At the end of the film is the classic chanting of the whole film, which is affectionate and sincere, and moves people's hearts. De Lauris, who has experienced hardships, seems to have suddenly understood the true meaning of life, singing with dedication and calmness. The ending song "I will follow him" is exactly what DeLauris sang at the bar at the beginning of the film, and the two times before and after the song form a sharp contrast. When singing this song in the bar, DeLauris was irritable and full of complaints. At that time, her relationship with her boyfriend was full of hurt and mistrust. She questioned life, and she was also trapped in the invisible prison of life. middle.
When she has been complaining about her life and her boyfriend, she is actually bound by her own complaints. When she is really locked in a monastery and cannot release her anger and dissatisfaction, her heart can be freed instead.
She used to think that complaining, being angry, and having fun were the means to happiness, until one day she was forced to give up these means - of course, the process of giving up made her very painful, and she learned to devote herself to life.
The change of DeLauris is also related to the spiritual qualities of the nuns. The benevolent nuns, who had never once despised or hated DeLauris, trusted DeLauris as much as they believed in God. This kind of trust has no doubts and brings a great sense of security.
The pain of Delauris is that there is no trust between her boyfriend and her, and he was betrayed by Delauris. In the eyes of the nuns, DeLauris is seen as "a gift from God".
DeLauris threw herself into the choir and felt praised and needed from the eyes of the people around her, which allowed her to completely get out of her anxiety and gain deep satisfaction - her own existence and talent were revealed.
This satisfaction is enough to support her choosing to help the choir to sing to the Pope even when her life is in danger. This kind of dedication does not come from a moral self-requirement, it belongs to human nature and is inspired by love and trust. An emotional response to the person who chooses to express the happiness in his heart in a way of giving. DeLauris's relationship with the Dean is equally meaningful. The bar and the monastery were originally two extremes of indulgence and restraint. They both felt unacceptable just by looking at each other. Getting along together was a great challenge to their beliefs. After the collapse, both of them saw their own shortcomings with the help of each other. The dean no longer holds a high position by abiding by the precepts. She finds that the energetic Delauris brings such a rich life to the people around her, and after comparing the two lives, Delauris finds that the real satisfaction does not come from indulgence, but from indulgence. Love and commitment to life. This investment not only makes a person more closely connected to the objective world, but also makes him return to his own mind and return to the original order of the mind.
This kind of mental journey has completely changed Delauris' attitude towards life. Although she still has not been able to marry her boyfriend, this is no longer a problem for her, because she is no longer following a certain man, but the inner divinity.
There is a subtle change in the lyrics of the ending song, which expresses the difference between the two to those who are interested.
The love between men and women has similarities with devout beliefs. Enthusiasm and sincerity will never become a blasphemy to the gods. We also need to learn to trust and be grateful in the face of our lover.
I have heard people say that all love songs can be seen as a confession to God, or that love is inherently sacred.
