Religion ... "Opium, neurosis, poetry?
premiere this weekend one of the great films of the year, Of Gods and Men , about the murder of Cistercian monks at the hands of Islamic fundamentalists. Beauvois focuses on discussions held by the monks on whether get out of there, because they know they are targeted by terrorists, or stay to continue their task. Between the survival instinct and delivery to a work, a promise and concrete love for humanity.
is more difficult to find a true Christian than a needle in a haystack and more difficult for their actions be understood that a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. Turn the other cheek? No doubt, there would be more contradictory spectacle to see Jesus walking through the Vatican, with its rags face to face with the fashion Ratzinger.
why it is so interesting film Beauvois, as it focuses on the line that separates existential suicide martyrdom rather than the funny but intractable political issue of who actually uploaded to the Cistercian monks.
Opium "(Marx), neurosis (Freud), poetry (Bloom)? It is a matter of believing or not believing, but as Nietzsche would say that your beliefs facing the world and others to be poetic, rather than opiate or neurotic.
