Mary Magdalene (2018)

Mary Magdalene is a biblical character appear in Christian Gospels. Director, Garth Davis recreate this character by giving credits to the character who is the first witness of resurrection of Jesus. The plot focuses on Mary Magdalene which is the first time Jesus in the supporting character. The story begins at Magdala fishery village, Israel. Mary is a young woman who is given to word to marry a neighborhood. The drama plausibly suggests that Mary was a fiercely intelligent, resourceful woman who rejected the male norms of marriage and children laid down for her, and insisted on following Jesus. This was what caused her to be (at least initially) condemned as mad or possessed: it is entirely convincing. When she takes up her new position among the apostles, the film suggests that she does indeed become a favourite pupil, permitted à deux confidences on hillsides. But all this means for Mary is doing an awful lot of enlightened gazing at Jesus, who in turn does a good deal of infinitely knowing smiles back at her, while their dialogue is muted and restrained. Most of the film is rather boring, but it did have an interesting twist in the end.
