Why stipulate that? I don't understand it. Why not make the movie just about the lives of a few historical torture victims, ordinary human beings tortured to death by representatives of the Church? Well, not so much about their lives, but about their deaths. Slow motion. Though they died in so many ways, so slowly and hideously, while the Bishops and priests and friars watched, that it would have to be a very long movie. Better forget the slowmo. The moral would be that torture is bad, and we are all guilty. That would be uplifting. And remember, it would be an historical movie. On the right is a Dutch engraving of about 1590, one in a series of 53 showing the massacre of the Protestant citizens of Antwerp by Spanish Catholics on November 5, 1576.
