Hypatia of Alexandria i…More

Hola, querido hiver. Como primera reseña cinematográfica para este año he elegido Agora, haciéndole un guiño al pasado. Se trata de un film español del año 2009 dirigido por Alejandro Amenábar. Conocía algunos de sus trabajos anteriores y me gustaban. Unido a que Rachel Weisz, la actriz protagonista, es una de mis favoritas desde que hizo *La Momia*, era de esas apuestas prácticamente seguras. La acción se desarroll…More
Image Director Alejandro Amenábar crafted a true epic for the ages with Agora, a riveting historical saga that stirred me on an intellectual and emotional level. Rachel Weisz gives perhaps her finest performance as Hypatia, the renowned mathematician, philosopher and teacher and beacon of wisdom in a darkening world. Set against the turbulent declines of the Roman Empire and rise of mob-ruled Christian orthod…More
Image Hello dear friends, today I want to talk a little and comment on a film that I really like, set in a time of profound changes and that shows us the vision of director Alejandro Almenabar on certain things such as intolerance, fanaticism and ignorance. Released in 2009, it stars Rachel Weiz as Hypatia, Oscar Isaac as Orestes and Max Minghella as Davo the slave, with the inclusion of important secondary characte…More

Hypatia was a mathematician and philosopher who lived in Egypt between 350/370 and 415. She was a brilliant teacher, whose class was open to any student regardless of social strata. Hypatia was particularly intrigued by the "wanderers" the movement of the stars and Earth and our juxtaposition with the sun. Hypatia's students went on to many high ranking positions in Alexandria. Hypatia (Rachel Weisz) was m…More
If i could be granted one wish to go back in time, one place would be very high on my list. The Library in Alexandria. This was the center of knowledge and learning in the ancient world for many centuries and when it was destroyed, much of recorded philosophy and science went with it. According to records, this may have happened over several centuries, but a key point is obviously, when the Christians overtook the c…More
