our habitat?

I watched Sister Act a long time ago, and I watched it again two days ago. It feels very different from the first time, a very touching comedy, and this is my new evaluation.
Plot: Singer DeLauris (Hubby Goldberg) is in a relationship with underworld boss Vincent. At the beginning of the movie, like many extramarital lovers, DeLauris pestered each other for divorce, and Vincent was perfunctory. Later, Vincent gave DeLauris a fur coat with his wife's name written on it. DeLauris was very annoyed and rushed into Vincent's office to return it to him, only to witness a murder.
Vincent sent someone to kill her in order to silence her. In order to protect her as a witness at the scene, the police arranged for her to hide in a nun as a nun.
The cold and toned life at the convent made DeLauris unacceptable, and the dean was worried about her accident and arranged for her to join the choir.
She thought the choir was very bad, and added popular elements to the songs of praise to God, which were warmly welcomed, and the Pope also came to appreciate it. However, because the spies within the police discovered where De Lauris was and reported it to Vincent, De Lauris was hunted down again.
After De Lauris was caught by Vincent, his men dared not kill her because they were not sure whether she was really a nun. DeLauris took the opportunity to escape.
At this time, all the nuns of the monastery came, and the killer could not start because he saw "innumerable nuns". Eventually, the police arrived when Vincent opened fire on DeLauris.
In this film, all my moving comes from religious tolerance. I remember this sentence: "To err is human, To forgive is devive." That impetuous, vulgar little woman, reborn in the monastery, became tolerant, pure and fearless. Those songs dedicated to God, as if from heaven, let people relax as if they were taken off the shackles, and I just wanted to cry. Not grievance, not sadness, but a happy catharsis.
At the end of the credits, I actually wanted DeLaurese to stay at the convent, because there she was really happy, she was pure, kind, loving and charming, she was loved by the nuns, that was where she belonged.
Everyone needs a habitat. Perhaps, the monastery is Delaware's home. What about us, where is our habitat? Where can we find our happiness and tranquility so that shrunken souls can breathe freely?

Sister Act quotes

  • [discussing convents]

    Sister Mary Lazarus: A progressive convent? Sounds awful. I liked my convent in Vancouver. Out in the woods. It wasn't all modern like some of these new-fangled convents. We didn't have electricity. Bare feet, cold water. They were nuns.

    Sister Mary Patrick: Sounds wonderful!

    Sister Mary Lazarus: It was hell on earth, I loved it. This place is a Hilton.

  • Delores: What are you gonna do? Stick me in a bag and bury me? Forget it!
