Introduction to Hinduism

In other words, opposing the leader and not against the true god is the Indian version of "anti-corrupt officials, not against the emperor", right?

This movie is very entertaining, with bright colors, a lively rhythm and a lot of laughs. There are also not many traditional songs and dances.

Kanjie, the owner of a small shop, is a clear-cut atheist. Once, because his son didn't stay at home to study before the exam, but went to participate in lively religious activities, Kanjie made a fuss on the scene and mocked God. Immediately, his shop collapsed in a miniature earthquake.

Kan Jie went to the insurance company to make a claim, but he did not expect that there was a clause in the small print that the loss caused by force majeure would not be compensated. ——This "force majeure" is written here as "act of God".

Kanjie, who had lost everything, had a plan to make a living, and he went to court to sue God. The logic is also very complete: if the earthquake loss is caused by God, the god’s salesman-the religious leaders should compensate him; if the court proves that the earthquake is not "act of God", the insurance company must compensate him in accordance with the law.

No matter what the verdict is, Kanjie's family property is back: "Ha ha ha, I'm so witty."

This beginning is very interesting, especially in the general superstition environment in India, which makes people suspect that this is a subversive work deliberately committed to death.

Unexpectedly, the plot actually broke this dead set. Kanjie's case caused a social sensation, and the mob stood outside the courthouse to beat him. Kanjie ran for a day. Seeing that he was about to be caught, a handsome guy riding a motorcycle suddenly rushed out and rescued him.

(I still don’t understand whether this person’s cool appearance is to satirize the exaggerated action scenes in Bollywood movies, or to show his coolness seriously.)

This handsome guy is-the main god Hei Tian himself.

Heitian claims to be a real estate agent and lives in Kanjie's house (Kanjie is already poor enough to sell his house). He escorted him all the way and showed the way.

After several rounds of war with the Pope, Kanjie became the idol of a group of poor people who were refused insurance by insurance companies. In the end, he witnessed Heitian's miracle and believing in God. Overthrow the leader under the guidance of God.

Well this whole story...

Not only is it not anti-religious, it is very Hindu from beginning to end.

It opposes ritualized religion, but advocates a religion of understanding and justification by faith (I don’t know how to say this in Hindu language).

Hei Tian Shen is humorous and handsome, from the beginning to the end, he is straightforward, happy and easy, and looks like a god and Buddha in the classics.

Kanjie made some remarks that questioned the nature of religion, which was shocking in the context of India, but in the end he believed it.

Of course, this is also because Kanj’s question has not been answered. If you think about it, you will still come to an anti-Hindu conclusion.

For example, one of the focal points of Kanjie’s lawsuit is whether God is responsible for the suffering on earth. The conclusion of the movie is, yes, these are all gods. Because of this favorable conclusion, Kanjie won the case and passed out after a stroke.

So the movie didn't dig into "Why God allowed suffering to exist when the world was created".

In the hidden logic of the movie, "suffering" is a by-product of God's creation. Hindu gods don't care after the creation of the world, and the world is heading towards suffering. Then why does God allow suffering to continue? Because God does not want to interfere with the world created by human free will.

This logic was explained by St. Augustine of the Catholic Church in the 5th century. That is, human beings have a certain degree of free will. This is a test given by God. It is more valuable to choose God's path with free will.

However, in the movie, or the main god of Hinduism, it is not the "good or bad god" of Catholicism, or the "evil god" of Judaism. But a thoroughly good person, compassionate and loving. Such a god would be unkind to allow Kanjie's small shop to collapse, or allow Kanjie to have a final stroke.

In particular, God also appeared on the scene to rescue Kanjie, as self-identification, and then said "God is everywhere" (all religious philosophies in the world eventually ended up as spiritual gods). The spiritual you made Kanjie sick, and then he cured him with the human you just to convince him that God exists. Isn't this bad?

You can't think about similar details, and there are still many legal process issues that you can't think about. If you just look at this as an entertainment movie, it would be pretty good if you don't call it a god.

Kanjie, the dark god, and the villain’s leader laughed so much, with bright and dark, it’s funny to watch the excitement, and people who understand India might look more funny.

There is another thing that is not politically correct...I found that in Indian movies, the performance of "big handsome" is fluent in English, with a Caucasian face... Just like watching European and American movies, there will be no "this is also Called good-looking" question.
