Musumeci<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-drop-cap wp-block-paragraph\">The fervent expectation of the return of Jesus Christ, the Messiah, is sung every Sunday in Christian churches around the world. The Jews, who did not recognize Jesus of Nazareth as the Savior, are still waiting for their Messiah. In Islam, particularly in its Shiite branch, we wait for Al Mahdi. He will be the twelfth and final imam, the last successor of the prophet Mohammed. Allah will send him to Earth in a time of turmoil, towards the end of the last days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more Lire la suite de la critique-->\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Messiah | Bande-annonce VOSTFR | Netflix France\" width=\"1000\" height=\"563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/DoyeHl68VUc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Enough theology to come to the Netflix series <em>Messiah<\/em>. So everyone's waiting for the Messiah. And that's what the ten episodes of the first messianic season released earlier this year are all about. Because the Messiah has returned. At least, that's what some people believe. At least, that's what we assume. The entire first season oscillates between enlightened belief and skepticism. For the protagonists, and for the viewer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Follow the Messiah<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Syria, nowadays. War, misery, Daesh. A town is about to be ravaged by Islamist tanks. A windstorm stops the assault dead in its tracks. In the midst of this storm stands an unshakeable, fixed man. He speaks to the crowd sheltering from the wind. A message of hope and peace, but also a radical warning of the suffering to come for mankind. A group of men and women are seduced; they decide to follow this figure whom they acclaim as the Messiah. They follow him to the Israeli border, where trouble begins for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From the border, we find the Messiah in Jerusalem, esplanade of the Mosques. An Israeli policeman shoots a Palestinian child. And then the second miracle happens. The Messiah passes his hand over the child's mortal wound and heals him. He then disappears to a village in Texas, where further miracles provoke both fascination and distrust of this mysterious figure. In the U.S., things take off. The Messiah's arrest, trial, release, then preaching in the heart of Washington, all the way to the White House. The eyes of the world are on this man, who at this point can only be the Son of God, or the most gifted of impostors, the most dangerous sower of strife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"720\" src=\"http:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/1854724.jpg-r_1280_720-f_jpg-q_x-xxyxx.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-31006\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/1854724.jpg-r_1280_720-f_jpg-q_x-xxyxx.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/1854724.jpg-r_1280_720-f_jpg-q_x-xxyxx-585x390.jpg 585w, https:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/1854724.jpg-r_1280_720-f_jpg-q_x-xxyxx-263x175.jpg 263w, https:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/1854724.jpg-r_1280_720-f_jpg-q_x-xxyxx-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/1854724.jpg-r_1280_720-f_jpg-q_x-xxyxx-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/1854724.jpg-r_1280_720-f_jpg-q_x-xxyxx-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/1854724.jpg-r_1280_720-f_jpg-q_x-xxyxx-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/1854724.jpg-r_1280_720-f_jpg-q_x-xxyxx-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The viewer is captivated<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In any case, by producing such a subject, Netflix shows its openness to all kinds of themes. No, it's not all fisticuffs and sex on the platform. It's true, though, that when it's the return of the Messiah that's being dealt with in a mainstream series, you can expect a lot of nonsense. Well, this is not the case. <em>Messiah<\/em> has its share of clich\u00e9s, flaws and even enormities, but it's certainly not an uninteresting series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Le spectateur est captiv\u00e9. Il ne peut que difficilement s\u2019arr\u00eater apr\u00e8s un \u00e9pisode. Chaque fin d\u2019\u00e9pisode appelle avec urgence le prochain. Vous me direz que c&rsquo;est le but d\u2019une s\u00e9rie. Je vous r\u00e9pondrais que c\u2019est le but auquel parvient une s\u00e9rie r\u00e9ussie. Le r\u00e9alisateur Michael Petroni a \u00e9t\u00e9 bl\u00e2m\u00e9 pour blasph\u00e8me par quelques bigots, mais personne n\u2019a pu lui reprocher le d\u00e9coupage en \u00e9pisodes de sa premi\u00e8re saison. La proc\u00e9dure est assez classique. On coupe \u00e0 un moment fatidique, puis on reprend l\u2019\u00e9pisode suivant par un prologue sans r\u00e9attaquer directement l\u2019action en cours dans l\u2019\u00e9pisode pr\u00e9c\u00e9dent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And even in terms of other formal elements of the production, there's really nothing to criticize Petroni for. <em>Messiah<\/em> n\u2019a pas la photographie d\u2019un film d\u2019auteur, c\u2019est certain, mais la mise en sc\u00e8ne comme les d\u00e9cors rel\u00e8vent d\u2019un bon niveau. Surtout pour les sc\u00e8nes de d\u00e9sert, o\u00f9 l&rsquo;on s\u2019y croit vraiment. On est r\u00e9fugi\u00e9 avec les r\u00e9fugi\u00e9s dans l\u2019\u00e9tendue chaude et infinie, en suivant un Mo\u00efse ou un Messie sans savoir ce qui nous attend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1400\" height=\"700\" src=\"http:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/messiah.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-31007\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/messiah.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/messiah-1170x585.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/messiah-585x293.jpg 585w, https:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/messiah-150x75.jpg 150w, https:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/messiah-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/messiah-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/messiah-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/messiah-600x300.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Messiah in training<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The characters' construction seemed rather caricatured and superficial in the first two episodes; however, their complexity is revealed as we get to know them a little, as we follow them. Whether it's CIA agent Eva Geller (Michelle Monaghan) or Israeli secret service agent Aviram Dahan (Tomer Sisley). Both are chasing the Messiah, but there are many other ghosts haunting their respective personal histories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Le pasteur texan et sa famille que vient visiter le Sauveur r\u00e9servent les plus grandes surprises au niveau de leur \u00e9volution. Et l\u2019acteur qui joue le r\u00f4le du pasteur (John Ortiz) est le plus \u00e9mouvant et le plus prenant de tous.

