Hi hi! Omg, I absolutely LOVE everything you said and I totally would have given this comment proper attention if finals hadn't been chewing me alive!
Holy fangirl, this movie IS too smart for Americans, you are so right! I felt the same way with every plot turn. Like, when I watched it I was so blown away by every scene that I kept having this compulsion to rewind because I couldn't believe the level of awesome. "OMG DID THAT JUST HAPPEN THAT WAY? I CAN'T BELIEVE IT I NEED TO WATCH AGAAAAAAIN. THIS IS SO GOOD. *HOW* IS THIS *THAT GOOD*?"
DAVUS. I love his character and the AMAZING way they portrayed his journey and the way his conflict comes across through the screen. My heart! But... even though he sort of redeems himself at the end (and the flashbacks are TOO ADORABLE, HAIR RUFFLING!) I can't help but kind of hate him for choosing cowardice, even if there are a monster of factors battling against him and it's a completely understandable struggle. God this movie makes me so conflictedddddddd. Orestes is the one that just KILLS ME. He totally loves and *gets* Hypatia and even if it's not reciprocated he still just wants her around because he *accepts* her, and the way he chooses Christianity as a means of survival and THAT ~MOMENT AT THE END. HYPATIA CUPS HIS FACE AND TELLS HIM THAT EVEN IF HE WANTS TO KEEP FIGHTING, CYRIL HAS ALREADY WON. I DIEDDDDD, I CANNOT EVEN.
Word. Best movie about ellipses EVER. I've been watching clips as I write this and crying all over again, GOD. SUCH PERFECTION. <333333
