The Most Provocative Film Since Leni Riefenstahl

Rating: 3/10 (3 January 2013)

I'm giving it a 3/10 to actually give some credit to the cinematographers incredible work in this film, and for some of you to actually take me seriously before you see that one star and move on to another review which seems more reliable. Hopefully it works, because you should hear this.
I didn't know much about this film before I saw it, probably saw the trailer half-asleep, or maybe I saw some still photos from it - whatever it was, something made me want to go and see it.
It started out nicely, the characters were more than interesting. Then came all the religion, and I very much respect some how people turn to god, but I have already made up my mind, and I'm getting very tired of having this religious propaganda shoved right in my face ever so often.
The worst thing about it is how sad it made me, I'm literally sad because it could've been so good. I was so in love with the plot, and I even tried to look through the religious propaganda in the beginning, but it got too much when they tried making me believe we somehow had a choice in the end of what to believe.
To avoid spoilers I'll make a metaphor out of the ending, to explain what I mean about the so-called choice they gave the audience in this film; The main character presents an ice cream cone in his one hand, and looks delicious as hell (read; beautiful cinematography and touching relations). In his other hand he's holding a big turd - the turd has been through a lot, but a turd never looks tasty. He then makes you choose which one you prefer. (I checked the spoiler box just in case, don't wanna be blacklisted in case I maybe write some less personal/biased reviews some day, this film didn't deserve that though).
This film is probably a 10/10 for the people who likes to be tickled by a turd though.
To summarize my feelings; It could've been sooo good which is what makes me so sad to see it wasted, and if I was religious I would've prayed for this film to drop all the propaganda. At the beginning I was already thinking "I'm getting this one on bluray", now all I can think of is downloading it, burn it on a DVD and Pi on it - to get something out of the lost time at the cinemas tonight.
