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.

    Facts have proved that American production in the 1950s + epic theme + top actress = an invincible feature film with religious elements. But Nero started to be very interesting

    I have no interest in this film just to suck Kerr's beauty. Fortunately, there are enough scenes, and the styling is so beautiful that I didn't fast forward for three hours...

Quo Vadis quotes

  • Emperor Nero: [On learning that Petronius is dead] I shall never forgive him for this!

  • Narrator: This is the Appian Way, the most famous road that leads to Rome, as all roads lead to Rome. On this road march her conquering legions. Imperial Rome is the center of the empire, the undisputed master of the world. But with this power inevitably comes corruption. No man is sure of his life, the individual is at the mercy of the state, murder replaces justice. Rulers of conquered nations surrender their helpless subjects to bondage. High and low alike become Roman slaves, Roman hostages. There is no escape from the whip and the sword. That any force on earth can shake the foundations of this pyramid of power and corruption, of human misery and slavery, seems inconceivable. But thirty years before this day, a miracle occurred. On a Roman cross in Judea, a Man died to make men free, to spread the Gospel of love and redemption. Soon that humble cross is destined to replace the proud eagles atop the victorious Roman standards. This is the story of that immortal conflict. In this, the summer of the year 64 A.D., in the reign of the antichrist known to history as the emperor Nero, the victorious Fourteenth Legion is on its way back to Rome under the command of one Marcus Vinicius.
