[Micro Film Critic] Rooney Mara, a smart and restrained actress, has always been associated with the word "pale" in her impression. In "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo", "Carol", and "Secret Manuscript", she is the kind of girl who can pretend to be indifferent in her heart, indifferent and isolated, but her eyes are beating again. But it was also in "Mary Magdalene" that she found the most suitable role for her.
I watched this film because I recently rewatched "The Da Vinci Code". I heard from Professor Langdon that the Catholic Church had deliberately discredited Mary Magdalene for nearly two thousand years. In fact, she was the wife and believer of Jesus. This film is to rehabilitate her. Maria Magdalene is not a prostitute, she is a faithful believer and spiritual partner of Jesus, a holy woman.
Although I can't really understand this movie like Christian believers, I like the tone of desolation and compassion. In this tone, the paleness of Rooney Mara wrapped in linen has a new meaning, and her eyes seem to have a different power.
Of course, from the perspective of the story, the movie is actually quite boring. I am not interested in Christian culture and history. I am afraid I will not like it.
