The world is another form of hell, and man is the devil living in the world

I watched a piece of "xxxx's hell", it's pretty bad, the story is not good, using Dante's unrequited love for Beatrice as a seasoning, it seems very contrived, I think it is a waste of time. The Lenovo function of the computer showed a Japanese anime "Dante's Journey to Hell". Find it out. This is based on the hell and purgatory chapters of "The Divine Comedy". Dante is a general in the movie and participated in the Crusades. He is no longer unrequited love for Beatrice, but a mutual love agreement. of. The movie is the story of General Dante, who committed various crimes during the Crusades, and rescued his lover in hell. Hell is full of obstacles and organs, and there are painful shouts everywhere, which is consistent with the description of the "Divine Comedy" and the painting by Michelangelo. The first layer of hell is its edge, which is used to punish infidels and children who have not been baptized; the second layer is to punish the sensual and licentious; the third layer is the hell of gluttony; the fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, The eight levels are the hell of greed, anger, heretics, violence, and deception; the bottom is the hell of betrayal. Seemingly harmless sins like gluttony can also cause such long-lasting suffering, and infidels of different parties, suicides who cannot bear the suffering of the world, also go to hell. It seems that the church rule in the Middle Ages is quite arbitrary. Dante met many historical philosophers and emperors, and met many celebrities and acquaintances during his journey through hell. Human feelings collided with religious propaganda. The world has almost turned to hell. To live in the world is to live in grievances. Whoever can be blameless and innocent will become a ghost. Then in a sense, people are the devil that exists in the world. The world is another form of hell. Even the devil who guards hell says that purgatory also has a heavenly element. It's really dialectical. "Divine Comedy" was able to do this kind of humanization of hell, so that hell was not as terrible as it was advertised, which was quite courageous. If you remove the ideological nature, this anime is nothing more than going through every level of hell to kill and open a bloody road. It is also quite boring, even like a clearance game. Journey to hell is a difficult journey, one must pass all levels, doubt everything, and it is inevitable to think about life. In fact, this process itself is an important part of life. Devil introduces original sin, human beings are the spreaders of sin, and the Crusades make all kinds of original sins appear in General Dante, and the grievances are endless. The mother who went to hell by suicide told Dante that he must face his own sins when he was alive, but when he realized that, Beatrice was disappointed. She saw through love and never missed anymore.... Isn't this life? Confusion, struggle, loss, and even the danger of destruction. It seems that the bishop preached the holy war and pardoned the crimes of the crusaders. This is a lie, but judging from the results of the movie, it is still necessary to act in accordance with religious propaganda. Relying on God's cross to kill in hell, including saving some people who have gone to hell, is still very effective. "Divine Comedy" is anti-religious dictatorship, but it does not deny God and does not completely get rid of religion. General Dante smashed the hell into a mess like Sun Dasheng made a noise in the heavenly palace. Has mankind been spiritually liberated since then? What inspiration should mankind get from religion? Dante said at the end of the movie that what he pursues is neither heaven nor hell, nor is he cursed or saved, but to find his love back. You don't have to be a widow in your life, but you still have to be restrained, which in itself is to stay away from the devil.
