Angels are on earth

Author: Zhang Jian

What would an imaginary God look like? In the Western conception, there should be a gentleman who is polite, wears a suit and shoes, and is serious and silent. The Jade Emperor, equivalent to China, is naturally dressed in a luxurious and solemn official uniform, in charge of the life and death of all things in the world. There is unlimited power and unlimited responsibility—all the difficulties of the believers on earth are given to Heaven. Therefore, he should be merciful, rich, generous, dignified, and boundless in mana, and able to satisfy all the demands of the world—if he wants to.

The film Super New Testament, also known as The Little Angel Eya, creates an unexpected image of God for us: he is rough, powerless, bored, selfish, sloppy, likes to create tragedies for strangers, and deliberately creates abnormal laws of life to show his control over human destiny. He was ruthless and unreasonable, and beat up his son, who fled to the human world and never wanted to return home, but in fact his son was Jesus, who became a statue of Jesus and stood on the closet of his house. Ignore your wife and act without a word. His wife saw him silent, and every day she did not dare to ask anything but wear a nightgown to do housework. The lovely daughter Yiya can't touch his love, and the family is violent, and the skin whip must beat her out of the shadow of her childhood. This god has a beard, is half bald, smokes and drinks, wears a loose T-shirt and big pants, is often drunk, and if he walks down the road, you will definitely treat him as a hangover unemployed uncle.

But he is indeed a God-figure! It's just that the whimsical design is refreshing.

This God, who governs the blessings and deaths of the world, turns out that he only relies on a computer to control the program, just like we do now: he sits in front of the computer, with a cigarette in his mouth, his eyes staring at the screen, clicking with the mouse, typing with the keyboard. Every day, when God is working, he will open the chamber of secrets and enter a large archive room, one by one, layer by layer, which is the biographical file of each person. God holds a mouse, but He is very tired of his inherent work, so from time to time he deliberately causes some car accidents or accidental injuries, and when he sees walls collapsing, planes crashing, trains derailed, waves choking, and people who are overwhelmed, God is happy to dance...

One day, the youngest daughter, Taking advantage of his absence, sneaked into his studio, opened his computer, and saw all the cruel human pictures—all the fun her father had deliberately created. Iya was particularly angry and hated her father even more. Public accusations at the dinner table angered the father, God beat her up, the wife did not dare to say much dissuasion, and watched her daughter suffer domestic violence.

The statue of Jesus wasted no time in reviving and began instructing his sister Eya on how to fight against her father.

The battered daughter is determined to resist.

While his father was asleep drunk, Iya stole his key, entered his workshop, and began to make trouble, completely challenging God's authority.

Iya sends the date of people's deaths to everyone's mobile phones through the computer, and the people who receive the message initially think it is a prank, and no one takes it seriously. Soon, the prophecy was verified: the information that could not live today would definitely not come to tomorrow. When a young man discovered that he had reached the age of 102, he fearlessly challenged common sense: he jumped from a tall building without protection, only to be killed by a passerby; he jumped down from the plane and landed on the wide wings of another flying plane. When people know the date of their death, the habitual cowards are no longer bound by the psychology; the faithful victims of marriage no longer struggle; the seekers of love no longer hesitate... People can surrender to Death, but they can provoke God! Everything is messed up. People behave with some scruples because they are afraid of death. Now that the date of death is clear, everything has changed.

It turns out that once there is no bottom line of death, people even dare to provoke God. Seeing this, I suddenly remembered the issue of the death penalty in the criminal law. Some experts discuss the abolition of the death penalty, if there is no bottom line of the death penalty, will there be fearless offenders like in this movie? When the time comes, the God who makes the law will not be helpless!

When He woke up, he found that the key was lost, the computer password could not be opened, and his daughter Yiya was missing. He looked at the human world and was astonished: the war stopped, the factories stopped working, people changed the trajectory of their lives...

God is furious! The human world he was firmly in control no longer feared God, and people began to live according to their own wishes. God's authority was challenged like never before, and His wrath could be imagined.

Iya escapes her father and comes to earth through the drum of her family's drum washing machine. When she climbed into the roller, she entered a time and space passage, and crawled out of the human world that was free to breathe. She wants to collect the tears of affection of 6 people to change the tyrannical and irrational rules of God. She was going to write a New Testament and recreate the rules of the world.

She is in the human world, looking for goals in turn.

And his father, the Almighty God, had to climb into the drum in order to find Eya, struggling to climb out of a washing machine in a human laundry room, scaring the employees into disillusionment.

God came to earth and His awkward journey began. He was beaten by a crowd of homeless people; he was interrogated by the police without an ID card; he could not spell and was choked by the lake... It turned out that leaving his position, the rule-maker God, who had unlimited power, now, was nothing, even chased and bitten by stray dogs.

God's wife, Eathyam's mother, was alone at home. The original portrait of Jesus and the twelve disciples hanging in the house, at this time the number of portraits miraculously became eighteen, it turned out that it was the touching tears of true feelings collected by her daughter Iya in the human world. Whenever one is successfully collected, a person is automatically added to the portrait of her home, plus the original twelve disciples of Jesus, for a total of eighteen people. Perhaps the most nostalgic for the beautiful years of eighteen, in short, eighteen is her favorite auspicious number, rekindling her pink girlish heart, and a beautiful smile blooms on her face. So she walked into God's workshop, restarted God's computer, changed all the rules set by the original God, and turned the human world and the sky into a romantic and beautiful appearance full of flowers.

The rules lapse, the set time of death is invalidated, and the world cheers.

Woman, it turns out that your love is curious, beautiful and warm can change the world! Mother Angel and Daughter Angel changed the world together!

Re-watching the movie in March 8, I suddenly felt the power of the woman's awakening. Maybe this movie doesn't have any special meaning, but the benevolent see the wise and the wise see the wise, is this an alternative gentle proposition of feminism?

In short, the human world with female participation is more beautiful and peaceful. The cars of soybeans and peanuts on the country roads exude a seductive fragrance.
