Best documentary ever, 1 March 2006
10/10
Author: huangtingsz from China

The Divine Michelangelo is one of the best documentaries I have ever seen. First of all, I was deeply attracted by the grandiose architecture of the Middle Ages shown in the movie; second, I was really impressed by the three incredible and beautiful masterpieces accomplished by Michelangelo: David, paintings on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, and St Peter's dome; third, I totally sympathized at all the hardships Michelangelo underwent during his strive for the eternal fame and fortune as an outsider; last but not least, I really appreciate the persistence Michelangelo possessed throughout his life as a genius of art. Besides, the acting is super. Those soliloquies of Michelangelo's reveal very well his inner world: how bold he was to fight with his own demon, how confident he was to stick to his own belief and how determined he was to quest for perfection on his way to be an unprecedented sculptor, painter and architect. All in all, the movie is both spectacular and instructive.
