missionary bravery

As a follower of scientific truth, I watched this film with a very rational vision. The plot of the film is simple, and the time is too long, which affects the perception. Fortunately, the director set up the scene skillfully, and some scenery is still very pleasing to the eye. The belief in the protagonist is too long to elaborate, and it is a bit annoying for viewers who are not members of the sect. I can only sigh why missionaries are so crazy, driven by profit, cultural invasion, mind control, donations, baptisms, chanting, and blessings all without money. It can even subvert the political economy of other countries and change the day. The missionaries who have been attracted to follow one after another and are brave enough to go forward are also recorded in the annals of history, and their names are immortal.

    Lao Ma's workmanship, as always, is undoubtedly a good film, and must be praised in anger. Only for audiences with no religious background: this kind of narrative is a typical lofty condescension: my belief is the truth of the world, and I want to spread it to you. Your civilization is backward, so you believe in ignorance and ignorance. If the rotten soil cannot grow out of your beliefs, then Shintoism and Buddhism deserve to be inferior to you?

    The plot is clearer than the 71 version, the theme is more distinct, and even a bit too straightforward. Photography keenly captured the fog and rain in the island nation. The Japanese supporting roles are star-studded, and the filmmakers are literally all out, just to get a corner in the old Martin's play. Father Ferreira played by Nissen is not as good as Tetsuro Tanba. Although Ogata is brilliant, it is too pretentious. Komatsu Nana and my sister Sesame are incomparable.
