    Nice idea. The Greek Demetrius followed the tribune Marcellus to Jerusalem, where he happened to meet the master Jesus who was sent to death and the traitor Judas betrayed, so he evolved from a "Roman slave" to a "Jesus slave". Peter, who "denied Jesus three times," successfully turned against Marcellus, who "crucified Jesus with his own hands." The team is...

    But resistance, fighting, and martyrdom always make one's blood boil. The face of the Messiah did not appear, and Judas said, "For men are weak, full of envy and cowardice, and they know the truth but cannot practice it." The tribune's plea before his death is wonderful: My king, does not need a...

    Religious film, bringing believers back to the events of Christ and revisiting the martyrdom scene in the four Gospels. The conversion scenes of various gods are naturally resonated by believers, while others are full of black lines. The plot intertwines the two clues of the Roman court situation and grassroots cult, which are familiar to Western audiences, in a precise and ingenious manner. Tiberius' sentence "The yearning for freedom is the greatest madness of mankind, I sent a madman, he is...

    The wide screen of the film and television war, the slogan for the new format "no need to wear glasses to enjoy modern miracles", this sarcastic remark about the 3D technology at that time quickly spread through the streets. It does seem to be different from the current true widescreen, anamorphic lenses and film compression are still lossy...

    The first anamorphic widescreen movie released in film history was launched by Fox. In the 1950s, in order to cope with the huge impact of television on movies, major companies developed new technologies one after another, hoping to use the widescreen to match the epic scenes created by the film. The high-quality audio-visual enjoyment pulls the audience back to the theater again. During this period, various religious epic films were flooded, and aesthetic fatigue was inevitable under the...

    The overall score is 7 points. It is a good religious film. Although the interest is not high, I still watch it without killing the urine. Moreover, some scenes in this film are indeed well shot, but I feel that this kind of religious film has been filmed over and over again. Pretty much the same, Hollywood made too many religious movies in the 1950s. Moreover, the stage play style of this film is a bit serious, and the transformation of the male protagonist is not so natural, at least I don't...

    The BD repair is not bad. Although the religious nature is strong, it is very visible. Jesus has never shown his face in this...

    Appreciation of the film should focus on its wide-screen composition and audiovisual composition that made the audience refreshing at the time. However, as the first wide-screen film, we can also get aesthetic enjoyment from the film's play structure, screen image depiction and open space and time. The film's play and narrative structure draws on the composition of fugues and symphonies, consisting of a prologue, an epilogue, and four distinct narrative...

The Robe quotes

  • Marcipor: To be a slave in this household is an honor.

    Demetrius: [disdainfully] To be a slave anywhere is to be a dog.

  • Marcellus Gallio: [after learning that Caligula has posted him to a back-water military command far away from Rome] Where's Jerusalem?

    Sen. Gallio: Palestine - the worst pesthole in the Empire. They're stiff-necked, riotous people, always on the verge of rebellion. Our Legions there are the scum of the army - the officers little better than the men. Disease takes them off like flies. Some have been assassinated - sometimes by their own men. Others have spared the assassins the trouble. What Caligula hopes he has given you is your death sentence.
