I was reminded today that I have yet to finish watching all of Oscar's movies, so I decided I would watch one I've been hesitant to see: Agora. It tells the story of Hypatia, who was a real person and who should be known as the great woman she was, but here her story was told with a heavily anti-Christian lean. After watching it, I can agree the history is definitely skewed, blaming the Christians of Alexandria for the destruction of the library when it is believed that the library itself had dwindled to almost nothing and probably didn't even have any books in it when the Coptic Christians vandalized it. Despite its obvious bias against the Church of the era (especially making Cyril appear as an almost evil presence), the movie is beautiful, and when you have Rachel Weisz and Oscar Isaac in a movie, you know the acting is going to be amazing.
