Thoughts in plain

Very bland films, can't be said to be interesting, but give people a lot of space for thinking.
French films like to delve into themselves, and have a deeper ideological theme than domestic films. As far as the plot is relatively slow and bland, French films belong to small literature and art. Although I saw that I was about to fall asleep at the end, it was still rewarding.
The chant of the church runs through the whole film, the scene is very real, and the chant is sung once a week in French churches. Very quiet and peaceful.
Many of the lines are philosophical
'"Why faith makes people miserable and why Jesus is always silent"
"Love is inclusive of all neighbors who love you like brothers"
"Close to God, we will also be close to poverty, failure, death"
This is needed Doubtful, is it not close to God that can not be close to perfection?
Why is the outcome of believing in God is that believers still cannot escape the clutches of terrorists, and they are all hostages in the end. They really heard the call of Jesus to bring the Gospel to North Africans, but they all ended up being killed? Where has God gone, why didn't he protect his people?

    People are cowardly, but we can rely on God to not fear death. The chants are beautiful, and the religious rhetoric is classic. We understand human dependence, but we don’t know God’s revelation. We have to sincerely wait and wait.

    The Last Supper is Mainstreamed

Of Gods and Men quotes

  • Christian: We are martyrs out of love, out of fidelity. If death overtake us, despite ourselves, because up to the end, up to the end we'll try to avoid it. Our mission here is to be brothers to all. Remember that love is eternal hope. Love endures everything.

  • Christian: Once they were gone, all we had left to do was live. And the first thing we did was - two hours later - we celebrated the Christmas vigil and mass. It's what we had to do. It's what we did. And we sang the mass. We welcomed that child who was born for us absolutely helpless and already so threatened. Afterwards, we found salvation in undertaking our daily tasks: The kitchen, the garden, the prayers, the bells. Day after day, we had to resist the violence. And day after day, I think each of us discovered that to which Jesus Christ beckons us: It's to be born. Our identities as men go from one birth to another. And from birth to birth, we'll each end up bringing to the world the child of God that we are. The incarnation, for us, is to allow the filial reality of Jesus to embody itself in our humanity. The mystery of incarnation remains what we are going to live. In this way, what we've already lived here takes root as well as what we're going to live in the future.
