The best gospel movie, bar none

"The Gospel of Matthew", such a pure gospel movie. It may be said that for a person like me who can only see and feel a little bit of perception, it seems strange on the surface, but it is clear to those who know it, but it does not violate the harmony. 1) When Jesus was born as a baby, the three magi came to worship a child, kissing the feet and giving gifts. It does seem strange from the world. They worship a child, but a king is worthy. 2) Mary and Joseph really acted immediately when they saw the appearance of the angel. In the first half, there were actually a lot of angels appearing. The story seemed magical, but the two of them believed and obeyed. 3) The shock of King Herod killing a child may be that he has little sense of reading words, and holding a knife is really scary. 4) Jesus grew up and preached. Thinking about it, it has only been three years. It’s similar to me now. Anxious, calm on the surface, he kept talking, and the actors wore different clothes for several paragraphs, and I wished to repeat all the golden sentences. Generally speaking, the filming of Matthew's Gospel is very complete. The most creepy thing for me is Bach's music, but it is not used in the crucifixion, which is a bit regrettable. 5) The preaching does not seem to be sitting upright all day long, but preaching as he goes, possibly in a very noisy place, or his own family may not accept it. 6) The chicken didn't crow, there was a gap 7) In fact, some parts of the film were real, and only when they were filmed did they feel real. Sometimes I also felt that it was inhumane. For example, when Peter said that Jesus was the Christ, he let him Don't go to Jerusalem 8) Gethsemane is really good. On the whole, it makes the whole Gospel of Matthew more comprehensive and orthodox. Although people are sometimes "stupid", they just reflect the different endings of the play. psychology. If Bach's Matthew Passion mainly embodies the narration + Jesus + the people "lips are close to me, but the heart is far from me", then "Matthew" is a movie that reflects Jesus more fully.

    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... )

    I haven't read Matthew's Gospel in its entirety. This movie is the best chance to know it. It is faithful to the original text, holy, solemn, and pure (God, all the Medea and Salo I have seen before are so perverted. ...), conveying the most fundamental power of religion. But Jesus even looks so perfect, isn't it too distorted, er, there seems to be something wrong with this statement.

The Gospel According to St. Matthew quotes

  • Christ: Capharnaum, do you hope to be lifted to heaven? You shall fall low as hell.

  • [last lines]

    Christ: All authority in heaven and earth has been given to me. Make disciples of all nations baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son and Holy ghost teaching them to obey all the commandments I have given you. Behold, I am with you always, unto the end of the world.
