Movie Commentary: The Magic Star of Wanshi

7 points. This movie of my age should be considered one of the creators of nonsensical spoof comedy, right? Whether it’s a Christian, Jesus, Governor of Rome, Jews, or even aliens, the directors all fired map guns, and no one ran away~~ The story reminded me of the "Raging Against the Sky" I watched some time ago. But after all, there is still a certain distance between the film and the current film in terms of funny. The story of this film and the content of Jesus are too deeply integrated. If the audience is not clear about this period of history, the understanding may be compromised~~

Matthias: [Answering the summons of the door] My legs are old and bent, my ears are grizzled, yes?
Centurion: There's one place we didn't look. Guards!
[the guards troop into the house]
Matthias: ...Nose is knackered.
Centurion: Have you ever seen anyone crucified?
Matthias: Crucifixion's a doddle.
Centurion: ...Don't keep saying that.
Lead Search Guard: [Guards troop out, last guard pauses] Found this spoon, sir.
Centurion: Well done, Sergeant!
Centurion: We'll be back... Oddball...

Brian: No, no. Please, please please listen. I've got one or two things to say.
The Crowd: Tell us! Tell us both of them!
Brian: Look, you've got it all wrong. You don't need to follow me. You don't need to follow anybody! You've got to think for yourselves! You're all individuals!
The Crowd: Yes! We're all individuals!
Brian: You're all different!
The Crowd: Yes! We're all different!
Man in crowd: I'm not...
Man in crowd: Shhh!
Brian: You've all got to work it out for yourselves.
The Crowd: Yes! We've got to work it out for ourselves!
Brian: Exactly!
The Crowd: Tell us more!
Brian: No! That's the point! Don't let anyone tell you what to do! Otherwise - Ow! Ow!
