This version would have Dostoyevsky rolling in his grave. The inquisitior too resolved too proud without the deep torment and choice that led to his conclusion. It stinks of Protestant propaganda. Jesus looks to puzzled, when In fact, he has always understood.

And not just that. I wonder why directors are blind: in in the novel it is said Christ did not turn his eyes away from the Inquisitor even for a momentand that the Inquisitor was then "not dressed in his gorgeous cardinal’s robes, as he was the day before, when he was burning the enemies of the Roman Church-at this moment he is wearing his coarse, old, monk’s cassock." Not to mention intonation and other things, tell me why are directors so negligent? Do they think that this pomp adds any sense?

It really annoys me how much the words deviate from the actual story.

I have been looking for this! I love their interpretation of the story.

This is an adaptation of The Brothers Karamazov's chapter by the same name, written by Fyodor Dostovosky. This is a narration by one of the brothers, Ivan Frodovich who is explaining his ideas and philosophy to his younger brother Alyosha. This does not happen. This is just an imagination by the elder brother and he does this to explain the nature of freedom and faith. This has nothing to do with Jesus or the inquistion really. It was a crazy mind experiment, performed by Dostovosky via Ivan.

"😱For man cannot live by bread alone." "God gave his only son to die on the cross, to redeem us and offer us the gift of eternal life. NOT IN THIS WORLD BUT IN THE NEXT.' Freedom is salvation Salvation is more important than worldly pleasures.

Jacobi’s rendition is more powerful than Gielgud’s. Both are legendary in their own right, but by way of preference, I find Jacobi’s performance more compelling.

Theyre literally going to execute the guy that caused them to create an inquesition, its like firing your own boss when you yourself are lower than him

GREAT...SIMPLE AMAZING!!

Jacobi, is great. I was never that crazy about the 'zoned out Jesus' in Gielgud's version, although Gielgud himslef is terrific. You should read a good translation of the the original work, if you have not.

I thought Gielgud was both too theatrical and too emotionless.

Definitely in this episode the history of Dostoevsky is rewrite. They are added some thing to give much more effect to the story. Also, it is remarkable the performance of the inquisitor's actor. He is" less classic", that it is true, but he is perfect fit as Catholic Inquisitor not as a Catholic Cardinal, because he did not allowed too much compromises for,.... I was impressed by his performance and I took a pleasure to watch him performing.

But that's not the point of this at all. The point of this monologue is not to critique the Papacy or christianity at all. You ought to read the complete novel and to understand what this is about.

@roryboytube Год назад

Indeed, most people including myself, after the first reading believe it was a rejection of Christianity & Christ. A Protestant or atheistic view of Christ. Or that the Grand inquisitor is Satan himself. But after further readings it becomes clear it is NOT a rejection of Christianity, on the contrary it reinforces God's message that you should not seek happiness in this life, he will promise us the freedoms of choice and salvation in the next world. In this world we must have faith through suffering, overcome the temptations ( of easy bread and shelter and selfish goals in this world) in order to cleanse our sin and enter Heaven. As the inquisitor confirms, he knows that the people are easily led by bread and comfort now, over faith and suffering and he knows by that route they will be eternally damned because he has no faith in mankind. No faith in man being trusted with free will. He's not Satan but he's saying accepting Satan's temptations would have been easier for mankind to follow God and that Jesus was foolish to reject the temptations if he wanted men to follow him. And he and the church are therefore overriding Christ and accepting the Devil's offers themselves because they feel they have been given that power through the power given to st Peter to build a church. The inquisitor has underestimated God's faith in humanity. The crux of the Christian faith.

@ghana25 thata what i thought after jesus shows him the light..he feels remorse and guilt for all the harm and death they have caused.he knows he must die to rid himself of this lie of a life and cleanse his soul for redemption.he experiance the grace of god trough jesus in person and knew he was real.....this is truly amazing stuff....but the question about breaking stone to bread and the mountain are amazing as well..I wonder why he didn't show the people..maybe he thought his word was enough
