Failing to understand the depth of this movie

Rating: 9/10 (9 May 2005)

This movie has been significantly underrated because that the majority of the early critics have been failing to understand the philosophical depth. This movie uses an analogy to subtly challenge the logic, sanity and reality of predominating beliefs, if not only religious beliefs.
The meetings of a group of authority figures resemble the form of church rulings. The personal tragic stories of a group of people have been exaggerated to impose a general religious-like beliefs, which resembles the witness in church phenomena. The turmoil of the ruling resembles the failing of such illogic predominating beliefs. The manipulation of the authorities indicates the reluctance of evidence-examining process for religious beliefs. The movie also show that good-wills combined with irrational interpretations could result in dysfunctional social behaviors.
The director has handled the movie with all above elements and express it through conversations and actions and twists.
Audiences should not approach this movie as a thrilling movie, if one does not feel or reflect on the thrills of such social unrest and religious insanity.
