Powerful, mesmerizing lines from 'The Tree of Life'

[Poincare]

영화 중반부에 나오는 설교장면의 라인입니다. 보신분들 기억나시죠? father역을 담당했던 배우가 직접 즉흥적으로 지어낸 것이라고 합니다:

"Job imagined he might build his nest on high – that the integrity of his behavior would protect him against misfortune. And his friends thought, mistakenly, that the Lord could only have punished him because secretly he’d done something wrong.

But, no, misfortune befalls the good as well. We can’t protect ourselves against it. We can’t protect our children. We can’t say to ourselves, even if I’m not happy, I’m going to make sure they are.

We vanish as a cloud. We wither as the autumn grass, and like a tree are rooted up.

Is there some fraud in the scheme of the universe? Is there nothing which is deathless? Nothing which does not pass away?

We cannot stay where we are. We must journey forth.

We must find that which is greater than fortune or fate. Nothing can bring us peace but that.

Is the body of the wise man, or the just, exempt from any pain? From any disquietude, from the deformity that might blight its beauty, from the weakness that might destroy its health?

Do you trust in God?

Job, too, was close to the Lord. Are your friends and children your security? There is no hiding place in all the world where trouble may not find you. No one knows when sorrow might visit his house, any more than Job did.

The very moment everything was taken away from Job, he knew it was the Lord who’d taken it away. He turned from the passing shows of time. He sought that which is eternal.

Does he alone see God’s hand who sees that He gives, or does not also the one see God’s hand who sees that He takes away? Does he alone see God who sees God turn His face towards him? Does not also he see God who sees God turn his back?"

그런데, 한국자막을 보니까, 'You'를 전부 '하느님'이라고 번역했더군요. '당신'이라 했으면, 더 포괄적이고 호소력이 컸을텐데요. 이 작품이 어떤 특정 종교를 지향하고 만든것도 아닐텐데...

이 주옥같은 대사들이 다 즉흥적으로 만들어진 거라구요?@.@

[Poincare]

That's what I heard. He came up with the dialog after praying (he himself is a Christian father)!
