religious violence

The theme and narrative performance of "Beyond the Mountain" surpassed that of "Three Weeks and Two Days in April", and the exploration of human beings and the excavation of human nature went deeper and farther. The display of religious brutality is especially startling, everyone whispers in the name of love, but the devotion to God and people from the non-religious world seem to be facing a heavy mountain. No matter how hard and well-intentioned people on the two ends, they will never be able to penetrate each other. The result was just a tragedy.
Coming from a non-religious world, I can understand the collision of the two worlds in the film, but the film does not bring my emotions into it so that I can understand and feel the 'display of religious cold violence'. The films that show the collision of the two worlds are rarely seen, and they are worthy of my collection, because I feel the violence of people from the non-religious world.

    It's a good movie, but I don't like watching movies about religion in my personal taste, mainly because I don't understand religion. In comparison, I like more than three days and two nights in April.

    Three and a half. What is redemption, and who is redeemed? It is a pity that this film did not make it into the final list of foreign language films, even if amour basically locked the award.
