This is a classic story. The first thing to be sure is that this is just a film work, not a missionary tool, so there is no need to resist before watching the film, all the film does is tell a story. And this is not an ordinary story. It is a story that has been passed down for thousands of years. Time has proved the value of this story. I think everyone should read the works that have accumulated over time. The Bible is one of the greatest works. I have never read the Bible systematically, and blessed are those who, like me, know its value but have not had the opportunity to savour it. Before watching this movie, my understanding of the story was fragmented, learning from English textbooks that the Virgin Mary gave birth to Jesus; learning about the Last Supper and the traitor Judas from Leonardo da Vinci paintings; walking into The church learned the meaning of the cross; the conflict between Jews and Christianity from World War II; and the story of Jesus returning from the dead from Easter... This film connects all of my fragmented knowledge, and vividly before our eyes. Many of the mysteries that were previously for me have finally been solved. This is the source of culture. The purpose of watching this film is actually very simple, that is, to understand the cultural background of European and American countries. The Bible is the source of many allusions in European and American languages and cultures. Many European and American works today, whether it is movies or books, are inseparable from their biblical culture. We live in a society that communicates so quickly and cultures merge so quickly that knowing the stories of the Bible is really helpful for us to read about their cultures. Then most of the time we don't have the time and energy to study the Bible, or can't understand the Bible, so watching this movie is obviously a good shortcut. The screenwriter and director of this film must have read this biblical story a hundred times. For those who have not read the Bible, it can be said that they are standing on the shoulders of giants who know and deeply understand this story. Why Americans attach so much importance to Easter, we can easily feel it in the movie; why the Jews were killed during World War II, we can also find the answer through the movie; why Leonardo da Vinci's Last Supper is so popular... …the cultural context of all these historical events and works of art is presented. This is a living history book. Of course, the Bible is not only a religious work, but also a history book, a history book in which the characters are deified. It is also a good choice to experience the history of that time through the stories of the Bible. In the era of Julius Caesar, the unity of state and religion was an indisputable fact. In the detailed development of the film, we can also see that people at that time were living in dire straits. The phenomenon of church dictatorship caused the people It was terrible, and it was this kind of suffering that gave birth to a character like Jesus. Regardless of religion and deification, if Jesus really existed in history at that time, then he must be a man of great wisdom. It was because of his great wisdom that people were willing to follow him. He saw the suffering of the people and challenged the autocratic church at that time, thus making enemies with the church and causing killing. This is actually a living history book, a history worthy of careful study and reflection. In short, I have long hoped to understand the Bible through film and television works. It is not like the obscure old English. Movies can help us understand, and this Son of God has completed its task very well. But no matter what, it is still the same sentence, any book that has accumulated over time is worth our time to study. After watching the movie, if you have the opportunity and energy to study the Bible, you should also gain a lot.
