Records of the Burning City of the Tyrant-"Faith is Built on the Foundation of Love"

In the first century AD, under the preaching of Paul, Peter and others, more and more poor people from the lower class believed in Christianity and were brutally persecuted. A young Roman aristocratic officer and a hostage were treated as a daughter by the guardian. The beautiful girl has experienced a catastrophic love between life and death, which is the main line of Xian Keweizhi's novel "Where are you going?", which is depicted in the film. The Roman emperor Nilu slammed that he killed his mother and murdered his wife "in order to open the door to the future world", and said that the door is now open, "let it be beautiful, or make him terrible." This is really the language of a tyrant. The fire will destroy Rome, and the angry crowd will rush into the palace. Nilu is terrified; the leader of the guard refused to be a scapegoat; the queen took the opportunity to marry the Christians; only Porcuni said, "Let them in, we all deserve to die." . This section is very exciting. Paul's words are an extreme opposition to Nelu's words. Paul said, "The faith in Christ is built on love. He requires all people to love each other." Marcos rushed into the fire, rescued a child first, guided people to escape through the sewer, and ordered soldiers to give people who fled. Give up the channel. All this he did was a manifestation of the spirit of Christ, although he may not be aware of it yet. In the original work, Lisy was tied naked to a horn. Now the film processing is not easy to shoot. There seems to be no marriage in the original work; and the two want to have a wedding before being executed in the film, which seems to be a bit of a modern view of the original Christians with great dedication. It feels that the film lacks in the depth of exploring the ideological connotation of the original work. Of course, making a movie has its own difficulties, and it must be watchable.

Quo Vadis quotes

  • Petronius: It is not enough to live well. One must die well.

  • Petronius: [in his dying letter to Nero] To Nero, Emperor of Rome, Master of the World, Divine Pontiff. I know that my death will be a disappointment to you, since you wished to render me this service yourself. To be born in your reign is a miscalculation; but to die in it is a joy. I can forgive you for murdering your wife and your mother, for burning our beloved Rome, for befouling our fair country with the stench of your crimes. But one thing I cannot forgive - the boredom of having to listen to your verses, your second-rate songs, your mediocre performances. Adhere to your special gifts, Nero - murder and arson, betrayal and terror. Mutilate your subjects if you must; but with my last breath I beg you - do not mutilate the arts. Fare well, but compose no more music. Brutalize the people, but do not bore them, as you have bored to death your friend, the late Gaius Petronius.
