"Priest in Distress" is also "CALVARY". I finished watching "CALVARY" twice. In winter, the beach on Sunday... the gray sand beach, the undercurrent surging waves in the cold wind... Standing in the cold, the figure of the black priest, the boy drawing on the shore... the beach in the painting... wind, wind, or wind... icy cold The sea breeze... the gunman killed the priest. After watching, there is a kind of nostalgia, a kind of nostalgia inexplicably. I miss the time of these seven days. Instead of sadness. Father James is facing priests, wealthy people, policemen, doctors, butchers, car repairers, murderers, bartenders, elderly writers, sex workers, housewives, autistic youths, travelers...the elderly, middle-aged Years, youths, teenagers... and colleagues, daughters, friends, strangers, myself... but everyone is like children, children who cannot take care of many problems... forbearance, rebellion, self-blame, pain, indulgence, fear, compromise...struggle In his own world, drinking poison to quench his thirst, until he doubts religion, until he hits and hurts someone different from him, Father James. At the beginning, the priest was threatened with murder on Sunday. For the death agreement, the director did not use conventional methods to exaggerate and interpret the dark and oppressive tone, did not focus on the priest’s own personal feelings, expressed the priest’s fear of death, but a large number of white lines, a large number of environmental descriptions, describing the coldness of everything as usual. . In the seven days, he continued to "become" all the people he cared about, actively talking, listening, approving, and giving help... However, in the eyes of these people, the behavior of Father James did not seem to be a piece of sunshine, even more. It was like a lightning bolt, a disturbance, an aggression, an aggression affecting the world that they professed; a hypocritical, hypocritical attempt to make their world full of sunshine. People are too easy to indulge in their own world... Priest colleagues, wisely protect themselves; daughters are sad and sad, the emptiness of the rich, the coldness of the police, the rebellion of the doctor, the forbearance of the butcher, the self-redemption of the murderer, the coldness of the mechanic and the bartender , The despair of the elderly, the indulgence of sex workers’ housewives, the confusion of autistic youth, the innocence of teenagers, the insecurities of travelers... Therefore, everyone has unconditional reflexive resistance, questioning and shocking. Even hurting, Father James. People are too easy to hurt the most trustworthy person. Until this kind of injury, on Saturday, the priest aroused self-suspicion, alcoholism, catharsis and resistance. Until trying to leave. However, on Sunday, the priest remained as promised, waiting on the beach for the person who premeditated to kill him. On the beach, he listened, solved, helped, and even faced his own death. The confession of the gunmen, especially when the painting boy rushed to try to stop , Reminded him of his childhood and couldn't help himself. What a pain, it hurts so much; what a lonely and painful soul, I feel the same for it, and I am moved by it. In the end, the gunman shot and killed Father James. Two shots. His death is actually a choice. And this does not mean nobility, but just a choice, a choice to make when you think of it. On the contrary, the noble meaning affected his purity, showing shallowness and ulterior motives. Choice is the decision of nature, the selfless light of objective nature...it is the self-sustaining of nature. As a result, I remembered a sentence in "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons": You have had pain before you know the suffering of sentient beings. Only by having attachments can you let go of attachments. There was concern, but no concern. Speaking of religion, my understanding is not salvation (because only oneself can redeem oneself), but a kind of aid, a kind of kindness, a kind of respect, a kind of attention, a kind of listening, insight, and identification from your perspective , Guidance... is love... Love is empathy. Religion cannot change the status quo of society, but it can change oneself, teach oneself how to use one's own power to face cruelty and loneliness. However, those who can change themselves are rare. This is a simile, like the name, Calvary.
