Religious themes are very sensitive. There are always people for it, there are always people against it. Inevitably there will always be misinterpretations. I haven't read the first version, only read Martin's version. It is said to be very restored to the original. For a non-religious believer like me, two hours is a good time to watch. First, the picture is beautiful. Wide angle lens, lots of god perspective. Scenic. Alluding to the quiet Japanese culture and the ever-silent God. Several of the characters are very much like Jesus. There are three masters and disciples, and a large number of missionaries have died at the beginning. All in the shape of Jesus. Close-up of the Crucifixion. It seems that in order to preach in Japan, many Jesus went to suffer. This is just one of them.
The discussion on whether the protagonist has abandoned religion has given a definite ending here. Hold a cross when you die. But the original is said to be confusing at this point. In terms of artistic handling, it is definitely better to deal with the blurring. I don't know if Martin wants to shoot something here, so he handles it like this. In short, if you are not a believer, you should take a look at photography. Recommend the concurrent program of "Villain Film Review".
As for the topic of mission, it is still cultural aggression in general. No matter what kind of soft and gorgeous appearance you use, you can't deny the fact. For example, if someone didn't come to your house to tell you what to do, but you insisted Talk to someone else's house. This is a fact that even God cannot change. Sadly, there is also a large group of people who feel that it is absolutely right and sacred to go to someone else's house and say it.
