Pass Me Kleenex ... And Chocolate!

Rating: 9/10 (23 September 2017)

Wow. I needed Kleenex and chocolate after watching this.
I'm staying away from wordy summaries, because if you have a Bible, you know what happens pretty much anyway. Adam & Eve, Cain & Abel, the flood, the wars, the birth of Jesus, the death of Jesus, and Armageddon are all in this movie.
I didn't cry at The Passion, but I bawled like a baby when HIM's son was killed. If you're a mother, that scene will hit you. HARD.
If you're religious, you'll probably hate it. (I'm not, so it didn't bother me.) It portrays "HIM" as a self-absorbed, fairly inactive praise junkie who neglects his loving wife (who is doing pretty much all the work in the house, and suffers mightily at the hands of HIM's fans). Some of "HIM"s followers are good (like the soldier and the midwife/"Good Samaritan"), but many are idolatrous, fanatical, even violent. And then after all is said and done and everything is destroyed, HIM laughs and starts all over again. (Was all this a joke or a game to HIM? You have to wonder.)
Great visuals, great makeup, great acting. 9/10
