The Robe - Free-market Film Analysis - Easter Special with the Anarcho-Christian

from The Last Nighters - Free-market Film Analysis · host The Last Nighters

We did "The Passion of the Christ" last year telling the story of the Crucifixion, this year is an appropriate continuation of that story as we get some of the periphery and aftermath as we talk about "The Robe" with the Anarcho-Christian.   In this biblical epic, a drunk and disillusioned Roman, Marcellus Gallio (Richard Burton), wins Jesus' robe in a dice game after the crucifixion. Marcellus has never been a man of faith like his slave, Demetrius (Victor Mature), but when Demetrius escapes with the robe, Marcellus experiences disturbing visions and feels guilty for his actions. Convinced that destroying the robe will cure him, Marcellus sets out to find Demetrius -- and discovers his Christian faith along the way.   There's a strong anti-state message against the tyrant Caligula at the end, for which the sentence is death.   We're doing a back-to-back Richard Burton vs. Chuck Heston - battle royale as we do "Soylent Green" next week for Earf Day with Dr. Dennis Foster.    Show Notes:  http://www.lastnighters.com/119   Look for it at the Launch Pad Media, where they are always launching new ideas in your direction: http://www.thelaunchpadmedia.com   Reel Unconventional Film Analysis.   We use movies as a starting point for people who may not be familiar with this way of thinking.   The point is to show what anarchy actually is with instances that are presented in film.   SUBSCRIBE, RATE AND REVIEW ON APPLE PODCASTS (or iTUNES)
