Who has the right to condemn whom?

Aaliyah 2022-03-22 09:03:01

The story begins with a blind boy in an educational institution for the blind, Murman. When all the partners were kissed and embraced by their parents, Murman was the only one sitting alone on a bench waiting for his father.

However, his father just wanted to get rid of Moman. He went to Moman's teacher and asked if he could keep Moman here... In the end, his father took Moman to his grandma's house.

During this period of time at grandma's house, Merman was happy. He used his hands to perceive the world and the same "invisible" God.

However, how could the father, who has always regarded Murman as a burden, stop like this? When his father was about to marry his beloved girl, he sent Murman to the blind carpenter, ignoring Murman's protests. Later, at the insistence of my grandmother, my father finally agreed to bring Murman back.

Just the day before Murman was about to be picked up by his father, when the fog filled Murman, the grandmother on the other side was no longer there, and the father's gift to the beloved girl's family was also returned. Misfortunes do not come singly. On the way home, Murman was accidentally swept away by the river. When his father jumped into the river and woke up, both were washed up on the beach.

At this point, I just want to say that there is nothing wrong with Murman, who was invisible at a young age and wanted to get rid of by his father, but is it wrong for his poor and unloved father when his wife died? Even if he didn't want to take his son home, even if he didn't stop his son walking in that direction after hearing the strange cry, even if he hesitated a little when he saw his son falling into the water. It has to be said that they are not wrong. When fate is like this, misfortune becomes the original sin, and who is qualified to condemn who?

At the end of the film, Merman's fingers, who were lying in his father's arms, gradually glowed and spread out, as if they were grabbing something. I think, he must have touched the God that he has always treated piously? Perhaps, God has sensed his kindness and piousness, and cannot bear him to suffer in the world.

The Color of Paradise quotes

  • Mohammad: [crying] Our teacher says that God loves the blind more because they can't see. But I told him if it was so, He would not make us blind so that we can't see Him. He answered "God is not visible. He is everywhere. You can feel Him. You see Him through your fingertips." / Now I reach out everywhere for God till the day my hands touch Him and tell Him everything, even all the secrets in my heart.

  • Mohammad: [crying] Nobody loves me because I'm blind.
