Mormonism is a little darkened

The large-scale gay sex scenes took me a few times, and I needed to calm down before I could continue watching. Being gay can be filmed to such an extent that I think it is possible for everyone to become gay in the next 20 years. The power of role models is infinite.
In fact, according to statistics, homosexual families are unusually stable, and there is almost no divorce, which makes heterosexual comrades feel bad.
However, the description of Mormonism in the film is slightly different from my perception. I went to the United States on a business trip 10 years ago, and by chance I had the opportunity to visit the Mormon Church. My first impression of the Mormon Church was that it was rich, really rich. The decoration of the church was not built, but truly magnificent. My partner told me that many billionaires in the United States are Mormons and have large donations. The girl at the front desk who received us was only 16 years old, just like the movie. We were moved by her detailed introduction and tireless answers. I can't remember the teachings she preached, but the light in her eyes is still fresh in my memory. Such a pure and confident light, such a happy and determined light, I have only seen this once in my life. It's a 16-year-old girl, but it makes us so-called adults feel lewd. How many distracting thoughts do we have every day, how many times our eyes wander every day. But this 16-year-old girl, during the three hours that she accompanied us to visit, her eyes did not have any wandering and uncertain, and the light was always the same. I even doubted for a few seconds that what I met was a man or a god.
But what is the content of Mormonism, I really can't remember, I'm sorry for the morning of the girl like the Virgin.
On the way back, I specifically checked with the experts. I know that many people in the United States still think that Mormonism is a cult. But in fact, Mormonism has always been relatively low-key, and many of the top successful people in the United States (including several presidents) have ascetic characters and are Mormons. A church, if it is rich and mysterious, will naturally make people guess. For example, Jews, wherever they go, are considered to be conspiring to overthrow the local government. In fact, it is this kind of rich and low-key trouble.
I think the Mormons are written a little too darkly in the movie. In fact, although the Mormons are powerful, they are still just a normal social group. If the Mormons were really that strong, the movie wouldn't be released. If you don't believe me, try to film Jews like that, and see which film company dares to release it.
