The teacher in English class recommended this movie, and it also talks a lot about medieval and Christianity. After reading the comments, everyone's comments on this movie are not very good. Except for some troublemakers who like to burn witches, I think a large part of the reason is that I don't know the whole religious background very well. Of course, there are indeed places that are not very good.
Christianity has ruled people's minds for a thousand years. It can be seen from the movie that everyone believes in God, God, and purgatory.
-Why is there the terrible Black Death?
- because God punishes sinners.
- But I am not guilty.
——……
Probably God just wants to punish you with a horrible death.
So some people say that since the Black Death was God's punishment for his people, then, then, I choose to abandon God and at the same time abandon the suffering of disease. This is the idea of the witch and her followers. This is our new belief, the belief that there is no God, and that belief will protect us from the Black Death. Therefore, those of my faith will be blessed, and the pagans, the Christians, are our enemies.
But the Black Death still raged.
If it is inferred by experimental methods, it shows that religious beliefs and diseases are not related. This is my conclusion out of religion and age.
But the protagonists in religions and times do not have such a perspective of God. Some of them choose to betray their beliefs in order to survive, but more people choose to stick to their beliefs by all means, including killing their lovers.
If I change the scene, I may be moved, abandoning small love for big love, and enduring extreme pain for the sake of faith. They are Huang Jiguang, Dong Cunrui, and the most lovely people. But it is very strange to put it here. This kind of belief has not brought happiness and joy to people. This kind of belief has made people fall into the slaughter of self, so why should we choose belief? Christianity was the equivalent of water to fish in the Middle Ages. Everyone was used to being numb, but when disasters came and religious far-fetched theories could not explain and soothe the pain, some people would definitely question the belief itself.
So can it be deduced that all the forbidden and repressed must be broken by human nature? Such as love, such as the market economy, such as gay people.
In addition, there can be expanded awareness about sobriety. A few years ago, there was a very popular saying on Zhihu, which probably meant that you should not be moved by yourself. The key is not how hard you work or how difficult it is, but the result. Everyone went through fire and water, sacrificed their lives for their beliefs, or for the sake of my dear God, I worked very hard, and even gave up my family to kill witches. I gave everything, should I be admired by the world? Of course no. How not to be carried away by the stupidity of the environment - thinking, questioning. But it's really not easy.
