Field Agora: a door to history

A vital purpose of the Agora film, recently released, I would like to emphasize a different aspect of the film, both in substance and in form. Little more can be added to the magnificent Vincent article on the main issues dealt with in the film: the intolerance and power struggle with religion as an excuse, but the representation of this history has been carried out very detailed and credible, despite some tiny inaccuracy as Vincent said.

Alejandro Amenabar has put all his talent and effort to tell us his vision of a piece of history, wrapped in a turbulent context, the breakdown of the Roman Empire and the transition from classical to the Christian world. This vision, unlike other movies that glamorize Holliwood arising from characters, corrupt the history and care about more than mere spectacle (eg 10,000), is characterized by a great historical accuracy and realism .

However

These great sets increase in accuracy by not subtracting a touch of decadence, as it corresponded to the sociopolitical changes that had been made in the late fourth and early fifth century This We can physically see the changes they undergo many buildings, as the library happens to have as little use IP as the barn, the theater has ceased to represent classical works and the replacement of the agora for the Church (ex Serapeum ) as a meeting place.

is also worth commenting on the clothing care (which we have seen up close in the museum's exhibition costume), which is realistic but at the same time favors the differences between groups and the antagonism that face: The pagans with their luxurious robes, against Christians with simple clothes wool, Roman soldiers with their typical rectangular shield and spear or pilum, slaves cared for by their masters but living in small dark rooms, Jews wearing the tallit and kippah ...

Of course, who better represents this association is Hypatia who first saw the Greek style white or light colors after the destruction the library appear to represent deep and strong colors to his innocence, but also of an era.
