I can especially understand the pain in the hearts of believers when the protagonist announces that he is not the Pope at the end of the film. Yes, when a woman's child is taken away what is left of her, when a man's soul is gone, what is left of him, he has nothing, he is in pain, anxious, crying, trembling, unable to control himself... Then I found out that I was still alive, what should I do?
In fact, the director is very tolerant of religion, and there is no irony or humor. Religion only plays a background role in this film, and the male protagonist just happens to be the chosen one. This is a modern movie that describes modern people. The male protagonist is a typical modern person. He just happens to be at a sensitive point in this society. The director's male protagonist is not this person, but the lack of this person, that is "God's Absence".
The main part of the movie is the escape process of the male protagonist. The director did not directly ask him to refuse the mission, but tried to teach people how to resist fear and live a normal life in the process of being a modern person. This is the director's good intentions. . He shows us that we can stand silently and patiently in God's absence. Yes, to live is to wait for the coming of God. Isn't that what Jesus did back then?
When the host announced "the Pope is born" on the balcony, the so-called Pope has disappeared, but he is right, because the real Pope has been born, God is everywhere, everyone is the Pope, Heaven and Hell Under the balcony, on the ground. So at the end of the film, people cried, it was grief, and it was also gratitude. The God in the grateful heart was finally born in the world, and I received the blessing of God-Is this true, am I really so lucky, just like Hongyi before his death Feelings, their hearts are "mixed with joy and sorrow".
The seventh angel blows his trumpet, and John hears a voice from heaven proclaiming, "The kingdoms of the world become the kingdoms of our Lord and of the Lord Christ." Before this, sinners were destroyed by fire at the sound of the trumpets of the six angels. Sacrifice, the hero's power, status, fame and money are nothing compared to the sins of the world. As a pope, what he sacrificed is actually his life. He is a messenger, a sign, a sign, a sentence. "Word", God let him resign and endure the pain of being nailed to the cross to tell the world, you have to sacrifice!
PS
1. The volleyball part is not a spoof at all. Those pictures are so solemn and elegant, full of vitality, which expresses the director's tolerance to religion and blessing to worldly life.
2. The poster shows the Pope with his hands behind his back. At this moment, he is very like the little boy in "Yiyi", brave and wise.
3. This movie is not a comedy, but a drama. The whole film is full of God's kind eyes, divine blessings, and traces of happiness.
