However, it is a movie with such a straightforward plot, but it has a profound understanding and thinking about religion. I personally think that religion and belief are just the fuse. Selfishness, desire, hatred, betrayal, and revenge in human nature are what the film wants to express. There is no righteous side and evil side in the film. The final outcome is caused by the protagonist monks, village witches, and crusader knights due to their own desires and selfishness. It's hard to say who's right and who's wrong.
But I think there is a sentence in the film that can sum up all three of them: There is no place in heaven for those who kill A group of villagers who don't believe in God make the protagonist a group of people betray God, and they can be allowed to live, otherwise it will be a cruel death. The protagonist and a group of people have shown their loyalty to God and would rather die than yield. This didn't make me think, it reminded me of traveling to Tibet in August this year, when a friend dropped his wallet in a taxi. Back to the hotel only to find out. Ask the boss what to do? The boss said that if the taxi driver was a Tibetan, they would still be able to find it. If it is a Chinese, it is basically impossible. Because most Tibetans believe in Buddhism, they will not take other people's things easily. In the end, a kind-hearted Tibetan initiative contacted us, and finally retrieved the wallet. Why is religion so powerful? Why are people of faith so calm and even face death! Maybe it's incomprehensible to a non-believer like me.
