Title: visually pleasant
Review: The movie was visually pleasant. I found it to be metaphorical enough to merit a second and perhaps a third and later on a fourth and fifth watching. I am interested in the concept of an old man binding a group of followers to the memory of his charismatic and dead teachings for a long while, even though they themselves have lost sight of any truth in anything he might have taught. Religion deadens passion and enjoyment and truth and the capacity for relationship. People will gladly substitute the memory of a dead man's teaching for pleasure, whether it be in eating or drinking or exploring one's God given gifts... whether it be love, or children, or learning. People believe they have made a good trade. Because they have failed to face life, they have not made mistakes, and because of this they believe they are good. People go gently to hell never having lived.
