The purpose of the film is very clear, that is to criticize! He criticized the ignorance and superstition of the monotheistic cult called chicken belly. When the magnificent Roman Empire collapsed, countless Germanic barbarians roared into the Roman Empire and destroyed this glorious civilization, but these barbarians were unable to establish a new civilization and order, thus causing the entire Western European civilization to go backwards. A thousand years into the dark Middle Ages. In the Middle Ages, the only people who mastered culture were the priests. This is why chicken belly calls can be so deeply connected in Western Europe, because at that time, priests were the only kind of civilization.
But the problem is that the nature of a monotheistic cult is hard to change. Although these priests hold the cultural heritage left by Greece and Rome in their hands, not only do they not cherish it, but they delete and distort these cultural heritage according to the absurd teachings of the cult. At the same time, they also suppressed all other civilizations, in the name of God, they slaughtered Druids, burned "witches", killed pagans, and later they also crusaded eastward, engaged in colonial massacres, etc., In short, the bad deeds are innumerable.
The attack of the Black Death in the 15th century was a major event, and at least half of the people in Europe died in this catastrophe. You can imagine the terrifying atmosphere at that time. The most important thing was that people were overwhelmed and didn't know how to deal with this catastrophe. At the same time, all kinds of bad roots in the depths of human nature were exposed one by one in the catastrophe. This film is a small reveal of this phenomenon.
The priest, who is incompetent against the disease, has to make up all kinds of rumors in order to cover up his inability, and in order to prevent people's faith from being shaken. Some say that the plague is God's punishment, some say that the plague was brought by the Jews, and some say that the plague is the work of witches and so on. This film reflects one of them, burning witches. This movement lasted from the 15th century to the 18th century. Countless innocent women were burned to death. Many people died just because of a rumor. Because the information is incomplete, it is impossible to know the total number. It can only be estimated that it is about a dozen. million people. What's even more amusing is that the Pope at the time issued instructions himself and wrote a book on how to identify witches.
Religion comes from mystery, mystery comes from fear, and fear comes from ignorance. Today's people all know that the Black Death was actually a plague, caused by the bacillus plague, spread by fleas on rats, and had nothing to do with any witch or Jewish god. But at that time, people fell into madness due to fear, and committed all kinds of crimes in the name of the one god cult.
