The death of Hypatia and the burning of the Library of Alexandria by Christians did not merely delay the progress of human civilization by 1,200 years. . . The elliptical trajectory, which is more perfect than a circle, as the answer she has obtained in her life, cannot illuminate the entire city or the generations behind like a beacon. . . Humans’ pursuit of faith has always become a call to slaughter. Today’s world is not much better than in the...

Although there are dramatic elements, the overall experience of Hypatia is truthfully restored. As a rationalist and a woman, it was inevitable that she would fall victim to that era of religious fanaticism. What moved her most was when she said to a student who was already a bishop: "You can have faith in your faith, but I can't, I have to doubt...

Religious interest and decline are associated with ignorance and scoundrel. Religion, the stumbling block of civilization progress, and the strangler of freedom. God, God, why did you abandon me? Because people only love...

A film worth recommending to everyone, about religion and its misuse, about tolerance and the pursuit of truth, about the social destiny of women and intellectuals. The upside-down moving mirrors (with the sad soundtrack) when destroying the Library of Alexandria are astounding, those scrolls tossed into the air! Rachel Weisz played the role of Hypatia flawlessly, and Oscar Isaac's Governor General was infectious enough. In terms of textual analysis, apart from the dimension of religious...

Heladius Dignitary: The majority of us here... have accepted Christ. Why not the rest of you? It's only a matter of time and you know it.
Hypatia: Really? It is just a matter of time?... As far as I am aware, your God has not yet proved himself to be more just or more merciful than his predecessors. Is it really just a matter of time before I accept your faith?
Heladius Dignitary: Why should this assembly accept the council of someone who admittedly believes in absolutely nothing?
Hypatia: I believe in philosophy.

Hypatia: Ever since Plato, all of them - Aristarchus, Hipparchus, Ptolemy - they have all, all, all tried to reconcile their observations with circular orbits. But what if another shape is hiding in the heavens?
Davus: Another shape? Lady, there is no shape more pure than the circle; you taught us that.
Hypatia: I know, I know, but suppose - just suppose! - the purity of the circle has blinded us from seeing anything beyond it! I must begin all over with new eyes. I must rethink everything!... What if we dared to look at the world just as it is. Let us shed for a moment every preconceived idea - what shape would it show us?
