In this case i would say don't review a movie you can't understand. i've read some of the user reviews.....clueless anyone? While yes most of you caught on to the general themes of the movie you missed the sublter plot points that made the movie enjoyable. Did the movie come across as it was likely intended, No. i'll give you that. it wasn't a horror or even a suspense flick nor was it a dark comedy. It was a quirky middle road (well not the horror part but the suspense and comedy.) And the "Bad Guy" didn't win. the point was taht the Sin Eater wasn't evil. he was kinda like a Catholic unsanctioned black ops agent (yes there all kinds of problems with that analogy and i'm sure you'll all like to shoot holes through but keep in mind i'm using it loosely) he handled the stuff "the Church" didn't want to deal with. and as to the idea that that "the Church" has the power to forgive sin i think that's hogwash as well but i also don't believe in the logic of "a long time ago in a galaxy far far away" or the existance of platform 9 3/4....but i still liked the movies that used them as logic and plot devices. Basically what i'm saying is lighten, suspend that ol disbelief for a couple of hours and just settle in for a good show. |
