Did the MSN Messenger upgrade changed something in my IE? Why am I seeing Chinese Interface on my blog.. argh. How to change back.. HELP!!
Constantine is such a show that shows the untrue thing about the Christian faith, all thanks to the popularity of Catholism and the glamourised Christian movement in the States I guess. I think the author of the original graphic novel probably had enough of fakish Christian movements and that drew him to put down his perception of God's stand between good and evil. His portrayal of God and devil making a pact, that none of each other's world shall enter the other, is probably concocted from his mis-intepretation from the mis-representation of the Christian faith.
I mean, look. The movie actually says at the end of the day, either the devil wins (courtesy of the son set free by *surprise!* Angel Gabriel)(honestly, the director is trying to tell us that angels are neither guy or gal, but to me, turns out Gabriel has been somehow turned gay), or, the world will be saved by John Constantine, the man who has been thru 2 mins of hell and it seems like eternity (sounds like BoyzIIMen's "On Bended Knees" haha).
Mockery of God's power. Ridiculous. While I do agree that certain sets and scenes probably does mimic what hell is like, I do not think what Constantine does stylishly is enough to put the devil off in real life.
However, I am always forgiving to people who conveys their misconceptions of the Catholic faith to screen. Catholism has been used to dramatise countless Hollywood movies, I think directors must have turn to it when they ran out of storyline and is in need of ideas to bring in the believing and non-believing audience into the theatre. Catholism in the US has been made fun of so many times on screen, I think it is no longer funny. Oh yes, the most ridiculous part was when the sidekick of Constantine puts a old cross into the sewage (?!) and it becomes holy water. Wah biang.. Siao eh. So no cross, no holy water, no way to destroy the half-breeds?
C'mon man. There is no limit to God's power. He created the universe, like.. hello? He owns everything, why should he make a pact with the devil and say who owns what? "Oh yeah, screw the balance." Finally something useful extracted from the movie.
Hmm.. Something to think over and be prepared if people ask.
- There is definitely something going on between God and the devil, if not, how come there is good and bad on earth?
- You tell me God owns everything, so he cause the bad things to happen, cos he owns it?
- Isn't it true that we are the in-betweens (certainly is).
- We are under the influence of bad and good (hey, we all have conscience, right?).
- We can choose good or bad, its our choice. Of course, God owns us and he definitely owns our choices. However, he gave us freedom of choice.
- That show says God and Devil made a pact so none of them can touch me. (How many times must I tell you, that is a movie-movie-Movie! It's not real! God never created you so that he can't touch you.. ie. your heart, your soul, your spirit, your body.)
Better get bible verses to support these.. otherwise I will be just preaching my theology.. *shudders*
