It can be said that the story of "Focus" focuses on the process of a group of journalists persevering in exposing the church based on conscience. Regarding the internal problems of the Catholic Church, it is only the tip of the iceberg of pastor's molestation and sodomy. The "Club of Priests" focuses more on exposing the dark side of these clergy and even inside the church. In addition to child molestation and sodomy, they also abuse alcohol, gambling (dog racing), child trafficking, child abuse, and sheltering criminals. Let priests respond positively to these allegations, but based on their actions and actions in the film, people can basically confirm the authenticity of these allegations. The clergy were supposed to bring the light of God to earth, but just as light has a dark side, what would have happened if their hearts were not as open as we thought?
"The Club of Priests" reveals the prevalent child molester imagination in Catholicism even more deeply. Through the accusations of mentally unstable men, we see how these priests lure young orphaned boys step by step. In a circle.
"They started touching their dicks, masturbating by rubbing the foreskin back and forth until the semen came out; they also molested us, they pierced our anus and said we were supposed to be virgins until we got married, so anal piercing is The only way; put my dick in our mouth, because I'm small and my mouth is not as big as a priest's dick, so sometimes it hurts", "He also said that if I swallowed semen, I would go straight to heaven , because the semen of priests is holy, it comes from the glory of God, and the Lord Jesus was born through the semen of God." These filthy, blunt lines are deliberately avoided in "Focus" because people who grow up do not I am willing to talk about the details of their violations, but in "The Priest Club", this man who is somewhat mentally disordered, word by word, all the words, the glory of God has become the semen of the priest, and the path through the glory is is to swallow them.
This deranged man repeatedly emphasized to the two pastors that he was not gay, but a normal man who lived a normal sex life. But in the film, when the naked girl tries to tease him, he can't finish sex with her. He wants the naked girl to stick her hand in her asshole, and the naked girl finally lets him get out. He was afraid to admit that he was gay, but he really couldn't be a straight man. When he presided over the confession at the church he came to the Vatican, he said that the priest who died was his first man, the man he fell in love with deeply and madly, the first man he had sex with, and from this priest, he For the first time, I experienced deep love, but the pastor abandoned him. Did the pastor end up looking for other little boys? We have no way of knowing. But we know that this poor man was abandoned by the priest like a lover who was no longer favored, a toy with no freshness.
How does it feel to be abandoned by someone who raised you, had sex around the clock, and made you fall in love? The resentment and despair that we could not imagine and experience flooded into his heart, causing him to behave and mentally scramble. Is he getting revenge? However, he did not win in the end, and he was still the victim in the end.
Four priests came to this sanctuary with different charges. No one here knows their sins, and no one judges them. For them, it is already a heavenly existence. Want to close this shelter. So they lied to each other, shielded each other, and tried to cheat and escape. The audience originally thought that the church presiding and everyone in the shelter were opposites, and that their existence was a dramatic conflict. Unexpectedly, there was another reversal at the end. When the abnormal man asked him, "When was the last time you ejaculated?" Have you ever had sex with a little boy?" he laughed awkwardly, we don't know if he did, but in order to keep the dark side of Catholicism, in order to seal these secrets in this sanctuary, he and others The priest planned a new sin.
Covering a lie with another lie, even the clergy cannot escape these weaknesses and dark sides of human nature. The story of The Club of Priests is truly horrific, almost fatally critical of Catholicism. The so-called clergy are just ordinary people hiding under the church.
The appearance of such a film, of course, can win the Silver Bear Award for Best Picture at the Berlin Film Festival. Not only because director Pablo Larrain is too daring to film and tell stories, but also because such a theme can reflect the "democracy" of the West.
Criticizing Catholicism has also become politically correct in recent years, so everything from "The Da Vinci Code", "Focus" to this "Club of Priests" has received a great response and a high box office. Probably the worst is in Catholicism, after all, religion and democracy are themselves opposites, religion exists to control (or even fool) people, and when people realize that they can speak freely against religion, they are free to introduce religion Right and wrong, light and darkness, the decline of religion begins. Presumably this is the reason why the church director from the Vatican finally decided to keep the secrets in the sanctuary. If these secrets are made public, Catholicism is basically at risk.
Democracy basically kills Catholicism indirectly. So many anti-Christian movies have been made, and they are all well done, and they have won awards to increase the audience, making people more and more suspicious of God, and of the darkness and darkness within Catholicism. Chaos is even more dissatisfied. Why is ISIS a problem? Why is Muslim culture now a stealth bomb in the Western world? That is because these traditional countries that believed in Catholicism have now rebelled one after another, but no one has made anti-Islamic films, because countries that believe in Islam are all supporting this religion (most of them have no democracy, no choice), As a result, the number of staunch believers in Islam has already devoured Catholicism, which is somewhat self-reliant. But if a religion is really good enough, then the films "Focus" and "Club of Priests" will not appear. There can be light when there is darkness, and reflection when there is reality.
As the gay priest in the film puts it: "At first they said gays were the children of the devil, then they said God created us." It's not just religion, but our perception of sin is constantly changing. Maybe one day, when everyone starts to do evil without knowing it, we will return to the embrace of God and religion; but it is also possible that we have really eliminated the dark side of all human nature, and have good intentions and kindness ourselves and others, then we will no longer need the light of God at that time.
