Important Note: If you have not seen the movie and schmooze bothers them part of the story, stop reading.
Agorafinally saw a slight film that tells a part of the story of Hypatia of Alexandria. The character is characterized by Rachel Weisz, and the truth, I really liked how they took the character and the film itself.
is difficult to summarize a film that has many interesting parts. On the one hand, there is a hunger for knowledge of Hypatia, which, he did not question their own beliefs, much less repaired to doubt the belief of others, more authority than they were. Basic to critical thinking and skepticism.
Hypatia, a philosopher, astronomer, mathematician, is a female symbol of knowledge and struggle to defend the knowledge. The film has some sentences that make you curl one's hair. For example, when he tells the Bishop: "You do not question your beliefs. Or can not. I must. " Chulada.
O when accused of not believing in anything. She just says, "I have a philosophy."
On the scientific side of the tape, it is interesting to see how one reasons about some fact that, at present, is a theory rather than proven. Those first few laudable attempts to want to know why, wanted to discover what lies beyond what we know and take for granted.
The other part of the movie has to do with religion, bigotry, and stupidity of humans, who prefers to start from an imaginary friend, before reaching laws that lead to respect and tolerance.
reminded me of George Carlin:
-
Do you believe in God?
-
-
No Bang, bang!
-
Do you believe in God? Yes
-
-
me Do you believe in God?
-
-
No Bang, bang!
certainly kill idiotic for these reasons.
Hypatia is said was killed by a witch and consider not believing in God (or that of the pagans, nor in that of the Jews, or chisuscraist ). Some versions say he was stoned, some others say was flayed alive in the film, an ex-slave kills her suffocating, to avoid suffering, and ultimately, is stoned. Whichever way Hypatia has died, the cause is religion and fanaticism.
Hypatia is one of many documented cases of religious fanaticism, and above all, religious bigotry against anyone who dared to question and discover things that amaze us today.
Another important thing in the film, which is very hand with religious fanaticism, is the burning of the Alexandrian library. In a tragic scene, he sees Hypatia and other scientists try to save the most precious with what they had, knowledge. People tried to salvage what they could of written more with the knowledge of the period, before they entered the Christians to break everything, only because they thought it went against what he says dear God. An irreparable loss. What was written there? Maybe we'll never know.
I could not help wondering, what would our species if we had not had these religious conflicts, Are we more advanced? Would we be better individuals? Held on tight "science better than religion? Are we just screwed? Valid questions, I think.
Film makes clear that to survive in a society, the government must not interfere in religious affairs. Individual freedom is what one pleases you to believe. Even is free too, openly criticize those beliefs, be it religious, scientific, whatever.
What happened then enEgipto is not very far from reality in some countries today. Do any of you have signed electronic petitions for stoned no women in the Middle East? I have arrived, and I signed. It is incredible that at this point, with the knowledge we have, so far we have come, some people continue to identify that someone must die apedreado solo por un libro que tiene muchos años escrito y que nadie le ha hecho una revisión, sobre todo por las salvajadas que vienen escritas que está muy lejos de considerarse un libro que nos enseña moralidad.
Ágora es una buena película, al menos a mí me gustó mucho, aunque, me sentí un poco triste por el destino de Hipatía que, sin merecerlo, tuvo que morir sólo porque se atrevió a preguntar. Pero tiene escenas muy buenas, sobre todo cuando hacen los alejamientos y vemos nuestro planeta Tierra, y se escuchan los gritos o cantos en el espacio.
Si tienen oportunidad de rentarla, háganlo, creo yo que no se van a arrepentir. Lo bueno es que no vivimos en Egipto, porque Beyond the banned for "insulting religion." He also had trouble finding distributors in Italy and the United States. Burros.
Here are two reviews: Free thinking and science for fun . Information
