The "New World" on the other side of the Golden Gate Bridge is the main theme of the film, which symbolizes the correct and rational pluralistic human civilization and cultural arts; it is different from the "town" in the first half of the film and its superficial villain concept that pursues the ideological domination effect of the Bible. A stark contrast was formed.
The background of the film is the "doomsday" caused by the ozone leakage caused by the world war and the excessive light radiation. From the details, it is easy to see that the protagonist has become blind as a result. This also sets the stage for the Braille version of the Bible at the end (or should it be echoed?). As for the reason for the war, I think it should be related to the use of religion for ideological domination and belief coercion among the villains. The film even explained that "they thought this book was the cause of the war, so they burned them all." So the war was probably related to religious ideology. Notice! The protagonist's final task is to send the "Bible" as a heritage of human civilization to the museum of the "New World". Instead of preaching Christianity! The world that people in the "New World" want to rebuild is also a world of cultural diversity and freedom of belief, which also runs counter to the idea of the unity of Christian thought. In addition, the protagonist said in the car after being shot: "I always wanted to protect it, but I forgot to live with it." This also reflects the "Bible" and the Christianity it represents from the side, and should not be unified tools of thought, and should be part of human civilization. Therefore, I think that, to a certain extent, this film is not only a film that promotes Christianity, but even a film that opposes the unity of Christian ideology. Free-thinking video. Therefore, if you think of it as a simple theme religious movie and give it 1 star, wouldn't it be the same as the villain's cripple?
In addition, even if it is a main theme movie, even if the plot is old-fashioned and imitated, is it 1 star and 2 stars that can't be said? What happened to the main melody? What's wrong with the classic? If these two kinds of movies are removed from the world's movies, I'm afraid there will be nothing left.
(Personal opinion please advise)
