The Master and Margarita (English subtitles). Part 1 (4/5)

[CaptainGrimes1]

In the book didnt Pilate offer Jesus to stay at Caesarea but Jesus refused? Though I cant remember why - he seems such a nice man in this :(

[actyme]

Jesus is talking like a hippie and has the looks of one :D not talking about the stereotypical drug abusing hippie, merely the free thinking and kind hearted kind

[more1and1more]

@actyme - Honestly I also thought of a hippie when I first saw this.

[Johnny75416]

Jesus - the Marxist?

[changethepast00]

What does 'ass' mean in this context?

Is it a type of donkey or what?

[Kora10LGA]

@changethepast00 donkey. I think this was to mimic Jesus riding on a donkey. Jeshua seems to be constructed on Jesus... even his betrayer is called Judas.

[capriuc]

Were this to be Jesus, then he was really an admirable man.

@Freshmanwave yes, he was a black bloccer. a petty, yet highly seditious vandal.

[SilvenSorrow]

@Freshmanwave This clip isn't implying anything really, it's just a fragment form a TV interpretation of a novel called "The Master and Magrarita" by Bulgakov, so anything they say is Bulgakov's opinion. In the novel, he didn't claim to be rewriting the Bible or depicting the way things really happened, these bits about Yershalaim are parts of a novel written by the Master (a main character), which by itself is fiction, not a documentary : )

Oops! "Utopian speech" in 33 B.C.? "Utopia" was written in XVI cent.

[more1and1more]

@lopik1974 WOW!!! You are positively a very observant person! I have seen it so many times, but I never noticed that before. I wonder if this mistake is in the original text.

[taradov]

@more1and1more Yep, it is. I love M&M and never noticed it.

[karandashashasha]

@more1and1more Utopia was a word widely used in Roman latin, what you refer to in terms of the XVI century is merely its dig-out and augmentation as a separate school of philosophy worthy of generations of philosophers spending their lifetime dedicated to the developments of nuts and bolts of a utopian society.

[venialsin11]

@more1and1more He is wrong.

[more1and1more]

@venialsin11 "He is wrong"

- Why?

[renegade64375]

The master wrote the novel about Pontius Pilates in 20th century, and he didn`t know anything about him.... so in this diegesis it is possible that Thomas More got the idea from whatever inspired master, btw utopia is word derived from greek words...

[nerdyharry]

@lopik1974 well, it isn't entirely infeasible that some similar terrestrial-elysium-type concept existed back then in rome, it is however virtually impossible that any published record would have been allowed to persist and develop further outside of the enclaves of wealthy intellectuals and art-patrons, hence why there is no latin equivalent to be used by our russian-speaking prokurator! :P

[CaptainGrimes1]

@lopik1974 33 A.D and Utopia is a concept of Plato 4th century B.C

[venialsin11]

@lopik1974 OOPS! HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH "UTOPIA" OF SIR THOMAS MORE!!! The word comes from the Greek: οὐ ("not") and τόπος ("place") and means "no place". The English homophone eutopia, derived from the Greek εὖ ("good" or "well") and τόπος ("place"), means "good place". Chronologically, the first recorded utopian proposal is Plato's Republic.
