It turns out that the foreign adults are like this too.

I haven't read the book, just watched the movie.

Better than I thought. At first I thought it was all about religious mysteries. I didn't expect this piece of imagination to be quite rich, or to say, it can be so tricky. For example, the alternative story about Jesus and the church, saying that A Pope does not refer to the Pope, but Alexander Pope, etc. ...

is quite reflective. Reflecting the sins of the church goes to the point of blatantly attacking the church. Some of the religious figures in the film are brainwashed to the level of Islamic extremists engaged in jihad. It is relatively easy to speak ill of the church in China, but it takes a lot of courage to say such things in the United States. I'm curious what the church thinks of this kind of work that blatantly attacks the church.

It's also very feminist. Praise women and condemn the oppression of women in history. But this is more of a modern trend. It is hard to imagine that the ancients had this kind of consciousness. It would be more reasonable to say that Jesus values ​​sex over friends, cronyism, and family values.

In the end, the protagonist said that he usually does not believe in God, but he once prayed to Jesus when he was in distress. Isn't this the same as the pragmatism of Chinese people who have been criticized by many people?
