The Mill And The Cross	comment	Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })The Mill and the Cross is a 2011 film by Polish filmmaker Lech Majewski. It is based on Pieter Bruegel the Elder's painting "The Way to Calvary◊" and depicts scenes from the lives of the Loads and Loads of Characters in it.We see a young man arrested and executed by red shirted mercenaries (presumably because he is a protestant), travelling rogues and musicians, and a miller who watches everything from his heaven-like vantage point on top of a massive crag. We also see the crucifixion, and hear reflections from the Virgin Mary.In between, we hear conversations between Bruegel (played by Rutger Hauer) and his patron (Michael York), discussing the composition and meanings of the picture.

The Mill And The Cross / int_76dc3807	comment	Alone in a Crowd: Bruegel and his patron discuss the fact that Christ himself is hard to spot in the middle of all the figures when first viewing the picture. A close look actually reveals that he is the focal point of the whole scene, with the crowds radiating from him in lines, like the strands of a cobweb.

The Mill And The Cross / int_8543ec22	comment	Reality Subtext: In-Universe, it is made clear that Bruegel is depicting the "Roman" soldiers executing Jesus as Spanish mercenaries. He is criticising the political realities of his own time and place.
