THE ROBE (1953)

THE ROBE (1953)
Audio : English & Spanish & Brasilian Portuguese
Subtitles : English & Spanish & Brasilian Portuguese & Greek

The action takes place in Ancient Rome, Capri and Judaea in 32 AD.
Marcellus Gallio (Richard Burton) is a Roman military tribune who antagonizes Caligula (Jay Robinson), nephew and heir to the emperor Tiberius (Ernest Thesiger), and his rival for the love of Diana (Jean Simmons), by buying the defiant Greek slave Demetrius (Victor Mature) on whom Caligula had set his sights. To punish him, Caligula arranges the transfer of Marcellus to the garrison of Jerusalem. Before Marcellus’ ship sails, Diana comes to pledge her love and states that she will intercede on his behalf with Tiberius. Much to his surprise, Marcellus returns her feelings and asks her to wait for him.
Marcellus arrives in Jerusalem, and Demetrius notices Jesus entering the city and feels an urge to follow him. Marcellus serves under the governor Pontius Pilate (Richard Boone), who is troubled and haunted by a recent legal case. Marcellus' is informed by Pilate that he will return to Italy-to Capri. Before he leaves however Marcellus will command the crucifixion of Jesus. He wins Christ's robe at dice and takes it with him. A rainstorm begins and Marcellus orders Demetrius to cover him with the robe but, as soon as the cloth touches him, Marcellus cries in agony that it is burning him. Taking back the robe, Demetrius calls Marcellus a murderer and curses him, then runs away.
Marcellus is haunted by nightmares and mental instability that arise from that event. He returns to Italy and visits the aging Emperor Tiberius in Capri and tells him of his ordeal. Tiberius concludes that the teachings of this mysterious Jesus pose a threat to Roman supremacy, and his soothsayer Dodinius (Francis Pierlot) theorizes that Marcellus has been bewitched by the robe, and that only by destroying it will he be freed. Moved by his affection for Diana, Tiberius gives Marcellus an imperial commission to find and destroy the robe and to discover everyone who became followers of Jesus.
Marcellus returns to Galilee disguised as a merchant and searches for Demetrius and the robe. In the village of Cana, he finds followers of Jesus and meets Justus, a local leader. Trying to gain Justus' trust Marcellus gives a donkey to his grandson. Invited by Justus for dinner he learns more of the surprising ways of the followers of Jesus. On the next day Marcellus is stunned as the little boy gave the donkey to a crippled friend. Eventually he finds out that a certain Simon is bound to arrive. This Simon was re-named Peter aka "the Big Fisherman" by Jesus and now travels in the company of a Greek. Guessing that this Greek is none other than Demetrius, Marcellus finds him and the robe but is unable to destroy it.
At a later gathering of the villagers Justus proclaims that while all other had renounced Jesus Peter was with him till the end. Suddenly Justus is killed by a Roman archer as a detachment of Roman soldiers enters the village and begins to slaughter the villagers.
Marcellus orders them to stand down, but the commanding centurion Paulus (Jeff Morrow), a former acquaintance, refuses. Tiberius has died and Caligula is the new emperor. Marcellus argues that his imperial commission has to be obeyed until personally revoked, and challenges the centurion to single combat. He wins and spares the centurions life, and with grudging respect Paulus removes his troops from the village.
Later Peter speaks with Marcellus and invites him to join their cause. Marcellus refuses at first. Peter asks Marcellus if there is anything he wants to tell him. Peter even reveals his three-time denial of Christ. Marcellus tells Peter of his role in the crucifixion. Peter tells Marcellus that he already knows. Demetrius had told him. Furthermore, Peter tells Marcellus that Jesus forgave him from the cross and he can do no less. Marcellus becomes a Christian himself, subsequently travelling throughout the Mediterranean provinces with Peter and Demetrius, and eventually to Rome itself. .....

QUO VADIS (1951)

QUO VADIS (1951)

Audio : English
Subtitles : English & Greek

The action takes place in ancient Rome from 64-68 AD, during the reign of the Emperor Nero. The subject is the conflict between Christianity and the corruption of the Roman Empire, especially in the last period of the Julio-Claudian line. The characters and events depicted are a mixture of actual historical figures and situations and fictionalized ones.
The film tells the story of a Roman military commander, Marcus Vinicius (Robert Taylor), returning from the wars, who falls in love with a devout Christian, Lygia (Deborah Kerr). Commander Vinicius becomes intrigued by her and her religion. Their love story is told against the broader historical background of early Christianity and its persecution by Nero (Peter Ustinov). Though she grew up Roman as the adopted daughter of a retired general, Lygia is technically a hostage of Rome. Marcus persuades Nero to give her to him for services rendered. Lygia resents this, but still falls in love with Marcus.
Meanwhile, Nero's atrocities become increasingly more outrageous and his acts more insane. When he burns Rome and blames the Christians, Marcus goes off to save Lygia and her family. Nero captures them and all the Christians, and condemns them to be killed in the arena. Marcus is also arrested for trying to save Lygia. In prison, Peter (Finlay Currie), who has also been arrested, marries the couple; eventually, Peter is crucified upside-down, implicitly at his own request ("To die as Our Lord did is more than I deserve'," he says, and the Praetorian guard sneeringly answers, "We can change that").
Poppaea, Nero's wife, who lusts after Marcus, devises a diabolical revenge for his rejection of her. Lygia is tied to a wooden stake in the arena. A wild bull is also placed there, and Lygia's bodyguard giant, Ursus (Buddy Baer) must try to kill it with his bare hands, otherwise Lygia will be gored to death. Marcus is tied to the spectator's box and forced to watch, much to the horror of his officers, who also attend the spectacle. When all seems hopeless, Marcus exclaims "Christ, give him strength!", whereupon Ursus is able to break the bull's neck. Hugely impressed by Ursus' courage, the crowd exhorts Nero to spare them, which the emperor is not willing to do. However, Nero's four court retainers Seneca (Nicholas Hannen), architect Phaon (D.A. Clarke-Smith), Lucan (Alfredo Varelli), and Terpnos (Geoffrey Dunn) vouch for the mob's demands by putting their thumbs up as well. Marcus then breaks free of his bonds, leaps into the arena, frees Lygia with the help of his loyal troops, and announces that General Galba is at that moment marching on Rome, intent on replacing Nero.
The crowd, now firmly believing that Nero, and not the Christians, is responsible for the burning of Rome, revolts. Nero flees to his palace, where he strangles Poppaea to death, blaming her for forcing him to make martyrs of the Christians. Then Acte, a Christian woman who was once in unrequited love with Nero, appears. Because he lived like a monster, she begs him to die like an emperor by committing suicide before the mob storms the palace. The cowardly Nero cannot bring himself to do it, so Acte drives the dagger into his chest.
Marcus, Lygia and Ursus are now free and leave Rome. By the roadside, Peter's crook has miraculously sprouted flowers. The radiant light intones, "I am the way, the truth, and the life."
