Self-critically watched this movie as a Catholic. Poland is a traditionally Catholic country, and has not lost faith even under the iron curtain of the Soviet Union, but only from some movies in recent years, the reality is not optimistic, religion is ossifying and degrading, the clergy is lacking and losing confidence, and young people are suffering. The erosion of free thought and so on. When the male protagonist enters and leaves the juvenile detention center, he is just a gangster. Occasionally, he is mixed with a fake priest. This is also the performance of the movie (in fact, the Catholic Church is very strict, unless there is a war, this will not happen, because there is a parish management system and no identity. It is impossible for a certified foreign priest to perform the sacrament in the church), cramming, and barely able to preside over the mass ceremony through mobile phone searches. This shows that the technical work of a priest is not difficult after learning, but the most important job of a priest is pastoral care. In the face of the hypocritical and rigid old church members in the parish, it is no wonder that the old priest was alcoholic and wanted to escape. The arrival of the false priest really injected a new breath, such as looking at people without prejudice and communicating with young people, but he still couldn’t help it. Temptation (it's a big sin for a young woman to seduce a priest, maybe she felt that the boy was not a priest), and had sex with a girl, all the characters here failed to do their part. The film also uses false priests to investigate a car accident that killed seven people and the opening of the mayor's new factory. These events focus on the beliefs of various people in the town. Through several sermons in rallies, people are inspired to repent of their sins. and redemption. Of course, paper can't keep the fire. In the end, the fake priest chose to take off the priest's robe in public, ended this self-redemption, returned to the juvenile detention center, and broke away from the divine guidance, so he was confused again. The film is full of sadness and disappointment. There is a little consolation that the old priest has returned, and the church members have accepted the widow, but the road to redemption is still very long.
