The light of reason illuminates the cat

Everything in the world is a metaphor. The lens is simple and full of symbols. There is a certain weirdness in the realism. It is very Buñuel: the soot scattered on the bed heralds death, the portrait of the Virgin with one eye, the rat in the old warehouse The cat, the out-of-control carnival of the homeless, the last supper with a mess of cups and plates with hallelujah, the dagger hidden behind the cross, one dog saved but another... Buñuel Religious Trilogy Part 1 In the second part, the heroine Verityna wanted to save her uncle's suicide by saving the beggars. She thought that these people are good people as long as they have enough food, clothing, work, and prayers on time~ However, in reality, in the unbelievers It is like a torrent in the eyes, barbarism occurs, no one or anything can stop and redeem~ Human nature is like this, ugliness is the main thing, goodness is the vision of the wise, whether there are believers or not, the rich and proletarians, men or Woman, no one deserves to be praised~ All cats are gray at night, everything is not perfect, every generation is not perfect, so when false words such as religion and doctrine are not enough to distinguish the world, only the light of reason can illuminate In the dark night, see the cat~
