Christian theology niche movies

How should I put it, I feel that this film is too metaphorical, and the overall style is particularly similar to the film style of the early montage school. What I like very much is the camera language and scene scheduling of this film. The director will organize rich camera words to tell the story. The style is very strong but also has a strong sense of voyeurism. Horses appear many times as a visual motif, and the epic spectacle also peeks into the hearts of the characters. When he resorted to it, he brought too much contemplation. The contradictions in it ranged from big to small, from self to external. In the final analysis, it was the struggle between rationality and sensibility, between humanity and divinity. Although the characters at the end are strong and fly to the sky in a balloon with the characters at the beginning, the atmosphere always brings about the insignificance of human beings and the power of overdrafting human life force. This very religious movie is reminiscent of Bergman's Movies and movies are all about the fate of human insignificance, but one is a firm belief and the other is a skeptical affirmation.
This movie belongs to the minority, and belongs to the minority of the Christian system. I think I have a little understanding of the Bible, but many of the metaphors in it are still unclear. Only those who firmly believe in God understand the hope and despair, the struggle and the entanglement in the camera.
Painting icons and bells, horses, the fall of hot air balloons, people running naked to celebrate festivals, killings in churches.

    Judas sold Jesus, think, who bought it? The Pharisees were deceivers, clever and cunning. They learn culture in order to take advantage of people's ignorance to seize power. Always remind people that they are human, the Russians are of the same blood, live in the same land, and there are sins everywhere, and someone could betray you at any time for 30 bucks.

    Tarkovsky is like an epic film of miracles. 1. Hot air balloons falling to the ground and horses rolling; 2. Naked women’s carnival and swimming towards the other shore; 3. Everything is void; 4. The gray drizzle in the birch forest; 5. Walking alone between God’s forgiveness and self-confession 6. "Women come from men" vs. mute women crying against a white wall with splashed ink; 7. Using a teenager to cast a bell as a metaphor for carving time; 8. At the end, stop and watch the details of the colorful mural + rain rust on the brick wall + four Horses feed on water plants in the rain. (9.0/10)

Andrei Rublev quotes

  • Andrei Rublyov: You just spoke of Jesus. Perhaps he was born and crucified to reconcile God and man. Jesus came from God, so he is all-powerful. And if He died on the cross it was predetermined and His crucifixion and death were God's will. That would have aroused hatred not in those that crucified him but in those that loved him if they had been near him at that moment, because they loved him as a man only. But if He, of His own will, left them, He displayed injustice, or even cruelty. Maybe those who crucified him loved him because they helped in this divine plan.

  • Kirill: [admiring one of Feofan's icon paintings] As Epiphanius said in "The Life of Saint Sergeius," "Simplicity, without gaudiness." That is what this is. It's sacred... Simplicity, without gaudiness - you can't say it better.

    Feofan Grek: I see you are a wise man.

    Kirill: If so, is that a good thing? If one is ignorant, isn't it better to be guided by one's heart?

    Feofan Grek: In much wisdom there is much grief. And he who increases knowledge increases sorrow.
