I originally came from mountains, rivers, lakes and seas, but I was confined by ignorance and insipidity

If you knew the time of your death, what would you do for the rest of your life? ——The inscription

turns out that God really exists, but he is a "scumbag".

The movie "Super New Testament" is another fantasy novel from the genius director Jacques van Dommel, this time, he has a joke with God.

God is a greedy and violent man who advocates evil and loves to tease people. He has a wife, but the wife never dares to resist him. God has a son named Jesus, but Jesus was turned into a stone statue by God because of his preaching of truth, goodness and beauty. God also has a young daughter, but she dislikes her father's behavior very much. It happens that Jesus told her that as long as six disciples are gathered in the human race, God can be defeated, so she decides to teach "God" a lesson.

Human beings are created by God, and at the same time, people's life and death are also controlled by God. On this day, God's little daughter sent a message to everyone, the above is the time of their death. People thought it was a prank, but when one person after another died according to the corresponding death time, everyone began to have their own thoughts and ideas in their hearts... At this time, the daughter of God has come to the world and started A journey to find disciples.

The first disciple she found was a beautiful young woman. But she lost her left arm in an accident when she was young, and her beautiful appearance often attracted disrespect from men, which made her gradually lose the courage to face life, and she began to close herself in her lonely world. . Once, she met a homeless man who told her: life is like an ice skating rink, and wrestling is inevitable. This sentence evoked a softness in her icy heart. Alienation, distrust, and self-closure have made her overly defensive about life. When she met the daughter of God, she finally opened up her frozen heart and finally found her own happiness. .

The second disciple was an office worker, but in his heart, he always wanted to be an adventurer. Having lived in a cramped life for a long time, he was extremely disappointed with his current life after learning the time of his death. He stopped in a corner of the park, and a bird with not broad wings flew in front of him, and he began to despair. Because everyone can't change the size of the real life circle, but life at the cost of losing freedom can make people depressed. The daughter of God understood what he was thinking, so she told the man: Why stop at the park if you can fly freely? Finally, he packed his bags and followed the bird to the distant Arctic Circle, where he started the adventurous life he had longed for since he was a child.
The
third disciple was a self-proclaimed "sex maniac". When he was young, he saw a lightly dressed and beautiful woman, and from then on, he had a desire for "female beauty" from his heart. This desire stemming from exuberant hormones is not ashamed to him. He believes that beauty is different, and desire for the opposite sex is not dirty. When he knew that the time of his death was not far away, he decided to spend all his belongings to the land of wind and moon to vent his desires. But it is precisely because of this temperament that he has never found a satisfactory object. The daughter of God caught sight of his loneliness and suggested that he find a job that was both good and decent. So, the pornographer accepted a job for dubbing an adult film, and it was because of this job that he met the beautiful woman he had a crush on when he was young again, and they finally chose to be together. And this erotic maniac not only satisfied his desire for "beauty", but also gained a beautiful love.
The
fourth disciple is a killer who believes that killing is his innate mission. When death was approaching, he decided to satisfy his murderous desire even more frantically. Although he is defined by God as "the one with whom he spends his life, not the one he loves," the daughter of God wants him to feel a true love. By chance, the target of his killing was the first disciple with a prosthetic limb. Not only did his bullet not kill her, but the two still fell in love with each other after contact, and the killer's twisted psychology also changed. From killing to being loved, while embracing his lover, he also began to learn to embrace life.

The fifth disciple was a distressed woman. When she told her husband that she had only five years to live, she found that her husband, who had 39 years left, was relieved. The daughter of God heard her cry and took her to the circus. As a result, the chimpanzee in the circus gave her an intense and passionate love that she had never experienced before. This woman has a thorough understanding of her married life, so she bravely abandoned her current marriage and chose to live with the orangutan who loves her deeply.
The
sixth disciple was a little boy. He was frail and sick since childhood, and the rest of his life was the shortest, so he decided to try to be a girl in the future, and hoped to die by the sea. When the date of death came, and the daughter of God and several other disciples were with him by the sea, they hugged each other, wept, and cuddled with each other, when the news that people received the time of death disappeared. Because God's wife changed the set procedures after her husband left, eliminated the misfortunes in the world, and exchanged freedom for human beings themselves.

In fact, these six disciples are just the epitome of people in reality. In the past, they seemed to be living under the arrangement of God, but in fact they did not have the courage to change their lives. However, when people know the time of their own death, God's rights collapse. Since they can already see the future, why not cherish the present life? For the matter of living, after death is a long nothingness.

So, who is God? Who are we? The film finally gives a pleasant answer to this question.

God is the answer to human beings in the face of unsolved problems. It gives us courage and strength, expectation and direction. An ideal God should not be the existence that dominates people's thoughts, but it will keep hope alive, so that we will not be defeated by life, and always think that happiness is in the clouds.

And "we" are the masters of our own lives. The people in the movie begin to face the greatness of living only when they know their own life span. At this time, no amount of trouble can become a fetter, because everyone has solved the biggest mystery hidden in themselves, and no longer cares about the God who lives in the clouds. Rather than witnessing the dying life, it is better to pursue the happiness that is still too late.

Don't always think that we can't change anything. How to live life? Only you know the answer to this question.

In fact, there will always be a balance in life, and you can only work and rest when you stop and go. As for me, if possible, use 2/3 of the time to earn money to support the family, and the remaining 1/3 to the unfinished want to go.
