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 Christ and explain the Christian doctrine. It comes from the hands of a Marxist and atheist, but at the same time it has been appreciated and recognized by audiences at all levels, including Christians...

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 to survive, because they can speak, and because they are willing to kneel in the face of disaster, can they be saved?

Other creatures do not make their souls ugly by killing others,...

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, "Teacher, what good thing must I do to have eternal life?" 17 Jesus said to him, "Why do you ask me about good things? There is only one is good. If you want to enter into eternal life,...

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 explained.

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!

Third shot: Judas questioning, "That's what you said."

The fourth scene: the sky is about to dawn, Jesus makes a promise, and the commotion sounds in the blink of an eye.

Fifth shot: The three smiles of Jesus.

I can't say anything good about this movie, I...

I came into the world as a light, so that whoever believes in me may not abide in darkness. If anyone hears my words and does not keep them, I will not judge him. I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world John...

Neorealism is the real proletarian aesthetic, Pasolini never belongs to this category; in addition, the English title of the film should be The Gospel According to Matthew, not...
