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.

Latter Days quotes

  • Elder Harmon: [explaining the hardships of missionary life to Aaron] They set this thing up to be difficult. Okay? Well, we can't listen to music, we can't watch movies, we're never supposed to be alone? I mean, come on, we're 19, 20 years old and we're not even allowed to beat off. Some nights I wake up and I find teeth marks on my headboard. Look, I put my time in here so that I can go home, so that I can marry Jennifer, so that I can finally nail her. See? It's amazing what we do for sex.

  • Sister Gladys Davis: His name was Christian, wasn't it.

    Elder Aaron Davis: What?

    Sister Gladys Davis: Is Christian the one?

    [Aaron smiles and nods]

    Sister Gladys Davis: What did he do to you?

    Elder Aaron Davis: He loved me.

    Sister Gladys Davis: Don't say that! Do you know how ridiculous that sounds? How repulsive that is to God, to everyone? Two men? Men don't love, Airy. Women bring love to a relationship.

    Elder Aaron Davis: Mom, he told me he loved me.

    Sister Gladys Davis: He would have told you anything. He flattered and beguiled you. Tools of the devil - that's what they do.

    Elder Aaron Davis: You don't know that.

    Sister Gladys Davis: Yes I do.

    Elder Aaron Davis: You don't know that!

    Sister Gladys Davis: I do. You know why? Because when you didn't arrive home, I called your mission president.

    Elder Aaron Davis: Checked up on me, huh?

    Sister Gladys Davis: I was worried sick about you! And you know what he said? Your missionary companion told him that that Christian person - you were nothing more than a bet he made.

    Elder Aaron Davis: That's not true.

    Sister Gladys Davis: Yes, it is true. He won your soul for a lousy 50 dollars. That's all you were worth to him, and you know what, he's probably forgotten all about you and now he's moving on to his next fornication.

    Elder Aaron Davis: No - no, he wouldn't.

    Sister Gladys Davis: It meant nothing to him. He was using you. And that is why you can never think about him again. Ever - ever again. You've got... you have got to put this thing behind you. This horrible mistake that everybody knows about. You've seen how they look at us. You've seen how people just turn their carts around when we walk down the aisle at the market and how they look away at the bank. Why do you think your father doesn't come home any more?

    Elder Aaron Davis: [Aaron crying] What if it's not something I've done? What if it's who I am?

    Sister Gladys Davis: [Gladys slaps Aaron] Don't say that! Don't you ever even think that! You can be forgiven. Maybe heavenly father can forgive you for what you've done. But who you are... we could never forgive something like that.
