existence or nothingness

Religion, belief in and respect for gods. That is man's thirst for infinite existence, his belief in spiritual existence, and his dependence on God. There are also too many movies about religion. Along the way, I used the Bible as a script to imagine and speculate, or to describe the religious activities of the clergy. Most of them are sacred and incorruptible images to show people's influence on the outlook on life and moral salvation. However, [Angry Crimes] is a serious correction, satirizing Christian doctrine in the form of comedy. The two fallen angels, Bartby and Loki, tried every means to return to heaven and learned that St. Michael The atonement ceremony to be held in the church, all those who walk through the church gate, all their sins will be forgiven, and the two angels intend to return to heaven. And Bethany, the only descendant of God, must stop all this. Once they return to heaven, it will prove that God is wrong. All the existence of all things in the world is based on a premise - God is perfect, if the Lord is wrong, Then everything in the world will be reversed and cease to exist.
Such a nonsensical spoof movie subverts traditional ideas, and it is no wonder that it has been criticized by religious people. But behind the various funny language in the movie, the original belief foundation has not been erased. There is such a kind of wisdom and philosophy hidden in people's subconscious. God is a woman here, and Jesus is a black man. I am afraid that the devout believers will not be able to accept it. They can look at it with cold eyes. Bethany, an abortion doctor in the film, lost her faith when she was infertile and abandoned by her lover. "God's own arrangement" is such a nice sentence, but why can't it hear my prayers when it is the most helpless. Faith disappeared little by little, and mankind finally chose to give up. Perhaps it is the ruthless cruelty that adds up a little bit in reality, and it is also the high reverence for the gods, and all the guilt is blamed for the lack of God's blessing. It seems that in the eyes of most people, it is easier said than done to give up the belief in the heart, but they often ignore that belief itself is an ethereal thing. All the shield swords point in unpleasant directions, and things that have no substance are even more vulnerable, they can easily be stabbed and shattered, and their disappearance is far less difficult than people think. On the other hand, angels, where can there be a choice, serving God is the destiny of life. Bartleby probably changed from here. God is too merciful to human beings, and it is too unfair to angels who make a little mistake and suffer. The mad slaughter at the end also has an explanation.
The director put on a formal coat for such a film, and it seems ridiculous, but it's not just a joke that he mentions throughout. At the beginning when the archangel talked about God, he said that he is a lonely man, but also very humorous. In such a film full of jokes, those arguments have become less rebellious, and they follow the original intention of believing in God, which has not changed and is enough to explain everything. A religious farce, in the form of comedy, can be traced back to the confusion of religion. The last descendant of God did not believe in the existence of God; the angels who tried their best to stop the killing were banished to the world; the Muses who did not want to participate in the war were condemned to hell; the thirteen disciples were ignored because of discrimination... .Even so, the people who are praying every day still continue, and the crowds other than that may just use this as an after-dinner talk, no different.
The fallen angel said that the characteristics of human beings are: a conscience and a short life. Why do we exist? God just naughty tapped Bethany's nose when answering the question. Maybe everyone has doubts, and I am no exception. And when Bethany finally learned that she was pregnant, she said that now her faith is overflowing, and it may be because of love. Religion is an abstract thing, but it is concrete because it is endowed with belief. There are religious and non-religious people in the world, and there is no specific standard to measure who is right and who is wrong. But there should always be such a place in everyone's heart to face the reality, and only then will they realize that there is no fear because of the light. Perhaps this is just a very simple truth at all. The trajectory of what is going to happen in reality is unpredictable, so we are given a free soul hidden in the body, and beliefs take root here without any scruples, let it be. Be our weapon against darkness. It is invisible, but it really exists, what is there? As long as you know that it is always in that place, there will always be such a powerful force to support you, probably this is the most perfect existence.

    No matter how dazzling Alan Rickman is, and no matter how big the cards of Matt Damon and Ben Affleck are, they can't hide the invincible Jay and Silent Bob!

    Such an invincible film actually only has a score of 7.2, #this is not scientific#, at least 9.2, whoever sees it knows. . .
