The process of searching for Jesus

The "Bible" is indeed a work with profound and far-reaching influence. Since its birth, people have been trying to interpret this work, from religion, culture to spirituality, etc., it is innumerable. Of course, there are also many film and television literary works adopting such themes. I remember that I once watched a movie called "Three Kings Escape", in which many metaphorical scenes are related to the Bible or ancient Greek myths. I saw this similar method again in a movie I saw yesterday, this movie is "Central Station".

The story seems to be very simple, it is about the process of an old woman and a little boy looking for a father. In addition to the deep family affection revealed in the story, there is another interesting detail that interests me a lot. The child's name is Joshua, his two half-brothers are Moses and Isaiah, and his father is Jesus. So the process of the old woman who helped people write and lead the little boy to find his father became a process of a liar looking for Jesus under the guidance of a pure young man. This reminds me of Bunyan’s "Journey to Heaven" in the 17th century, in which Christians finally reached heaven after going through all kinds of hardships and dangers. Although they didn't find Jesus in the ending part of the movie, the humanity of both of them was sublimated. Perhaps heaven does not exist, but everyone cherishes this wonderful heaven in their hearts, but she has not discovered it yet.

Rio de Janeiro’s central station is noisy and noisy, and people’s hearts are impetuous. The old woman Dora is here to help people write letters. She is enthusiastic and attentive on the surface. In fact, she hides the letters entrusted to this people in her drawers, which makes people empty. look forward to. People are here to confide their pain and anger to their relatives, lovers and "Jesus". The police shot and killed a thief mercilessly, just because he stole a trivial commodity. Violence, impetuosity, and indifference are all over here, even Dora, who mercilessly helps people write letters, and stores them in their drawers mercilessly, as if they could be the masters of people's lives. But when they embarked on the journey of exile, they really came back alive. The small town far away from Rio de Janeiro is barren and barren, even without electricity, but people are so happy, they worship God religiously and live gratefully. What is written on Dora's letter paper is gratitude to God and the thoughts of lover. They all smile and are full of gratitude without exception. Jesus was not found in this place, but Joshua found his two brothers. They are so natural and simple, with a natural smile on their faces, which is touching. Dora left Joshua in this pure place and quietly walked away, and she was no longer the same Dora before, she became the kind and righteous, and would use other people's lipstick to beautify herself Woman. A brand new Dora appeared. She was reborn in this pristine place. Jesus is not here, but he is already in people's hearts.

    The flawed conscience of the cunning little characters at the bottom and the plot from indifference to close to each other are far more moving than the theme of the Virgin. It is also a road-finding film, this film has more rich Catholic Saint Francis colors than "Kikujiro". It can be seen from the names of the three brothers Joshua, Isaiah, and Moses. The permanent missing father is more straightforward. Name Jesus. The female number one looks really like my Seventh Aunt. There is also the cute little Zhengtai.

    In what era we always need such a director and such a movie, because they tell us that no matter how dark the front is, there is always something to look forward to.
