Constantine

Current Mood:

After looking at the apartment, Steve and I watched Constantine. We were told that it was a really scary movie, but the scenes aren't anything you wouldn't expect from a religion-based good-vs-evil movie. You've got your demons, possessions, angels, things like that. The movie is based on a Vertigo DC Comic.

Plotline: John Constantine (played by Keanu Reeves), saw demons as a child. To escape it, he committed suicide when he was a teenager. He didn't die all the way though--he was officially dead for two minutes, then paramedics were able to bring him back.

According to Catholic faith, the souls of people who commit suicide automatically go to hell. He was in hell for two minutes, which for him felt like a lifetime because time stops down there. Anyway, he came back and knew he didn't want to go to hell again. So what he's doing now is trying to buy his way back into heaven by exorcising demons and other forces of evil for the Catholic church.

The rest of the movie builds around the son of Satan crossing over and starting the end of the world. However, for the son of Satan to do that, a divine source has to help him.

I'm not telling you anything else at this point--you'll have to watch the movie :-). It's really cool :-). There are many philosophical things that I liked about the movie, but I can't tell you any of them right now without revealing the plot :-). Besides, my entry is long enough as it is.

Maybe I'll tell you tomorrow :-).
