Is the script good? maybe. They hold the title of Oscar for Best Original Screenplay. Is the plot very good? not necessarily. Halfway through, I thought I was discussing the human nature of a pastor serving in a lifeless church crowded out by capital; discussing how he preached and helped people answer various life problems every day, but in the end I only found myself pouring chicken soup in a high-sounding way. There was also an abyss behind him, only to find that he didn't really live in this world; to explore how his body deteriorated and he persisted in the way of God. I would say, ah, good, this is what I want to see. Maybe I have no religious background, so I can't see any key points. Halfway later, I discovered that this is an environmentally friendly film. Taking Michael as the starting point, Toller rethinks what mankind has done to the earth, and then thinks about whether Dige will really forgive mankind. Towards the end of the film, I thought it was a horror movie again, thinking that the fruitless priest prepares to burn the jade and the stone, and find salvation in sublimation. In the end it turned out to be a romantic movie, Mary appeared again, and Toller's name appeared for the first time. Ernest, who was about to die, immediately melted and broken. Only after broken can we find peace! At this point, I understand, the film still returns to the pastor's tangled humanity thinking, because under the black clothes are soft thorns.
