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 script, he shot page by page according to the Gospels. The pictures were black and white, documentary-style, but poetic, powerful, and poetic and powerful. Undoubtedly this is one of the weighty contributions to the history of Jesus' interpretation. In some grotesque places, more shots bring moving. I think we also have a movie like this, filming Confucius.
The location was set in one of the poorest parts of Italy, a place... as if outside the river of time. When I saw it, I didn't know where it was, and I thought, ah, where is this! !

    Set your mind for the heaven and earth, and make a biography for the saints. The most faithful biography of Jesus in the "Bible • New Testament", every sentence has a source, every word has its origin.

    Too conservative. The beginning was a startling glance, and the tears could not stop flowing. Once you start preaching, the taste is gone. Strictly speaking, is it love? But it also found the source of Pasolini's later narrative. It's biblical. Divided into place without large rendering. Of course, this is most likely a deviation in the face of Pasolini. Jesus was indeed a great poet. It is indeed a miracle that it has survived to this day. The first few shots were great. 2020/1/30: After knowing those words, you know that you can't move. Completely immobile. Pasolini was lying in the interview. This movie is like a miracle.

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.
