A friend introduced to me this marvelous movie. Never forget this history!
Perhaps can be the first activity for our newly-formed "Humanist Group of Unitarian Universalists Hong Kong".
友人介紹。非常值得欣賞的電影!反思歷史!
可以是新成立的「尋道會人文組」的第一項活動!

"...此片充滿宗教爭議性,但有劇烈震撼力,大膽作出歷史反思。...阿歷山大城才女海芭夏(Hypatia of Alexandria,西元350-415),她被譽為世界首位著名的女性哲學家、數學家、天文學家,在博學院任教...當時阿城是自由開放的世界學術重地,繼承希臘傳統文化。...以貧民為主的基督徒聲勢浩大,用「神蹟」煽動群眾反上層反異教,圍攻博學院,破壞大圖書館。...片中才女...專注學問,在文革式血腥狂暴衝突中,也苦心鑽研地球與太陽的運行軌。但她終於成為教會專制極權的犧牲品,可能是首位當作「女巫」處死的人。..." 石琪
