Anybody here but me old enough to remember the brief scene in Fellini's "8 1/2" where the Fellini-alter-ago protagonist has a childhood recollection of seeing a church pageant of an early Christian martyr, played by a little girl, being burned on a grill, and being terrified? The "flames" were achieved by attaching strips of paper (presumably red; "8 1/2" is in b&w) to the grill and blowing them upward around the "martyr" with a fan like tongues of fire -- and the young boy's imagination did the rest. Many of the child-memory scenes in this film have a strong feeling of authenticity.<br /><br />IIRC my first exposure to blood-and-torment themes in modern Christian hagiography was when I was invited to go to a Mass with a Catholic girlfriend when we were about 9, and saw saints' statues in the side chapels with the streaming Technicolor wounds of their martyrdoms displayed. I'd seen paintings of the crucifixion, etc. in art books before then, but knew that they were very old, and hadn't realized that representations of blood and torture was still part of many people's churchgoing experience.<br /><br />Disclaimer: I was brought up strongly Protestant, and tho the Northern Baptist congregation my grandparents belonged to in Minneapolis had a big, ornate Late Victorian church, they didn't at all go in for bloody saints, or statues of any kind. Not that Proddies are historically exempt from atrocities - but the attitude to imagery is very different.<br /><br />Then there were all those parents who hauled their kids to see that Mel Gibson bloodbath a few years back.<br /><br />Notice how good Padre Farfaglia says the martyrdom of the kid in this movie is "really beautiful".<br /><br />I don't know. I find moral courage against the odds thrilling . . but foot-flaying doesn't strike me as much to do with beauty. The human capacity for horribleness, yes .. and if one gets off on it, in some roundabout way, isn't that part of the horror, too?Li'l Innocenthttp://ladysmantle.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1776456473941522431.post-56538133389079076362012-06-07T07:12:08.148-07:002012-06-07T07:12:08.148-07:00That last comment from "Change Management Pro...That last comment from "Change Management Process" seems rather, well, Bot-like Scott. If you click through to see what it is, it looks like one of those "motivate your employees so that they each can do the jobs of all the others who were 'downsized'". The comment was just too generic.<br /><br />And, completely off topic, I miss Annti profoundly. I'm truly worried about her.<br /><br />And on topic, children should see a 12 year old being tortured and martyred?!? Is this what the RCC truly wants kids to know? "Fall in line with your faith; so you too, can be tortured and killed." And don't forget Confession is at 4:30 on Saturday.<br /><br />No wonder I'm still a recovering Catholic...<br />~Minx~Nadinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06700808766186461009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1776456473941522431.post-17936264245698730282012-06-06T11:44:05.026-07:002012-06-06T11:44:05.026-07:00Pro tip: That vacuous look from O'Toole is mai...Pro tip: That vacuous look from O'Toole is mainly because of the amount of botox he's had, that and a decades long drinking binge. This isn't a dig at O'Toole at all. He's one of my all-time favorites. I would also like to point out that The Ruling Class is kind of an antidote for Catholic propaganda films. Finally, if it wasn't for his droll turn as the voice of Anton Ego in Ratatouille, I would just think of him as dead.Jay B.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1776456473941522431.post-61542733996440819862012-06-06T02:32:50.086-07:002012-06-06T02:32:50.086-07:00Dog, that might be the first one sentence summary ...Dog, that might be the first one sentence summary of Garcia's career that has ever truly encompassed his body of workCarlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03664920037425489644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1776456473941522431.post-19456096250459839852012-06-05T14:38:34.865-07:002012-06-05T14:38:34.865-07:00I like to spend at least half of any Andy Garcia m...I like to spend at least half of any Andy Garcia movie trying to figure out what movie he thought he was making.James Briggs Stratton "Doghouse" Rileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05378802364709433791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1776456473941522431.post-2291383997201625632012-06-05T10:34:35.529-07:002012-06-05T10:34:35.529-07:00The Cristero rebellion was a very complicated thin...The Cristero rebellion was a very complicated thing. It was at least as much about the landed elites trying to get their privileges back as it was about religious freedom. (When and where has the Roman Catholic Church ever been in favor of religious freedom for any church but itself, anyway?) And without justifying government atrocities, it might have been nice for the moviemakers to acknowledge that the Cristeros committed many of their own, including the torture and murder of rural schoolteachers.<br /><br />Historically the RCC in Latin America has virtually always sided with the aristocracy, the economic elites and the politically powerful, against the interests of the common people. The Church opposed both the 1810 war for independence (Padre Hidalgo, one of the founders of the revolution, who delivered the famous "grito de la independencia" was defrocked and excommunicated before his execution) and the 1910 rebellion. It consistently opposed democratization and land reform (due in part no doubt to its role as Mexico's biggest landowner until after the 1910 rebellion).<br /><br />While I think the anti-clerical laws went WAY overboard, and do not countenance religious oppression of any kind, the laws didn't happen without a context, and the underlying principle of separation of church and state is crucial to a free society.<br /><br />I get it that a movie, even a long one, can't present every conceivable historic nuance, and it's easier to have clear-cut good guys and bad guys, but at least some inclusion of the ambiguities and context of the Cristero rebellion would be nice.T.B.
