In the film, the nun does not allow Miss Shepherd to play the piano, and the leader forces her to hate music, yes, not only giving up, but also disgusting. But the reality is, how can a man hate something he was born to love? This kind of coercion is a distortion of human nature and a slaughter of people's hearts. Instead of making Miss Shepherd happy again, it made her fall into hopeless pain. She thought that the God the bishop said was her hope, but that God brought her real hopelessness! Remember the confession she made to Alan before she died? Music is the whole passion of her life, and that is her hope. And all the obstacles that try to extinguish this hope are her hopelessness.
Religion is a channel invented by human beings to serve the heart of human beings. There is no right or wrong in itself. Whether it exerts a beneficial influence or a harmful influence is entirely up to the person who uses it.
Miss Shepherd, who puts all her hope in her God, prays daily for Mass, hoping to change the status quo through her thoughts. But in reality, if there is only thought and no action, nothing will change. If you do something wrong, you should correct it, and if you feel guilty, you should make up for it. There is no point in punishing yourself unnecessarily. All she needs to do is go to the police station, see a psychiatrist (she has no mental problems, but she has psychological problems. Not letting go is her biggest problem.), and continue to love her music.
