      suffer again

      On and off screen, Karen, the male protagonist who plays Jesus, faces trial. In the play, Jesus is crucified to accept human wrath, and off-screen, Karen is taken to court for destroying facilities in the theater. And the reason he destroyed the facility was because the audition director in the theater wanted the audition actress to strip naked, and he overturned the table angrily. At this time in court, he refused the lawyer's defense, and he refused to defend himself, and he accepted...

      Coveted Quebec

      I saw this film by chance many years ago, and I felt very shocked, because the picture effect is not very good, and it is in English subtitles, some parts are not fully understood, but only some are enough. Not much is known about religion, except that the religious tradition (Catholicism) in Montreal is very strict.
      Because this film began to be interested in Canadian French films, but unfortunately I have seen only a few so far. In addition to this film, I recommend another "August...

      the director said

      This is another film of Denis Argon, known as the "dark horse" of the Canadian film industry, that has attracted the attention of the international film circle after "The Decline of the American Empire".

      Denis Argon studied history at the University of Montreal in his early years. When he was a student, he and two other classmates made a feature film "Lonely or in Groups", which reflected the life of college students in Montreal in the 1960s. That was the era of the rise of...

      Interpretation of Jesus, miracles, apostles in a modern way

      1. The actor who dubbed the erotic movie had a great talent as an actor, but he had to do such a job. Is he not the incarnation of Matthew, the despised tax collector, and he participated in the filming of the Passion of Jesus? In the small group, it is an insinuation of Matthew who was called by Jesus.

      2. Isn't that beautiful actress, the actress in the perfume commercial, the incarnation of Mary Magdalene? She used to be like a prostitute, everyone wanted to have sex with her,...

      where is jesus

      Before watching this movie, I had a very tired two weeks, staying up until three o'clock every day for homework, presentations, papers, etc. The geodata analysis of this film is the last thing I do in this busy cycle, which can be traded for 2 or 3 days of free time after the end. I never imagined that the days after going abroad would be like this. Countless homework reports swept in. The boss and the little boss told me more than once that you should go out for a walk. If you don’t go out...

      31 JUL 2010 (3+) Religion is a compulsory subject for freshman reading. The lecturer said that this film is a must-see for thinking about the contemporary meaning of the Bible. After seeing it for many years, I can't help but be disappointed. There is not much in-depth discussion, and the protagonist is also very deliberately "Jesus" (interview chaos / platform preaching), and even think this film is not as good as the director's American series. One sentence to the end, this film is especially...

    Movie plot

    Denys Arcand criticizes the crime of mass communication blocking language communication by parodying the story of the Passion of Christ. In the film, Karen, a young and unknown actor, is invited by the church deacon to form a makeshift troupe with four others to modernize the church's annual "Passion Play". The original script was very simple, with only a few lines of scripture recited in a narrative fashion: "Jesus was sentenced to...

    Movie quotes

    • Court Psychologist: Having to act in a passion play on the mountain... don't you ever feel this is ridiculous?

      Daniel: No. The subject is great, though not very original.

      Court Psychologist: Sure. But this part for an actor is somewhat flimsy, wouldn't you say?

      Daniel: I don't know. The part of Jesus is not what I would call flimsy work.

      Court Psychologist: You did come up with the private conservatory. Wouldn't you like to have a bright career and play the major theatres?

      Daniel: I was away awhile. Seems normal to start at the bottom of the ladder.

    • Martin: Doing tragedy is dangerous.

    • The Judge: [reads court psychologist report] Better adjusted than most of the judges in this court.
