Worst cover ever? mmh?

It would be by Charlie Puth feat. Trainor. Seriously, one of the most annoying songs of recent times. And it competes with Bout That Bass, coincidentally, also by the fat shit Trainor. One of those people you’d want to put in a barrel and stomp on until they turn into bloody mush.

fugitive! Lately you seem to have become more violent...everything okay?

it's not a horror but it's an awful film

For me, a masterpiece. Pregnant with raw realism and also faithful to tradition: the sacred/historical sources clearly suggest that, after the stoning, only shreds of Christ's defiled skin remained. Skin fragments that would reveal the flesh simply by resting fingers on the damaged contours. So says history, and that’s how Mel has told it. Thus, it is a realistic violence and not gratuitous, to which the director refers. Moreover, the choice to subtitle the entire film in order to have the protagonists speak in the languages of the time, namely Hebrew, Latin, and Aramaic, is intelligent. Furthermore, the video - subtitle relationship is well-balanced, and the film can be followed without issues. Lastly, it should be noted that moments of pure violence alternate with others of lyrical and visual romanticism, giving the work an epic and moving touch. Masterful the editing and direction when Mary runs to her son after seeing him fall with the cross on his shoulders. Then there’s that ending, predictable given the subject, but shot with intense class and poetry. Christ closes his eyes, reopens them, rises... a lightning-fast shot of the palm of the hand pierced by the nail... rolling credits! No, I have no doubts: it is a 5-star masterpiece!

What you've described, Drago, can easily be defined as cinematic rhetoric (which the film is full of). But it makes sense that you consider it a masterpiece.

No, Maffin, I'm not being rhetorical, come on. I don't want to pose as an intellectual, nor to make a thought sound pompous to justify my opinions. I didn’t speak for the sake of it; that was genuinely my thought, and I tried to justify it, articulating all the reasons why I liked the film. So I repeat, it's a five-star movie, and behind this strong belief of mine, there's no hidden inconsistency. Moral of the story: you could have spared me the jab.

No, no Drago, you misunderstood me or I didn't express myself well. I didn't mean to say that you are rhetorical, but the directing choices of the film are.
