Just saw Agora (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1186830/), a movie about Hypatia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypatia), an atheist philosopher and mathematician in Alexandria, Egypt, who was brutally killed by a mob of Christian monks in 415 AD. She was the first woman mathematician and also the first victim of Christian witchcraft burning, followed by a long list of poor women through out the dark ages ruled by Christianity.
It is a pretty bold movie. Hard to imagine what effects this movie would cause if shown in the mainstream theaters for the general public. It could even potentially re-ignite the hatred between Christians and Jews, and Christians and atheists, I am afraid.

你过虑了。无神论者在美国政治生活中的地位连同性恋都远远不如。

在社会生活中,很多人都把无神论者等同于没有道德的人,比老保们眼中的自由派更等而下之了。
实在很不待敬那些一说道德就提宗教的人,没见识! - Re: Movie recommendation: Agoraposted on 06/20/2010
Just saw Coco and Igor
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coco_Chanel_%26_Igor_Stravinsky
same old story, told many times, but still...
The music is good. It brings back memories, shocked by the power of the Rite of Spring when I heard it the first time, years ago.
Some scenes are aesthetically shot.

刚看了 Anton Chekhov's The Duel
http://www.filmjournal.com/filmjournal/content_display/reviews/specialty-releases/e3i2d2992c8dfe0a89892af51fab49a287a http://articles.latimes.com/2010/jun/18/entertainment/la-et-duel-20100618 电影很忠实于原著,有些对话都是一字不改。看这个一百多年前的故事心理跨度比时间跨度大的多。那种厌倦生活百无聊赖的多余人形象久违了。一边看电影一边总想到另外一个类似的故事,莱蒙托夫的当代英雄,也是浪迹高加索的多余人,但主人公却酷的多,故事也更戏剧性。这么好的题材怎么没拍成电影,很遗憾。
好久没去这个电影院了,买票时吓了一跳,票价才三块钱。这年头上哪花三块钱就打发一晚上? - Re: Movie recommendation: Agoraposted on 06/27/2010
