      why maria had to die

      "Fourteen Stations of the Cross" seems to be a film that expresses the crisis and contradiction of the Catholic faith in contemporary society. This story is even more shocking, is the banal, even small evil. They usually make waves in the name of love, and they will whisper to you, "I'm doing this for your own good" until they destroy you.

      It is the endless complaints and admonitions of Mother Mary, forcing those around her to submit to her mighty will, to succumb to this woman's...

      the power of faith

      The film tells the story of a German Catholic family. In the extremely strict family religious life, the heroine Maria tries hard to approach God with her devout beliefs, and firmly believes that her autistic younger brother can speak with her own sacrifice. The whole film borrows the experience of Jesus's death and constitutes the whole story with fourteen chapters, and was nominated for the Silver Bear Award (Best Screenplay) and the Golden Bear Award at the 64th Berlin Film Festival....

      Personal Movie List #91. Fourteen Stations of the Cross

      Personal rating: ★★★★
      This is a religious movie that is so silent and depressing. Is it just a high-level blackmail of Catholicism or a serious torture of the entire religious system? The director's attitude doesn't seem to be clear either, but it's unmistakably a strong satire of religious fanatics.
      Of course, Christianity has three branches: God, Orthodox, and Protestantism. Among them, there are many believers who are not extreme. Therefore, I believe that the original intention of...

      unhappy that jesus was not resurrected

      At the beginning, the inexplicable title of "Jesus" followed by a "Last Supper". The priest and a few students sang a good "N reed". Interestingly, there was a little boy on the left with his back to the camera. From the beginning, he was sitting in a different posture, leaning on the back of the chair with his elbows propped up. Sure enough, various answers from the gods kept popping up, and he was decisively ignored by the priest
      . It turns out that the little girl is Jesus, but Jesus is...

      She Did Not Die for Her Faith - My Understanding of the Movie "Fourteen Stations of the Cross"


      I'm not a follower of any religion, and I don't hold any malice against any religion. I only give objective comments on the religious issues reflected in this film.

      The film's intent to criticize the harsh canon of orthodox Catholicism is obvious, so it's understandable that the film's protagonist, Maria, died of her faith. I also think that it does have the side of suppressing human nature, but thinking about it carefully, although the canons are strict, they have existed for...

      Catholicism is still more merciful than female Durban, and spiritual cold violence is more civilized than physical footbinding. Fourteen stages of hardship, killing step by step and becoming a benevolent mother. The mother also had youth but did not let her daughter live comfortably. The evil nature lies in lax discipline and occasional kindness. Finally, the dirt covered by the excavator ended the silence, but it seemed to leave a...

      It is also a movie that is praised by the minority... In a country that lacks universal religious beliefs, discussing a movie about the dangers of extreme religions is not under a wifi. The sense of abstinence in the 14 fixed-camera long shots echoes the sense of religious ritual and...

      20201224le. Christmas Eve. Religious themes, but not religious movies. The ruthlessness of the Germans. 14 shots. How humble and insignificant human beings are.

      As an anti-religious person, I feel that the combination of religion and dictatorship in this film is too far-fetched and lacks a realistic basis. Unless his family is isolated from the world, such a mother will definitely be isolated...

    Evaluation action

    In a neat and perfect form, it echoes the extreme actions of the characters in the film. The fourteen titles of the whole film are borrowed from the chapters and short stories of Jesus ' disaster; the fourteen long shots, framed with a ritual-like rigorous structure, are reminiscent of Rossellini's 1950 "Saint Francis." flower". The difference is that this film seems to calmly profile Maria's spiritual journey in pursuit of faith and...
