About acceptance and salvation

It is said that this is a movie based on real life...

The old nun thought that “keeping the vows of chastity, self-denial and abstinence can be closer to God”, but had no mercy for those “sinful” unmarried pregnant girls and their children.

We often hear a saying, "God loves the world", but if there is no acceptance and tolerance, how can we love it? I believe that Philomena loves her son Anthony. She accepts all his sexual orientation, his cause of death, and everything about him. Philomena also loves the old nun. In the face of deception, she chooses to forgive. The sentence "I forgive you" is not only a salvation for the nun, but also a dialogue for herself.

After 50 years of waiting, I finally found that "the journey we were looking for has returned to the original point, the first place in our memory."

If there is no favor, all beliefs are nothing more than a personal misinterpretation of religion... The phrase "I couldnt forgive you" that Martin said to the old nun speaks the heart of most people.

Philomena quotes

  • Martin Sixsmith: Now why would someone who cared so little about where he came from, wear something so Irish?

    Philomena: Well... perhaps he played the harp. He *was* gay.

    Martin Sixsmith: He didn't play the harp.

  • Martin Sixsmith: Phil, how did you know he was gay?

    Philomena: Well he was a very sensitive little boy, and as the years rolled on, I always wondered if he might be. But when I saw the photograph of him in the Dungarees

    [chuckles]

    Philomena: there was no doubt in my mind.
