خلاصه ماشینی:
"It is fascinating the the first messianic (apocalyptic) movies of the West appeared about one hundred years ago (for example, „The End of the World", 1916, a Danish science fiction drama film that depicts a worldwide catastrophe when an errant comet passes by Earth and causes natural disasters and social unrest).
Such films as Andrey Tarkovskiy‘s created a new school of cinematographers, who create messianic cinema which is not technology-and-catastrophe based but dealing with spirituality.
I should mention 2006 Russian biographical film „Ostrov" („The Island") about a fictional 20th century monk, „Siberia, Monamour" (2011, Russia) and lots of other movies that show us the clear message: spirituality is not totally lost until Islamic and post-soviet cinema (also, some independent Western film-makers) will continue to produce cinema for the heart and soul, but not for money and empty show.
Danish film director Lars von Trier (1956) created at least several films that could be called psychological messianic-apocalyptic movies.
We will talk about him a little bit later, but now we should admit that he probably understood the real coming of Messiah in the best way one can find in the Western / Russian cinema.
Badiou‘s concept, all Western cinema talking about messianism, apocalyptic times is not only art (let‘s pretend that it‘s all art), but also a specific philosophy which shows us the psychological condition of Western civilization.
This is truly apocalyptic film, reflecting fears of the big part of Western society, which is afraid of the end of the world, unfortunately, not thinking about coming of Messiah, but waiting for a catastrophe."
