There are two schools of so-called religious films: one is to directly use the Bible as a script, supplemented by appropriate imagination and speculation, to visualize the story inside; The other is to describe the religious activities of clergy according to Christian teachings.
Recommend some good-looking controversial religious films
The Last Temptation of Christ (1988)
Controversy: This film is the most controversial religious film in history. Director Martin completely subverts the image of Jesus' kindness and shapes him into a passionate mortal. Timid and hesitant, fond of fantasy, easily tempted by mistakes, and even married and had children like ordinary people, while Judas, a traitor, became a saint who endured humiliation.
Passion of the christ (2004)
Controversy: The film tells the story of Jesus' last 12 hours in Nazareth and the whole process of suffering with extremely calm lens language. Because the film made the scene of Jesus being crucified too vivid and bloody, many viewers were deeply uncomfortable. It was reported that a female audience died of a heart attack during the movie. Moreover, blaming the Jews for the death of Jesus has aroused strong condemnation from Jewish scholars and religious groups. What's more, the director of this film is the famous actor mel gibson.
Soft cheese (1963)
Controversy: This film is one of pasolini's most important religious works. The film adopts the way of acting in the play, with an extra actor playing Jesus. He ate too much soft cheese because of extreme hunger outside the play, and as a result, he died of bloating while filming the scene of being crucified. This kind of ending ironically combines the two equivalent results of sacredness and secularity, which has been strongly criticized by religious groups. The director was also jailed for four months for blasphemy and anti-Jesus crimes.
Decameron (197 1)
Controversy: pasolini, who is crazy about religious films, chose nine stories from Boccaccio's masterpiece decameron and filmed them: young people working in monasteries had sex with them under the temptation of nuns; Rogues who coax priests with nonsense are honored as "saints" after death; The farmer asked the priest to punish his wife, and the priest went to be extremely obscene to his wife. The director once again mercilessly mocked the clergy, causing anger among religious people and strongly calling for him to be put in prison again.
Angry criminals (1999)
The reason for the controversy: the two angels who are not exiled will return to heaven at all costs. Satan from hell is about to start a bloody war on the earth, and the Almighty Lord is actually a woman! ! ! The dialogue in this comedy movie is full of bitter satire on Christianity, touching many sensitive religious issues, and even subverting the images of angels and Jesus by spoofing.
Pastor (1994)
Controversy: The film carefully depicts a young priest's crisis of faith, and the evil and helplessness in the world make the priest depressed. Engage in religious activities in the church during the day, and frequently go to places where gay men gather at night to find true love.
The Crime of Father Aroma (2002)
Controversy: The film was adapted from a novel of the same name by a Portuguese writer and moved to contemporary Mexico. Taking sex, drugs and scandals as the breakthrough point, it boldly exposed the internal corruption of church institutions. Once published, it caused an uproar in Mexico, where the church was powerful. Conservative religious figures not only protested strongly against the film for a long time, but also demanded that all the founders be expelled from the church. Despite being criticized, this highly topical religious film became the highest-grossing local film in Mexico at one fell swoop, and was successfully selected as the best foreign language film at the Oscar that year.
Madeleine Rebellious Girl (2002)
Controversy: Based on a real event, the film focuses on how nuns who run Madeleine's shelter severely punish and abuse girls who are labeled as "slutty" and "depraved". The director mercilessly exposed the shady scenes of Catholic monasteries, which caused great protests from the Holy See.
