Tulip Fever (2017)
Ha Ha Ha! What a silly movie. It's silly on two fronts: one is the script that looks like a child wrote it and not the "best living playwright in the UK," Tom Stoppard, and the other front is all the serious actors and crew who thought they were making an Oscar contender. So the movie has great production values, and you can see it cost a lot of money, but the plot and the writing are ridiculous. Like Judi Dench's cliché character of a wise and badass nun (the best movie about nuns ever is "Benedetta"). Or Cara Delevingne's character, which is the most glorified cameo in cinema—it's as if someone on the set suddenly noticed Delevingne among the background actors, so they quickly gave her some noticeable spots in a few scenes and even a few lines that no one pays any attention to.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
