I watched the movie The Shack (2017). The Japanese title seems to be set as アメイジング・ジャーニー 神の小屋より. And it will come to the theater on September 9th 2017 in Japan.
This movie is based on the nonfiction novel written by a Canadian author. The novel originally was self-published, and later became a USA Today bestseller.
I am not going to tell you the details in order to reserve your fun on watching this movie. I just want to share some of my personal review about this movie.
I loved this movie. The novel is based on Christianity, but in my opinion, you can see the basic idea of spirituality in this movie.
My favorite part is the conversation between the main character and God. For many people who have some traumatic experiences, it is not easy to forgive the bad person who has caused the traumatic events. It is not easy to forgive their deeds.
God tells the main character to make efforts to forgive. It is good to say it out loud “I forgive you.” It will not be easy for the first time, however, repeating this effort (saying it out loud) will eventually make it real (you can eventually feel you can forgive).
As for the judgement feeling toward the bad person, trust God will take care of it. God says “all the actions bear its consequences.”
It resonates with me. It is not my job to judge and punish the people who did bad things to me. Besides, I don’t want to spend my precious time on being vigilante. I prefer to spend my time and energy on something good on myself. I prefer to believe God or Universe will take care of it, to make it fair at the end.
Same logic is applied to the good deeds as well. That is why it is important to keep being kind and nice to other people. Our good deeds in daily life will impact the bigger world.
