The rescuer needs to be rescued even more

There are many professions in life, such as psychologists and pastors, they need help more than us

But for professional needs, they have to help others

, I have met many psychologists with abnormal psychology, and they always think that there is something wrong with other people’s hearts.

, This pastor, just like Bresson’s country pastor’s notes, analyzes himself and extends his thinking by keeping a diary, but what he didn’t expect was...

, He is a very easy to be influenced by others.

He was affected by the death of Mary's husband. This person is an environmentalist who felt the threat of the existence of the earth and felt that mankind was about to die, so he chose to end all this suffering by suicide.

The pastor, who was originally pessimistic, followed his way.

His outlook on life even twisted the perspective of God.

At the 250th anniversary of the First Reformed Church he presided over, he even wanted to commit suicide and leave the world, disappointing and suffering all his friends.

I said-life can neither look forward (to keep a diary) nor look back (the earth will be destroyed), so what should we do? Only Shuangfei and love?

I think the director has the same perspective as God, telling us,

We always have many choices,

Every choice is made by ourselves

, Including suicide, these are understandable,

Everyone’s choice has his own reasons.

We feel this pastor,

Trapped in a dark room, I don’t hesitate to hurt my own body (passion), and I don’t care if I get cancer, and then I drink too much.

He loves his God in this way

, Completely different from the current way in the United States

, Of course, this is also his choice

——I still admire the effects of movies very much. Some are just a few shots, even more shocking than Sir Adenburg’s nature documentary.

Because they show the real human anxiety

, Instead of standing in front of the TV camera and persuading us as scientists

, This state of despair is real

, Saying that young people are all lonely planets

, It's just connected together with social platforms.

    Religion and Faith, Destruction and Redemption

  • Frances 2022-04-24 07:01:16

    The babbling Christian-Environmentalist Apocalypse. There are good paragraphs, and the overall atmosphere is also in place: despair and redemption in the end of the world. The plot is simple, the superposition of several connotations of "doomsday", and the expression is not a big problem - as a movie, it is really lackluster and boring. The narrative borrows too much from lines and narration, and is filled with religious, political and historical symbols that keep people out of reach, and there is little characterization and dramatic conflict: what remains is missionary preaching and the desperation of the "Apocalypse" - although there are children. Probably this year's Oscar insists on holding a President Donald J. Trump Criticism Conference, and all the shortlisted films are inseparable from the criticism of his policies... It is also the expectation of the American Film Institute for its own political responsibility. It's hard to say: it's just the Chinese people on the other side of the ocean. The Republic has become the first country in human history to achieve both natural and human settlement improvements in the process of comprehensive industrialization and urbanization. Can you learn something beautiful (laughs)? The biggest so-called "thriller" may be that such a radical, arrogant and weak Christian civilization has led the world for hundreds of years.

First Reformed quotes

  • Reverend Ernst Toller: [Toller lies fully clothed on the bed. V.O] My petty ailments have made me bad tempered. I fight the urge to write down the thoughts which come to my mind.

  • Reverend Ernst Toller: A terrible night. No sooner than I shut my eyes desolation came upon me. What is one's last thought as you pull the trigger? "There goes my head" or "Jesus watch over me?" Or neither? I'm going to tear these pages out. This journal brings me no peace. It's self-pity, nothing more.
