The theme of human nature is good. At the beginning, the murderer picked out his idea of killing a good priest-by means of prayer. Senior pastors represent human indifference; widows represent debauchery; black immigrants ignore the law and enjoy alone. Such people represent human greed and selfishness. There is also a group of people who are lonely, want to be forgiven by Allah, and seek a sense of identity. Represented by men who desire sex, big bosses. The priest is a good person, representing a glorious image and a bright side of humanity. Actively solve various problems of the people in the town and reconcile various contradictions. After all kinds of incomprehension, the pressure was too great, and some bad characteristics were also revealed. He was also an alcoholic in the past. After losing his wife, he was summoned by Allah and became a priest with a pious heart. At the end of the film, the priest chose to be honest and was eventually killed.
After all, people have a dark side. However, you still have to be honest in your heart, differ from each other, and be firm in your ideals and goals.

Although there is a lot of dark humor, the overall tone of the film is quite depressing. The various supporting characters have their own problems. The only good priest, the only good man, failed to influence them. In the end, he was willing to suffer, or redeem himself. People still haven't changed.

The suffering and redemption of religion, which was originally a rather obscure subject, became interesting because of the suspense set in the opening. After receiving the death notice, the priest continued his life, embracing the ugliness and lack of faith in human nature. This Irish seaside town that gathers all kinds of people is sunny all day long, but it can't get rid of the gloomy tone. The name Calvary is very tasteful, and I thought it was a comedy.
