Atonement, redemption, hatred, forgiveness

This is a story about atonement and redemption. The hatred of the younger brother comes from seeing his own brother being shot and killed with his own eyes. The release of hatred should be equally painful as the release of forgiveness. Where does the hatred come from? he killed his brother; he killed his brother in front of his brother; he killed his brother in front of his brother, and he did nothing; he killed his brother in front of his younger brother, and his brother indifferent brought his mother Endless pain and blame, which one is the cause of hatred, maybe both. So the story went on for 33 years. The executor of sin always stands above the bearer of sin, so even atonement or forgiveness will inevitably give people a soft and contrived attitude. This is sin, and the scale of sin can never be balanced on both sides.
Everyone should have felt guilty. Perhaps the source of sin is not the same, and it cannot be considered that only murder is sinful. There are a lot of things that occasionally make me feel sick, like swallowing a cockroach. How do we seek forgiveness? The executor's forgiveness for his sinful deeds, and the victim's forgiveness for his own pain. Can time heal everything? It can be forgotten, but it will never disappear.
Impulsivity is the devil, there is pain that you can never repay. Treat yourself well, how?
5 minutes in heaven, if there are only 5 minutes, then what is the difference between heaven and hell, if there are more than 5 minutes, then why allow yourself to spend 5 more minutes in hell?
PS: The acting skills of the two leading actors are not at all superb to express. The small movements and micro-expressions are fully interpreted. Those who like acting can take a look, because the plot of the story is really not very good.

Five Minutes of Heaven quotes

  • Alistair Little: Time will heal they say... what everybody says about everything. The years just get heavier. Why don't they tell you that? Nobody tells you that!

  • [first lines]

    Young Alistair - 1975: [narrating] For me to talk about the man I have become, you need to know about the man I was. I was 14 when I joined the Tartan gangs, and I was 15 when I joined the UVF, the Ulster Volunteer Force. At that time, don't forget, there were riots on the streets every week; petrol bombs everyday, and that was just in our town. When you got home and switched on the TV, you could see what was happening in every other town as well, and it was like we were under siege. Fathers and brothers and friends were being killed in the streets, and the feeling was, we all have to do somethin'. We're all in this together and we all have to do somethin'.
