Benedetta

There's an assimilation to Arnold Schwarzenegger's dream about reality in "Total Recall". You see a good example of those dual realities later in the movie, when the plague hits; Benedetta tells the crowd in Pescia that Jesus will protect them, then she orders a soldier to shut the city gates, instituting a sort of lockdown! It once more shows her dual nature as a believer and politician. The Church does not prohibit sexual relations, except for members of the clergy. We humans are, fundamentally, animals, right? We've a body and instincts. Benedetta does not resist the call of the flesh, but why would she resist it? Science tells the truth, legends tell stories. That’s how we see it. The film shows what religion prohibits, especially with regard to sex. The hypocrisy and corruption is at the heart of the religious authorities. Not all mystics believed in Jesus as a means to obtaining positions of power, but mysticism is often the only way for a woman to climb the social ladder. The issue of blasphemy is also shifting, ambivalent, with the accusation bandied about between characters. Yes, blasphemy works both ways. Religion forbids things, as if it's possible to lock away impulses, desire, urges and the unconscious in a little box. Except it doesn’t work like that. It’s important not to reduce the d**do to an immature prank, the desire to shock. It makes sense in the overall narrative of the film. History advances and evolves over the centuries, but it's always subjected to contradictory currents and the advances of civilization. You think that freedom has been won, but no, we get the feeling that a period movie always resonates with the present. We should be happy that in the partisan times we are living in, this film blurs boundaries, with mystery. By Gregory Mann

Horrible movie. Just depressing and sad.

What a blasphemous movie. The enemy is at work.

Seriously, you guys are ridiculous. Go watch Veggie Tales if you need a safe space

Blasphemous... not a Christian or Christmas movie. Don't waste your precious time.

It will harm you if you watch it ,. It’s meant to bring pain in people’s life. Please stay away

This FILTH should not even be rated its less than 0. The makers and viewers of this garbage WILL face God's wrath sooner or later plain point period. Repent get down on your knees and ask for forgiveness before its too late. God and His Most Holy mother will NOT be mocked.
