Four stories that took place in different historical periods and spanned more than 2,000 years form the storyline of the film. The first story is called "Mother and Dharma". Set in early 20th century California, a young worker is framed as a murderer and sentenced to death. And his wife must find out the real murderer and rescue her husband before execution. The second story, "The Passion of Jesus," takes place in Palestine in AD 27. Jesus was betrayed by his disciples, tortured and crucified. The third story is the "Massacre of St. Bartholomew", which took place in Paris, France in 1572 AD. Catholics unleashed a massacre of Protestants. A pair of young Protestants who were about to get married also suffered misfortune. The fourth story is "The Fall of Babylon": in the Middle East in 539 BC, the high priest of Babylon, because of his grudge with the prince Barzar, actually opened the city gate when the Persian army came to attack, and the ancient kingdom of Babylon was destroyed.

    3.5, more than half of the stars given to history. Without escaping the restrictions of the stage play, it is basically a blind patchwork of single-view lenses. One of the few close-ups, a place of real beauty. Music sucks. Basically equivalent to Eisenstein's dialectical montage. But according to Deleuze: Eisenstein's organic montage spiral of life should be presented scientifically through dialectics, not empirically (parallel montage). [Personal understanding is that the whole is only regarded as an organic combination of parts, rather than a part as a representative of the whole to design a film. In the parallel montage, there is an extraction summary, the upper and lower wings that make up the flight time, and the amplitude of the flapping (clip) is reduced as the parallel lines get closer and closer, which is a spiral. However, each flap does not reflect the entire structure. Perhaps it can be simply understood as follows: the bricks are too rough, and even if the building can be built, it is not refined enough. 】Also, scenes and montages are chaotically scheduled. It's a good idea to have a blue girl. But not organic enough. Using blue casually in broad daylight is definitely not a good choice. Too many words. Or theatrical thinking.
