あらすじ
The screenplay for Dogma, written and directed by Kevin Smith, starring Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, Linda Fiorentino, George Carlin, Chris Rock, Salma Hayek, and Alan Rickman, reissued to mark the 25th anniversary resurrection of the movie with a 4K remaster worldwide release. Released in 1999, director/writer/star Kevin Smith’s ribald, revolutionary film Dogma celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2025 with a worldwide release of the 4K remaster in theaters and on home entertainment. In a statement marking the film’s 25th anniversary “resurrection”, director Kevin Smith said, “Religion is a sensitive subject, but so is humor, and Dogma aimed to bring both into the same space with heart, wit, and reverence for irreverence.” Experience that on the page with this reissue of the original script. Dogma follows two fallen angels, Bartleby (Ben Affleck) and Loki (Matt Damon), who discover a loophole in Catholic doctrine that could allow them to return to Heaven, threatening the very fabric of existence. To stop them, a group of unlikely heroes—including a faith-struggling woman (Linda Fiorentino), the erased 13th Apostle (Chris Rock), and Jay (Jason Mewes) and Silent Bob (Kevin Smith)—must prevent the apocalypse. With irreverent humor and sharp satire, Dogma explores faith, salvation, and the human experience.
作品考察・見どころ
ケヴィン・スミスによる本作は、辛辣な風刺と神学的な思索が共鳴する稀有な脚本です。表層的なユーモアの奥底に流れるのは、信仰とは教義の盲信ではなく、葛藤の中で自らの魂と向き合うことだという真摯な問い。崇高さと卑俗さを同等に扱う筆致は、固定観念を排し、読者の宗教観を鮮やかに揺さぶります。 映像版が俳優陣の熱演と軽快なテンポで疾走する一方、テキストとしての脚本は、スミス特有の饒舌で緻密な台詞の凄みをじっくりと咀嚼させてくれます。公開二十五周年を経て再誕したこの言葉の群れは、スクリーンを超えた知的な興奮と、不完全な人間への愛、そして真実の救済への深い洞察を我々に与えてくれるでしょう。
