难得一见的宗教惊悚神剧展示了一个我等神棍很熟悉的套路:凡事都有经文做注脚的敬虔外衣和宏大叙事之下常识和正义一点点被扭曲直至隐秘的罪恶彻底失控关于自由意志、神义论、怀疑、苦难、救赎、死亡的讨论都惊人地严肃真诚且富有诗意并且形象地传达了"you are what you worship"这一至理得知弗拉纳根成长于还算愉快的天主教环境神秘的房间曾经做过12年的辅祭后成为不可知论者就不意外了这显然是对真实信仰中的美善、黑暗与奥秘有敏锐细致的观察和深沉激烈的个人体验才可能产生的作品只是两边不讨好信徒没有理解障碍但是会觉得自己被这剧黑得吼惨充满了白左偏见;左派影迷却吐槽说自己的感情被欺骗了本片简直过多呈现了正统信仰的美感但这不正是有意思之处嘛人生中哪来那么多非此即彼大多数人都在两难中苟着总之是去年最佳了
Great art collapses the time and space that separates us from its moment of creation. It made us reimagine the world and ourselves in countless unanticipated ways.The rush of emotion that can connects us with the enduring and the profound.Those thing spring less from the officious demands of state and the status hunger of the rich, than they do from the unruly urges of gifted artists to make something for everyone, as unmistakable evidence of the best things our species is capable of creating, things have been made by the liberated thought, the acute vision, and the unquenchable creative fire of our shared humanity.
