A crapehanger's humor

Scream Of The Ants 心靈印記

Short synopsis:This film narrates an atheist and his wife, a believer, are in India for their honeymoon and try to look for the Complete Man and the truth, which is apparently the reason the woman wanted to visit India.

簡短摘要 :這部電影敘述一對新婚夫妻去印度尋找完人與真理的故事。

I've never seen this movie before. However, after I found the following dialogue, which seems reasonable but still hilarious, I can't help to stop and wonder what if this is the damn truth we're all looking for? A Shit Universe? lol

這部電影我沒看過。不過，在發現以下讓我覺得"好像有道理，但是又覺得好笑"的ㄧ段電影對白，不禁讓我停下來思考 : 如果這真的就是那個我們都在尋找的該死真理呢?ㄧ個狗屎宇宙? XD

[.......There is a monologue spoken by a German tourist to one of the protagonists, the male half of an Iranian couple visiting India. With a goofy smile and a deadpan voice that suggests he’s spent much time passively inhaling whatever it is the Hindoo sadhoos smoke, this character directly addresses the camera and tells us that the universe is full of shit raining down on everyone. Different faiths, he explains, have different ways of dealing with this shit. The Catholics say,“Shit happens.”The Protestants say, “The other guy is responsible for the shit.” The Muslims say “The shit is the Will of Allah.”The Jews go,“Why, oh why, is all the shit falling only on us? The Buddhists reply, “But there is no shit.” And the Japanese Zen masters whisper, “Listen closely and you will hear the sound of shit falling.” .......]

在這對夫妻找到了所謂的"完人"之後,苦行僧所告訴他們的哲理。苦行僧說 : 這宇宙簡直是狗屎，那些狗屎不是固定不動的，狗屎不斷掉到你頭上，它是個過程，不斷有狗屎出現，而你就是會碰到一堆狗屎，為此，在不同文化中，會有不同解釋，例如天主教徒會說：「你自找的。」基督徒會說：「讓它落到別人頭上吧。」回教徒會說：「這是阿拉的意旨。」猶太教徒會說：「為什麼老是我們倒楣？」佛教徒會說：「其實那不是狗屎。」日本的禪宗會說：「去聽那狗屎落下的聲音。」但這些都只是理論，只是一些人想出來安慰別人的方法，讓人在不斷的霉運中，還能繼續活下去。

The Complete Man is a humorous crapehanger, so I decide to denominate this speech " A Shit Universe Theory."

這個苦行僧真是個幽默的悲觀者，我決定將他說的這段命名為「宇宙狗屎說」。
