Religulous Dark Knight - New political frontier

One of the most thoughtful, funny and insightful approaches to the touchy topic of organized faith and religion.
Favorite segments, interpreted by me:
Bill Maher: Do you believe you'll be taken care of in the afterlife? That you'll be taken care of?
And:
Bill Maher: So honestly, a tale of a man surviving in the belly of a whale -
I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. I need to see it again. Bill Maher approaches the subject as a curious agnostic. Questioning, challenging, travelling and talking. To be an atheist he says, is to be as fanatic about the non-existence of a higher being, which is just as dangerous as being a fanatic about certainty of a higher being's existence. As a true agnostic, he asks how can one be sure of either side? So he challenges people on their non-tolerance and closed-view thinking of the world, from double-standards from a Muslim rapper, to the ousted former members of the Mormon society, to middle America's Christian right. Excellent! |

Loved this movie. I loved Two-Face's makeup. Loved Heath Ledger (my friend had a good point, he thinks the Joker should laugh much much more, being the maniacal crazy he is). Christian Bale is as hot as evar. |
