Before, because I had never experienced religion, I thought that I had no connection with religion, and all religious-related topics had nothing to do with me. But as I gradually came into contact with philosophy and the history of science, I also became interested in religion. In addition, as said in the movie "Morris", Morris said when faced with his friend's sneer at religious thought: "Fuck you, but it has a very important meaning to countless people." What I was thinking at the time was that philosophy was devoted to explaining the world, and so was religion, but in a way that might seem too one-size-fits-all to a scientist or philosopher: to give the same answer to everything, and to refuse to question, no question asked. Later , I watched the TV series "The Young Pope" and was deeply moved. From the set to the action to the lines, the whole play shows a serene, contemplative, and pure temperament, and this temperament gives me peace of mind. There is a BGM that I listened to repeatedly, and it became one of the songs I listened to the most times in NetEase Cloud Music last year. Every time I listen to it, I can feel the mystery and peace, as if the universe is whispering, as if the sky is low and the stars are scattered. In addition, the lines are also designed very delicately. In a short sentence, it reveals the profound thoughts and intentions of the speaker. The Pope in the show is young and empowered to explain everything, and he himself is extremely natural, without a shred of self-doubt. His every move has a huge impact on the world, but he has been talking about the seemingly illusory word "love".
But then, in the second "The New Pope," and in this film, I discovered that even within the same religion, there are all kinds of differences. Some people believe that it is necessary to follow the script and live according to the literal meaning of the big book, while others have a revolutionary attitude and believe that religion must evolve with the times. In the Pope's garden, the debate between two wise men is very interesting. Disappointed with the church, the reformist pastor wanted to resign, saying: I no longer want to be a salesman for a product. It seems to me we're no longer part of this world. We are not connected. When the Pope confronted him Whether or not he has surrendered to the modern world, he said: I didn't compromise. I changed. This sentence itself expresses his views on religion. Instead of trying desperately to promote old products that don't work well, it's better to keep pace with the times and beat with the pulse of the world. The debate eventually broke down. But the Pope's very good thing is that he didn't get rid of the priest, whom he didn't agree with at all, but kept him and befriended him. As the two of them got to know each other as two people, the Pope also gradually accepted his ideas. Whether this was a call from God or the Pope's passion and love for the Church is unknown. In the end, the Argentine priest from the end of the world was elected as the new Pope. He chose the name of Francis, who was willing to be poor and smell flowers, and influenced the world at the Vatican. He does look a lot like the high-profile ones in the movie, delivering ice cream to prisoners last summer and blaming officials for refusing vaccinations this year. He does pay attention to the world, walks with it, and practices his policy of doing good.
