The movie looks like one of those movies that speaks big words and has deep meaning, so I urge myself to stop every now and then and chew on the subtitles. . . It's really nerve-wracking. . .
But it is indeed a bit enlightening. I have been too lazy to write for many years. Let’s move a finger to
try to teach a devout believer to an atheist who has attempted suicide. I can’t see the right and wrong or connotation of religion. After all, I have not studied theology.
Judging from the film itself, the contrast is very obvious, white and black, atheists and believers, professors and missionaries, as for why not men and women, I think the complementarity of yin and yang will be greater than the opposite here, and a man and a woman coexist in the same room When discussing Nima's life, one might cherish each other, and an esoteric drama would inevitably be greatly discounted by the clichéd love component.
Another very obvious contrast is the missionary's vision and hope for a better future and the beast's despair in the human world. Most of the dialogue between the two in the film is based on this contradiction (religion aside), and there is no scene change, always. It was carried out in a slightly shabby black apartment. . . Of course, the filmmakers are definitely not making small productions because they have no money. It is definitely because there is a certain meaning that the director is so low-key on purpose! !
As the film progresses, I find more and more that this house seems to represent the life of an ordinary person. This missionary is the epitome of ordinary people in the current world. The apartment is not big and simple, but the facilities are quite complete (life is not rich , but comfortable), he committed crimes, went to prison, experienced life and death, rekindled hope, started a new life, (he had experienced setbacks and tribulations in his life and then bounced back), surrounded by addicts Punks often come to harass (life has to continue to be troubled or there will be) but the missionary takes probation as a challenge (willing to challenge in the face of difficulties) because he always believes that God will not give up everyone (always believes in certain beliefs and goals) .
This old white man may be the other side of the human heart. After detachment, he is negative, thinking that everything will be empty in the end, and beliefs and longings are just excuses and refuges to anesthetize himself.
We can't say that the beast is wrong. No one can tell the life, old age, sickness and death of a human being. After a hundred years, everything about you will indeed disappear into nothingness. Whether the end or ultimate goal of the theory of evolution is to give up the shackles of the flesh by relying on disease and death as the goal, these are incomprehensible to us ordinary people. This realm of "darkness called beast" is too detached from the world and cannot be achieved by ordinary people. . .
Ordinary people can do, just like the last missionary shouted at the door: i'm gonna be there in the morning, go to the nothingness of Nima! ! ! ! I still have to live like this! ! ! ! !
In the movie, Calle's point of view on belief is very to the point, is belief in God just to fill the emptiness in your heart? That's it. When people encounter confusion or difficulties, they always feel helpless, and they always look for something to rely on for comfort. It may not have any practical effect, but it can indeed comfort people's hearts. God or other gods are because of this. It does exist, no matter whether it exists or not, whether it has historical basis or not, as long as it can help me in times of difficulty.
