Pier Paolo Pasolini's Teorema

[ilpoetahouse]

pasolini italian pride. pasolini orgoglio dell'italia. 5 marzo 80 years from the born. 5 marzo 80 anni dalla nascita. p.p.p (1922-SEMPRE VIVO PER CHI AMA L'ARTE. POUR QUI AIME L'ART TOUJOURS VIVE)

@ilpoetahouse pardon,s'il vous plait. sorry,please: 90 ANNI FROM THE BORN

[blueelectricsmoke]

people misinterpret pasolini here. he was atheist and he was nostalgic. but he was not christian, and he was especially not catholic. he believed that we had lost what peasants once had -- a general notion of immanence as opposed to transcendence. he believed that reality *is* sacred and that's where theists had lost it (and post-industrial man would soon do the same).

[AhadVedux1984]

i finally found it on iTunes............its L'ultima corrida by Ennio Morricone.......if anybody can tell what L'ultima corrida means i would really appreciate it

@AhadVedux1984

it means the last song.

[AhadVedux1984]

@hyphenlife thanks a lot friend

[AhadVedux1984]

because of the music i will look into this scene forever....she's beautiful too

[racetoinfinity]

I agree with "sedream" and NudePanorama". The Visitor (Stamp) is Radiant Unconditional Love expressed in Divine Shock and Awakening though beauty and sex to each.

[radbrent]

version of what song?

[williamofockam]

I don't suppose anybody has any idea of the music which is in the backround?

[radbrent]

@williamofockam I NEED TO KNOW. soundtrack?

[williamofockam]

Thank you for this. Only 1:30, and yet the graceful, delicate touch of a master at work. Haven't see it for years. Something of those large streets reminds me of Pascal's fear of space.

[sedream]

Pasolini was atheist but it doesn't mean that he didn't believe in Jesus message.He regarded jesus as the symbol of love (the visitor in Teorema),and the love,according to Pasolini,could be the weapon of change .Only through the love,the man can turn his past-materialistic life into a real life!

[rubarb4rubies]

I think the mysterious visitor is Pasolini himself!

[EGI313]

Thanks, I love that film, it's simple and awsome.

[queensavethedog]

the visitor is not God is the distructor,

the distructor of bourgeois values.

and they can't live after he opened their eyes.

[85ORESTIS]

Dear barlasha...You didn't bother me at all...I'm not a christian either....Moreover,i could say that Pasolini's work is haunted by Jesus...!

[85ORESTIS]

According to Pasolini,the visitor is God,not necesarilly Jesus,but GOD itself,the idea of a banefull,enraged power...That scene is really extraordinary...! It shows ideally the abandonment and isolation....

[barlasha]

Yeah..May be that's right..But what I meant:that no God caome on the earth and changed situation as Jesus did..Anyway,I am not christian..I'm talking about movie..and I didn't want to bother someone by saying that's there's idea of Jesus

[sabr1namarques]

It's just the messanic situation. (christian nostalgy, like it was said)

[NudePanorama]

I agree with barlasha, the visitor is the symbol of some unconditioned love, something when happens it changes your perception of life for ever, like Jesus,Buddha,etc. Pasolini wasn't an atheist, he was a nostalgic christian(he believed in Jesus message but not the church interpretation)

[caifanporvida]

@NudePanorama i love the way you express this though..."He believe in Jesus message but not the church interpretation"

[rubarb4rubies]

Dear Microbico, That visitor was P.P. Pasolini, I beleive. He wanted to change the minds and hearts of all people with his films.

[barlasha]

u can not knock ouf from Jesus..Like Jesus this visitor comes and changes everything..gives people a love..and after him,noone can stay as they were..despite of Pasolini's atheism

[betokkikke]

Quite interesting interpretation!

[billyguns2]

I love the whole movie! Could you or someone please upload the scenes where the maid is seen floating in the sky and the one where the young man goes to bed with his seducer?

[NudePanorama]

Ah Pasolini.....gives me goosebumps
