Philomena: Anti-God?

The meaning of the cinema's existence: when the lights are turned off, in the darkness and silence, a fair and bright reason and way are found for crying and weakness. The power of movies: Experiences in life happen willingly and unwillingly. I am unhappy. I have movies to heal. Even if I cry, I will be happy. [Rose]

Philomena: God is dead, but God is still in the clouds. This era or any era should re-evaluate everything and anything of value. What are the standards? What is the only judging criterion! Who can represent God to show the infinite radiance of divinity!

What is morality? Are all judgments from the point of view of oneself correct? Who is the most suitable to stand on the commanding heights of morality and look down on everything! God? Where is he, since he set up the "original sin theory" for human beings to be judged after death, why did he turn human beings into "the body of desire"! The nun who stifled desire and abstained for life destroyed the nature of erotic desire, and the pain of her life was not a judgment in this world! Philomena's painful life spent in remorse, how can God judge when death comes!

It's not wrong because no one has ever done it right. A mother searches for "repentance" and "redemption" all her life, that is the brilliance of great motherhood! A display of human kindness!

Don't get lost in faith, and don't be imprisoned in religion. All right and wrong is the "fixed value" of "liquidity"! There is no eternal truth of binary opposition! Everything in this world is questionable. [moon]
