    I don't know which one is more difficult to give birth to a virgin or a white snake, but I do know that this is Pasolini's best movie because there is not a single actor in it that is so outstanding that the eyes can't be seen... Also It's a heterochromatic director, why is Pasolini so different from...

    Can't believe it's a Pasolini movie for Salo! What a normal piece, I almost fell...

    From here I know that the lyrics of Woodstock's opening song "Freedom" come from the 19th century black slave gospel Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child; religious films made by atheists turned out to be more faithful to the New Testament than any religious film, maybe Behind the naturalism, Pasolini still hides his political and religious views in...

    The images of the scriptures reproduce everything about Jesus. / I like the soundtrack in it. It is also used in Bach's "Matthew Passion" and Lao Tower's...

    It is more faithful to the "Gospel of Matthew", and even the dialogues and Jesus' sermons are the original texts of the Bible (so you should prepare a "Bible" when you read it)! - But where are the so-called communist colors of those comments? (Today, I was shocked to hear that Agamben played a small role in it......

    2029-10-25 Re-read; a theistic work shot by a Marxist is actually so majestic, the fanaticism and the way of preaching are like reflections in the world, praise God for casting, not only Christ like the man in the picture , the group performance is also brilliant, deeply showing what is the great beauty and the great evil in the world - every wrinkle, every look is blended into the joys and sorrows of historical evolution. The lines of the Gospels are reproduced almost as they are. The lines are

    8.0 Believe it! Human "faces" are "energy fields" with different radiation ranges. It's all about two polarities, the sun, the mountains, the house, and the environment are used to measure the energy of the face, and the face of Jesus dominates the faces of people in the environment, the messengers, the Virgin, the believers, and all living beings. There is no religious movie that non-believers can't feel, as long as we believe, this energy can be...

    Pasolini's fourth feature film, 1964 Venice Special Jury Prize. This film can be compared with Lao Ma [The Last Temptation of Christ]. The former is a biography of Jesus shot by atheists that is completely faithful to the biblical text, while the latter is the most deviant interpretation of Jesus composed by devout Christians. Equally great. Black-and-white images, poetic photography, high-quality casting, and excellent soundtrack (mixed with Bach, Mozart's blues, spiritual, and sacred music)....

    Simplicity is strength is beauty

    Critics say the film has an implicit left-wing communist leaning, and if so, it's the earliest proto-communism. Even so, the label feels nondescript. At its heart, Pasolini is just very simple, trying his best to restore a true portrait of Jesus that he thinks is the most faithful. He didn't want a...

    [Film Review] The Gospel According to St. Matthew (1964) 8.0/10

    Another screening of the Italian Film Master Retrospective in Shanghai, a cinematic pilgrimage of Pasolini's third feature, THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO ST. MATTHEW, a very literal visual re-interpretation of the titular gospel from New Testament.

    Shot in neo-realismo style, in locations of Barile,...
