I took my baby sister to see Devil (because she likes horror movies and I like thrillers, especially around Halloween).    Seeing as M. Night Shyamalan is behind it, I was intrigued.

Okay, I figured out the plot twist thanks to being an Agatha Christie fan.  However, I was surprised by the spiritual depth of the film as well as the cinematography.  I won’t reveal everything but there were two main themes: Confession and Forgiveness.  If we do not have those two, we are damned to Hell (whether literally or figuratively).

Another great message is that, if there is a Devil, then there must be a God.  God is not mentioned until the very end of the film, but it is the whole point of the film.  I think that is what Nihilist, Existentialists, and some Atheists and Agnostics miss.  They think “Oh, there is evil in the world, so there must be no God.”  However, how can there be evil, if there is no good?

SEE THIS FILM!  It is a fun philosophical and theological film.

Until Our Next Meeting,

Also, there was secretly a “wear your seat belt or DIE” message in the film.

Education, English, Film, movies, The Dead Poet's Society

I finally saw The Dead Poet’s Society today.  I am an English Education major so it is kind of important that I see it.  It was good.  I didn’t think it was the greatest movie in the history of the world, but Robin Williams was brilliant in it.  He still had his passion you see in all his films, but in this one it is more focused and less chaotic. 

It was a bit strange though to see Ethan Hawke and Robert Sean Leonard so young. 

Until Our Next Meeting.
