"Truth is worse than lies"

The film introduction of "Philomena" reads "The tragic story is wrapped in a comedy appearance, making people feel moved by the interweaving of laughter and tears." After watching this film, I was in a very low mood. The narrative structure of the film is very delicate, the cast of Judi Dench plus Steve Coogan is very strong, and the themes explored in the film are very deep. The film discusses the issue of Western beliefs. Philomena and Martin have different attitudes towards events due to their different religious beliefs. Philomena believed in God, and she finally forgave the nun and the church. She still believed in God and found relief in her belief; while Martin had no faith, and in the process of pursuing the truth of the incident, he became more indignant and more indignant. Stick to the "truth". I'm leaning on Martin's side, even though Philomena thinks "How much does the truth mean to ordinary people? The truth is more ugly than the lie, will my life be full of ugliness because of the truth?", I still don't think so Because the ugliness of the truth is covered up with goodness, there is never any white lie.

    Fifty years apart, but when she saw her son's photo at the first glance, she knew he was gay. The blood that overcomes time is thicker than water. In fact, religion and belief are just passers-by who temporarily accompany each other on the same road. True beliefs will always break free from the shackles of religion and pursue an unsullied starry sky. Real people, real things, increase the thickness.

    The pain of 50 years of separation is long and affectionate, but when she finds her son, it is very sloppy, especially Filomena's attitude towards the nun, and their battle of beliefs has ended in no time, except for the story itself. There is nothing more to remember thing. The same kind is better than "Oranges and Sunshine".

Philomena quotes

  • Martin Sixsmith: Now why would someone who cared so little about where he came from, wear something so Irish?

    Philomena: Well... perhaps he played the harp. He *was* gay.

    Martin Sixsmith: He didn't play the harp.

  • Martin Sixsmith: Phil, how did you know he was gay?

    Philomena: Well he was a very sensitive little boy, and as the years rolled on, I always wondered if he might be. But when I saw the photograph of him in the Dungarees

    [chuckles]

    Philomena: there was no doubt in my mind.
