seems to save me. For fear of age,
I searched for this [City Square]
, and my remaining beliefs were completely gone.

The film tells about the gradual decline of polytheism in Greece, the legalization of Christianity in the Roman Empire, and the proclamation of the state religion, which gradually entered the long scroll of history. Greek polytheism was gradually reduced to paganism. In the city square, this stage space with political weight and role, religious farce and historical tragedy are staged in turn on it.
With the help of the famous Greek female philosopher and astronomer Hypatia's life tragedy at this historical turning point, the end of her life, as the sacrifice of the conflict between polytheism and Christianity that has been fighting for more than 100 years, also ended the activities of Christianity to clean up paganism. Reveal the neglected side of religion.
In the square of the city, polytheism has ended, and Christianity has come on stage.
This statue was torn down, the statue was built, and a new civilization has not yet been written. Who is the beneficiary of religion that has
burned down centuries of civilization ? The eternal thing may be the constant sunrise and sunset when looking up at the sky, and the story of this city is like the orbit of the celestial body . It's different. In addition to the religious conflict itself, the film invites people to think about the origin of things. The director's visual language performance, although in an epic movie, can still be proficient in the use of details, which is really brilliant. Why recommend this video? Maybe it will make you realize that compared with the process of history, our life is too short, and our strength is too limited to leave any trace, in the square of this city
It's not even enough to witness a period of change
. So,
in another year of your life,
what do you leave for yourself?
