"But this is 1957, when it is our governments that would cheerfully declare, 'The State is us.' Which brings me to ANASTASIA, a most mediocre film which has for its theme an historical enigma, one of the stupidest and emptiest subjects in a category that never fails to fill the theaters. Docile slave that he is, Anatole Litvak directed ANASTASIA with laziness, lack of imagination and bad taste that even his advanced age cannot excuse."
Ouch! From THE FILMS IN MY LIFE by Francois Truffaut.
i keep doing this everytime someone posts it and this time it seemed so fitting to the day that i thought i'd share:
Jesus accepted Peter's profession of faith, which acnowledged him to be the Messiah, by announcing the imminent Passion of the Son of Man. He unveiled the authentic content of his messianic kingship both in the transcendent identity of the Son of Man "who came down from heaven," and in his redemptive mission as the suffering Servant: "The Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many." Hence the true meaning of his kingship is revealed only when he is raised high on the cross."
