Many imprisoned elements need to be rebuilt with the rose - the humility, tolerance, fire of hope of Our Lady
There is a special sense of synchronicity to watch a film with such tones on a cold winter evening in Shanghai.
The first feeling after watching the movie is: the identification and oppression of rights in a closed environment. The monastery has only a certain degree of autonomy, as does the local bishop. In the event of a human life or other unsolved cases, it can only be rudely resolved by the Inquisition. Of course, not all inquiries are rude. The rudeness embodied in this film is a metaphor.” The dead end and sadness of the "identity" operation method, William almost lost his life when he was labeled as a "heretic" according to the ruling of his conscience last time, this is the proof of the identification operation method.
In addition to agreeing with the confinement characteristics of the operation method, there is also the confinement knowledge of the "Book Collection Pavilion" of the monastery. William saw Houle for the first time like a child. He is a person who loves wisdom and can have so many collections. It's really good to be happy that it can make him or other intellectuals a treasure, but the reality of the film is that it is full of sweat and no one cares. It can be compared with the zoonotic housing of the poor outside the monastery. The expressions of several monks are also very appropriate. They only come for a full meal and a warm and comfortable sleep, and they don't care about other things. It can be seen that the realistic living environment breeds such a negative attitude. William's students also lamented that the monks were not grounded and had nothing to do with the outside world. Even in the inner monastery, they only thought about consuming the inside and then consuming the outside.
The blind friar and the Dominican referee's identification operation method is more vividly expressed. One is because he forced himself not to laugh, because laughter is a trick of the devil, so he can't make others laugh, otherwise they can only let them die; Dominican's Donagyu represents a more rigid, procedural way of operating, one that agrees with one's dissent.
The last fire, the fire in the monastery, and the two fires executed outside the courtyard, the two monks were indeed guilty, but the execution may be too much, and it can only be regarded as a way of handling things within the church. The rescue of the girl represents the righteous expression of the awakening of conscience. Could the fires near and far express the warning that the students will give to everyone in the name of the rosary of the Virgin after they have prayed to the Virgin?
Of course, the above ideas cannot increase or decrease the accumulation of information inherent in the dark Middle Ages of the church and the Inquisition. The film does not intend to exaggerate or reduce this information. It can only express the results brought about by specific characters and circumstances, and it was not at that time. of churches have identity politics. This is the case in all systems of power that are imprisoned in space and time.
