For an impatient person like me, it took two to read it. But it has to be said that this is a good-looking movie, with a compact structure and a "no fat" movie. Although the religious atmosphere is strong, and the events narrated are also in the dark realm, the film is rarely objective and introspective. That's why I didn't understand it.
Due to introspection, the director did not tell us whether the child abuse incident was real at the end. MERYL STREEP's skepticism is also our own skepticism. Like Rashomon. However, this time it was his own Rashomon.
Sometimes we don't believe in ourselves the most. We watch things happen, some evidence is in front of us, and we know what the truth is with the most basic associative functions, but we still have some doubts in the end.
Did you really do it right?
In the movie, the director can't directly tell us that MERYL STREEP is right, but sometimes he can tell himself that you are right. Just like when I was a referee, someone told me over and over again: stick to yourself and believe that you are right. Even if you are wrong, you are also right.
The crux of the problem is this: a definite result, sometimes greater than the truth. Because more often, what we need is efficiency and principles to keep life going, not to pursue the illusory truth. Moreover, "truth and happiness cannot have both".
