Yes that's excactly right, the high up members of the church had all the power and abused it, used religion and fear of purgatory to control the plebians and hid "dangerous" books from intellectuals like Sean Connerys character.
I watched a blu ray rip so picture was fine, I just don't think the film had anything to say that I hadn't already thought of myself that is all. I get why other people might get more out of it.
I saw that film 30 years ago, and it really opened my eyes to how people can use power to hide. Dont know if you were alive then but even then it was almost considered blasphemy to even question someone from the Church or a Politician, let alone way back then. I still see it today, try to question a Doctor or if you live in Russia , try questioning Putin and see if your still alive in a year.
I really can't remember how good the film was in terms of Cinematic greatness, I just remember i was pretty influential in the idea and ways of questioning authority.
