Things you should know before watching

Rating: 9/10 (19 September 2017)

This movie was a masterpiece! The first time I watched it I walked out of the cinema confused and assaulted. It didn't make sense and I found myself looking for answers but after discussing it with my brother I realized the morals and themes behind it. The whole movie is a retelling of the book of genesis and although I don't know much about Christianity I still could go back and understand each of the symbolic references along the way loving the film with everyone I found. It gave the film so much more perspective and made me appreciate it so much more I only wish I got it sooner.
Things to keep in mind when watching for the first time:

It is going to be violent and uncomfortable (just like life) there is no sugar coating it.

See everything as a metaphor or symbol not as a literal event, this story is not a literal tale but more an abstract painting.

the second act is insane and resembles a nightmare so just be prepared.

You will not get everything explained to you at the end, the answers are along the way you just have to know where to look.

Overall it was an amazing piece of art and I would like to see more bold movies like this to be made especially from studios like paramount. We need more films that get people talking, not the same old safe Hollywood crap that we see all the time.
