Pasolini's Christmas

It will probably rank as one of most beatiful movies I have ever seen. The most beatiful scene is Christmas:



Pasolini says that the Gospel is one of the many books of religious propaganda that had been written.
Christ empowered the weak, Christ is the protector of the weak. Nietzsche is the anti-christ when he talks about the need for protection of the strong against the weak.
This is the Nietzschean warning: the weak are controlling you, you live in a world made by the weak for the weak. That is the world of Christ. Christ says: be weak and I will protect you.
Christ, as this movie shows as no other, is not humble, he is not weak, he is an incredibly strong and obstinate young man. A powerful christ protecting the weak. Warning the masses: "be weak and you will be protected!".
