GOD's mysterious ways

Today, when I watched Bean's "Keeping Silence", in fact, Bean himself was only a supporting role, and the protagonist was a kind old lady. Now I have discovered the advantage of not watching the introduction of the film beforehand. If you know the plot in advance, many films will look boring, because you are just confirming the text you have seen, and there is absolutely no freshness of entering the story from the unknown. . Today's film turned out to be a bean comedy, so it's good to relax on weekends. Of course, you can relax, but comedy is not.

The beautiful little woman killed her husband and adulterous woman, and took the big box with the corpse on the train as if nothing had happened. 43 years later, she returned to the arena, but she still solved problems in her own way, quietly killing the dissonances in her life, this time for her daughter and her family. Bean is her pastor and son-in-law, and Life becomes better under her "cutting the mess with a quick knife". First the neighbor's dog barking day and night, then the dry old man stubbornly looking for the dog, and then the golf coach who seduces his daughter.

I really admire her attitude of solving problems decisively, although the method seems to be a bit cruel, and just like the pastor's speech, GOD sometimes uses a mysterious way when solving problems, which is very understandable to ordinary people. In fact, isn't there some people or things in life that you don't think you deserve to exist in this world at all? If you have the same thoughts, then this film will definitely make you feel happy. Although I didn't agree with it very much, in the end, even the two workers who planned to clean up the pond for their family were disposed of under the pond by the daughter who inherited the mantle of her mother.