Well, if I tell you he's got a beard, long hair and looks like a hippy, you'll say he's a caricature. Yes, Al Massiah has all the makings of a redundant Christian figure. But let's drop the toga, the djellaba or any other dress and move on to the training bien de la <em>street<\/em>, a very fashionable character. Beyond his appearance, this character is interpreted with great conviction by Belgian actor Mehdi Dehbi - once! - who knows how to make his Messiah just as profound and tough with his elusive eyes as he is unbearable with his elusive words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Messiah is vague; he always evades questions, either by answering them too simply, or by taking detours that lead nowhere. He doesn't even answer the question of whether or not he is the Messiah. He's content to say \u00abyou're the one who says so\u00bb, or \u00abif it's God's will\u00bb, or other such loopholes. This is what fascinates the followers who drink in his words; it is what annoys those who see in him only a clever man, an impostor, who manipulates a flock of lost sheep to his own ends. In this respect, the resemblance with the figure of Jesus in the Bible is quite apt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1081\" height=\"720\" src=\"http:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/5293213.jpg-r_1280_720-f_jpg-q_x-xxyxx.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-31009\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/5293213.jpg-r_1280_720-f_jpg-q_x-xxyxx.jpg 1081w, https:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/5293213.jpg-r_1280_720-f_jpg-q_x-xxyxx-585x390.jpg 585w, https:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/5293213.jpg-r_1280_720-f_jpg-q_x-xxyxx-263x175.jpg 263w, https:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/5293213.jpg-r_1280_720-f_jpg-q_x-xxyxx-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/5293213.jpg-r_1280_720-f_jpg-q_x-xxyxx-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/5293213.jpg-r_1280_720-f_jpg-q_x-xxyxx-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/5293213.jpg-r_1280_720-f_jpg-q_x-xxyxx-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/5293213.jpg-r_1280_720-f_jpg-q_x-xxyxx-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1081px) 100vw, 1081px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Too American-centric<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Except that Netflix's Messiah is far more politicized than Jesus. Even a little too much so. This is not a criticism of the fictional character created by Michael Petroni, but of Michael Petroni himself. The voice he gives his main protagonist when he talks about US foreign policy is hardly worth a pub chat. It's all about grand assertions, grand theories that obviously lead to the conclusion that the Americans and their soldiers aren't very nice, and that in the end, if the USA withdrew its troops from the Middle East, peace would reign throughout the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From a political point of view, then, the script doesn't accomplish much; it's more content to spout banalities, most of which are false. Not to mention that the only countries mentioned are Israel, the Palestinian territories, Syria, Iran, Russia and the USA. Thanks for the rest! So, Christ, it's good for the CIA, Mossad, but it doesn't matter about the rest. All in all, too American-centric.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The heart of <em>Messiah <\/em>remains the question of the Messiah's return, and even more so of his reception by mankind. But this question is posed in a work of fiction. So it makes no sense to cry blasphemy or whatever. In a novel, as in a film, you build the character you want as you want. You draw the features of the Messiah, the Christ, a terrorist, a magician, an impostor or a madman as you wish to show them. At worst, a touch of indecency or bad taste will be denounced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"720\" src=\"http:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/4391831.jpg-r_1280_720-f_jpg-q_x-xxyxx.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-31010\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/4391831.jpg-r_1280_720-f_jpg-q_x-xxyxx.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/4391831.jpg-r_1280_720-f_jpg-q_x-xxyxx-585x390.jpg 585w, https:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/4391831.jpg-r_1280_720-f_jpg-q_x-xxyxx-263x175.jpg 263w, https:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/4391831.jpg-r_1280_720-f_jpg-q_x-xxyxx-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/4391831.jpg-r_1280_720-f_jpg-q_x-xxyxx-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/4391831.jpg-r_1280_720-f_jpg-q_x-xxyxx-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/4391831.jpg-r_1280_720-f_jpg-q_x-xxyxx-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/4391831.jpg-r_1280_720-f_jpg-q_x-xxyxx-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are you ready?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Be that as it may, nothing would seem more far-fetched and out of place than a Messiah these days.
