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.

First Reformed quotes

  • Reverend Ernst Toller: Everything is so extreme. There's no middle ground. Us versus them. We're right, they're wrong let's go to war.

    Reverend Joel Jeffers: It's the times. These are frightening times. These kids grow up in a world we can hardly imagine. A sea of pornography from the time they're ten years old, hyper violent video games, a world without privacy, each kid isolated, communicating through media. A world without hope. Raised on a diet of terrorism, nuclear threats and global warming. You don't know what it's like to raise a kid in this...

    Reverend Ernst Toller: I did raise a kid.

    Reverend Joel Jeffers: I didn't mean it that way. They're frightened. They want certainty. Don't think, follow. They fall prey to extremism. Jihadism is everywhere.

    [gestures]

    Reverend Joel Jeffers: Even here.

  • Balq: [shifts tone] Look, I understand you're upset. You found the body, correct?

    Reverend Ernst Toller: [nods]

    Balq: How?

    Reverend Ernst Toller: We were supposed to meet. He texted me the location.

    Balq: And you counseled him, Reverend?

    Reverend Ernst Toller: Yes.

    Balq: You counseled him. Then he shot himself.

    Reverend Ernst Toller: Yes.

    [His point is made...]

    Balq: I think you need to step back, Reverend. Look at your own life before you criticize others.
