In addition, I have also seen an equivalent substitution between "discourse power" and "hegemony".
First, Larry clearly did his homework before interviewing each subject, and he clearly had an advantage in the face of interviewees who were at a loss for what their purpose was.
Secondly, even if there are problems in the interviews in the early stage, there may be such a situation - after processing in the later stage, the "our side" has the upper hand, and the "enemy" has the upper hand and the "our side" is speechless. does not appear. This is also a common means of making video programs and documentaries.
Third, I don't think the documentary is very convincing. The film itself has a very extreme tone, although I can understand why the director chooses those paranoid, grotesque, and warlock-like ones for the sake of clarity of point of view, visual presentation, dramatic conflict, etc. interviewees, but at the same time, I don't think those people are mainstream among religious people. Among the religious people, I believe, there are a good number of people who are kind and friendly and willing to listen to others' opinions.
I have personally chosen to take refuge in Buddhism. When I chose to take refuge, I really wanted to do good and practice. But with the growth of time and the constant contact with religion, there are indeed many doubts deep in my heart. This is also the main reason why I choose to watch similar documentaries. However, in this documentary, I did not see some of the most essential things I wanted to see - the negative impact on human civilization, society and individuals, or should be said, these parts take up too little space. What I see is that Bill's insistence on "virgin birth" and "man and dinosaur at the same time" all sorts of minutiae, which greatly diminishes the meaning of the film itself.
In the end, I think that if the documentary "The Absurdity of Religion" is only talking about the absurd part of religion, it is understandable; but if its meaning is to say that religion is absurd, then I can only say that this is the real Absurd in the sense.
There is a saying, existence is reasonable.
