no one is innocent

This film is indeed very similar to the theme of the eight o'clock in the past few years, a family ethics feature film. It's just that we are entangled in house money, and others are entangled in religion and money.
In fact, it is not necessarily that anyone is more noble than anyone.

I don't think at all how holy the nanny is. At that time, what she said to Ximin in private was very disgusting. On the one hand, she was afraid to accept the indemnity, because she knew that the child was not aborted because of Nader, and she was afraid that if she accepted the indemnity, bad luck would befall her daughter. On the one hand, she didn't want her husband to know that she was lying and was afraid of her husband's anger. If Westminster does what she asks, the result is likely to be that the cranky cobbler will take revenge on Westminster's children.

With this request, I can see her reverence for religion, but her child matters, so does other people's child matter? The safety of other people's children is not even as important as her being scolded by her husband. So she is not noble at all.

Her devotion to religion can probably be compared to our devotion to speed limits.
The purpose of the speed limit is for traffic safety. But most people obey the speed limit out of fear of getting a ticket. If we know exactly where the camera is, we can slow down a bit when we get to the camera. If you arrive at an unfamiliar road section, and you don’t know where a camera will suddenly appear, and the ticket is expensive, for example, in Switzerland, you will carefully control the speed throughout the process.

Most people just respond to rewards and punishments that are relevant to their own interests. Religious belief, after secularization, is transformed into reverence for another kind of karma. It’s just that God is everywhere, omniscient and omnipotent, just like not knowing where to flash your camera, so believers are more cautious in their words and deeds.


Suddenly I remembered a dog blood movie I watched a long time ago, where Liu Tianwang was still shining with the brilliance of Zhengtai. The general content is that an old prostitute was framed for murder, and lawyer Liu Tianwang worked hard to exonerate her. On the verge of success, the prosecution lawyer discovered a shocking gossip - Liu Tianwang, who grew up in a monastery, was the child of this old prostitute. If this is confirmed, then Liu Tianwang is not qualified to defend this old prostitute, and everything has been for nothing. Finally the old abbot of the monastery was brought to court. The old dean knew the truth and knew that the old prostitute had been secretly visiting her son. But she lied in court at the time, saying she hadn't met the old prostitute. At that time, the camera gave a close-up, and the old nun tightly grasped the Bible in her hand. Finally happy ending. The old prostitute was saved. . .

In the story, the old nun lied because she had already judged for God. Compassion put her on the side of the old whore.

In this movie, everyone has more or less turned their backs on Allah and lied before the judge.
After a bunch of cost measurements, people say what is best for them. Of course the cost of a belief ticket is also taken into account. Since piety affects the amount of the ticket, the weight of faith in the selection also varies.
When considered in this way, one comes to the conclusion that faith is not the ultimate principle for anyone.

Atheists spread their hands, and no one is innocent.

Don't think I'm criticizing religion. Excuse some atheist power.
What is the relationship between unbelief and no bottom line? That is, even if you are flashed, you can very well not get a ticket. If there is no necessary connection between cause and effect, who is responsible for the behavior?
