behind closed doors

Is religion really degrading the world? And do they only have the "efficacy" to make mankind go to extinction? Frankly speaking, although this "documentary" attacking various religions (from Christianity to Islam and even some partial sects), although there are many applause and laughs, the film is curious and joking. Much more meaningful than the so-called inquiry.

The audience followed in the footsteps of host Bill Maher (he is the host of Dong Duxiao and the screenwriter of the film) all over the Holy City, interviewing (and questioning) the believers, from the superior to the commoners. It's just that a serious subject, brought out in a sarcastic tone (an interview with the marijuana sect, the most famous passage) is indeed very "approachable", but at the same time it is difficult to convince people.

Also, the film shows the specificity of the chariots and horses, and the purpose of every interview and segment (but I can't help laughing when I cite George Bush's example) is to "beat" people's faith in religion. It doesn't matter if the film has a set position, but can it be objective and comprehensive? Personally, I appreciate the courage of the creator, but the effect that comes out now is a bit behind closed doors.

Honestly, how many people will have doubts about their beliefs after watching this film? How many people will join the ranks of anti-religion because of this? However, it is undeniable that this is another topic of "Lions Gate".

The film is very entertaining to watch, but there are still many places to consider.
