Seagoon_@aussie.zone âš1â© âšmonthâ© agoI totally understand where that movie is coming from.
if you visit european art museums, churches and city halls they are full of paintings of martyred saints being brutally tortured. Not just a few paintings, so many. For example, the historic town hall of Leuven ( a city famous for Enlightenment values ) has a giant painting in a public room of a guy getting his intestines wound out . Why? These paintings are just hanging there , so many of them, and are totally out of context in space, time and culture.

I think it could have been done better, and made the Martyr theme more prominent. Instead it was âwatch a woman who is traumatised, go through more trauma and body horrorâ.
Actual martyrs died for a cause or a religious reason. She didnât have a long held personal belief that would warrant such treatment, it was just a fucked up cult doing it to her for a stupid reason.
Iâm glad that dumb cult didnât get the answers they wanted.

looking at the paintings you donât see a reason , there is no context at all, itâs just gruesome suffering
