In un futuro prossimo, quattro ricercatori astronauti lasciano la Terra in cerca di libertà. Per un guasto atterrano sulla faccia nascosta della luna, che somiglia a una Terra primitiva. Il loro sogno utopico, creare una società migliore e nuova, continua da parte della progenie, che deificherà uno di loro, Jerzy, chiamandolo il Vecchio Uomo. Anni dopo, dalla Terra giunge Marek, per scoprire la verità su quanto avvenuto anni prima. Una volta arrivato, viene scambiato per una reincarnazione del Vecchio Uomo, deificato a suo pari, e intimato a aiutare la popolazione contro dei mutanti chiamati Szerny, uomini-uccello. Dopo un terribile conflitto, egli viene però crocifisso dai suoi sudditi...
Diretto da Andrzej Żuławski

    Even when roughly 20% of the film was never finished, On the Silver Globe still provides more food for thought than most other films. "Love means the annihilation of all separation; the identification of the human gaze with the impersonal gaze of the universe: “There is suffering, but there is no subject of suffering. There is action, but there is no subject of action. There is solace, but there is no man to reach it. There is a road, but there is no one to follow it." This film shows that religion is not something that just randomly happened. It is something that was always going to happen—religion is part of humanity, even though not every individual is religious and not everyone believes in the same thing. On the Silver Globe also shows that religion can be frightening, that religion can be beautiful... that religion is powerful. That it is the manifestation of the power of speech and beliefs—the connection and seperation between humans. The unity within mankind, and simultaneously the distuption within mankind. The different beings in this film symbolize the different religions we have. The New Earth started with intellectual humans, then the children of these humans, bird-like humanoids called Szerns, and the Szern-human hybrids called Morks. They all look and behave different, but they also share similarities—this is what the film refers to as 'animals'. This symbolizes the religions we have today. These religions are also different from one another, yet share a lot of similarities at the core. On the Silver Globe evokes the question whether the different beings can coexist? If mankind, and its different religions, can coexist? The old man, who has wisdom in the eyes of the new humans, represents God. He is the creator of life on the New Earth. Not only is he the creator of human life on the New Earth... He is also the one that shares all the knowledge about, and originating from, the Old Earth. "My help comes from the Lord, Who made heaven and earth." - Psalm 121:2 From the perspective of the new humans, the Old Earth is not different from how we see Heaven. Both are unknown places in the sky, and both impact the way mankind live their lives. The astronaut that arrives to the New Earth halfway in the film represents a Messiah, who is sent from the sky by God to save the new humans from the Zserns, and this is exactly what he does. But once he saved the new humans from the Zserns, the new humans lost faith in him and crucified him—The Messiah sacrificed himself in order to save the new humans. Just like the new humans questioned the old man, they now question him too... "Fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God." - Hebrews 12:2 Read full review at Letterboxd: Mike_v_E
