In sports, rooting for the underdog is fun; with movies, it's torture. When a flick you like is critically panned, the common response among cinephiles is to assume a defensive crouch, ready to spring whenever the movie comes up in conversation. By now,...
If what we have seen so far in 2010, the Best Actress race could be the most exciting we have seen in some time. (Certainly more exciting than the actors at the moment, in a nice change of pace.) You can cut off the deadline right now and fill out a list...
Persecution of scientists, the poor and movie critics make up this week's round-up of theatrical releases coming home. And just when you thought the studios were ready to concede September, two more summer titles managed to find some territory. But first,...
There's a difference between a genuine artist and a filmmaker who cares about what people think of him, and prime examples of both are currently playing. First we have Alejandro Amenabar's Agora (7 screens); it's his first release after he won an Oscar...
It's all too rare when a film really impacts you. I'm not referring to some tears or laughter, but when a film rips inside your skin and grabs your core. One that makes you feel even if you resist against it. One that stays with you, makes you think, and...

This movie may deal with issues of our current time, however, this is not a realistic representation of history. Christians were the minority in Egypt at the time. Agora skews hist... ory to show that Christians were persecuting science itself, when in actuality, Cyril was attacking astrology and not astronomy. Furthermore, nowhere in history does Cyril regard women as being inferior. The majority of Agora is pure fiction with bits of history scattered throughout.

This historical epic deals with several very important issues of our era such as religion-fueled violence, suppression of science, gender-related discrimination and cruel injustice. Its central charac... ter, a woman named Hypatia, brilliantly portrayed by Rachel Weisz, is a great philosopher, scientist, peace-maker and teacher whose enlightened quest for knowledge and justice made her a victim of the ambitious, cruel, power hungry self-proclaimed religious and political leaders who ruled with the sword of darkness over the masses of uneducated civilians. âAgoraâ is a timeless masterpiece and a must see for certain! www.slavikmilbe Full Review
The posted synopsis get the movie backwards. The main character is not the slave, but rather the fourth century AD female scholar, philosopher and teacher; Hypatia, who lived in Alexandria during the... Roman Empire. This teacher seeks to preserve knowledge. See this site for a better idea of the film: http://passionateabouthistory.blo- gspot.com/2009/05/film-agora-profis-female.html. The film got rave reviews at the Cannes Film Festival! A must see!! Full Review
