The Gospel According to St. Matthew Reviews

    the director said

    The Gospel of Matthew is an ordinary black-and-white film made in the 1960s, but it is widely regarded as one of Pasolini's most successful, poetic, semiotic, and neorealist films. 1. It is also one of the most unique and insightful works in the history of the film to express the life of Jesus...

    Why save mankind, why should mankind be redeemed?

    Other creatures killed, or hunted, would not get unexpected food such as cake fish at all, and no gods would help them keep them from entering their mouths. If they can't get over the fire, can't outrun the water, the whole race will be almost wiped out. Can the weakest human beings gather to cheat...

    Evidence of a Marxist Interpretation

    I looked through the existing reviews, and I didn't find any mention of this. On the contrary, many people expressed their confusion as to how this film could have anything to do with Marxism. Look at the following passage from the original text of the Bible: 16 A man came to Jesus and asked,...

    absolute rationality

    There is only rationality in the world, and those seemingly emotional actions are only because the existing logic and language cannot describe the reasons, and the trillions of neurons in the human brain have already made judgments. Therefore, those sensibilities are only rationalities yet to be...

    Jesus' look back

    First shot: Jesus looks back with tears in his eyes, the clatter of the donkey's hooves.

    Second shot: The water is sparkling, and Jesus is walking on the sea. Peter yells, if it's really you, please let me go!

    heretics have no religion

    On a black and white poster of Matthew's Gospel, St. John is kissing Jesus' face affectionately. In this fixed frame, the image of the Son of God is refreshing - not "splendid", and it seems that it is not enough to "illuminate the people of all nations." It is not like the ascetic on the religious...

    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...

    "He was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and like a sheep before its shearers, he was silent. So he did not open his mouth." (Isaiah 53:7)

    The beginning of the second part of Schwartz's "Pasolini" is unusual. He spent a lot of time writing about Pasolini's mother, Suzanne's family, the "Colucci family", but he did not mention his father's family history. At the end of the section, it is written about Pasolini's parents' wedding. At...

    white and trace

    As far as images are concerned, I have always considered Matthew to be one of the coolest and purest religious films in film history, with the exception of Dreyer's Joan of Arc, which is rarely on the right. In comparison, even the crucifixion of Jesus in Tarkovsky's "Andrei Ruflev" shows too much...

    "Sower" of the pagans

    The meaning of the film—[The Pagan "Sower"] Such a work that is not the sowing of the gospel is just a record of the best efforts of a director who does not believe in God: there is no praise, no deliberate emphasis, such a work begins to make those who are accustomed to it. Those who "shut up and...
