survive total deprivation. They bear all the sins of the earth. They give themselves up. They transcend themselves... they are transfigured.
