You are more afraid to pronounce a sentence on me than I am to hear it. Of the divine substance we can know nothing, either because it is infinite, or because it is very far removed from ... the effects which are the extreme limit of the attainment of our discursive faculty; we can know only traces of it, as the Platonists say, the distant effects, as the Peripatetics say, the shell, as the Kabalists say; we can contemplate it as it were from behind, as the Talmudists say, in the mirror, in the shadows, and by riddles, as the Theosophists say.
The short Soviet animated film of 1984 "Gordano Bruno" tells about the last years of the life of the famous Italian philosopher.
Bruno’s advanced ideas about the world caused misunderstanding on the part of the Catholic Church, and after decades of persecution and persecution, he was sentenced to be burned at the stake as a heretic.
To burn is not to deny.
Giordano Bruno put forward a number of hypotheses that there are countless planets like our sun in the universe, about the infinity of worlds and the immensity of the comos. He lived in the 16th century, and at that time freethinkers were persecuted and punished by the blind system of the Inquisition.
The play of light and shadow in the animation played a positive role: from this, the atmosphere of the cartoon seems even darker. Sharp, as if throwing sounds correspond to the overall musical accompaniment. Yes, this is what a cartoon about the Middle Ages and its heroes should have been.
Is it not a betrayal to betray what I have lived for?
He who is passionate about the greatness of his work does not feel the horror of death.
The pursuit of truth is the only occupation worthy of a hero.
Science is the best way to make the human spirit heroic.
