I just watched this because of the 3 goddesses 😅😅 But worth watching, it takes 3 days before I finish it. Because I fall asleep. 😄😄😄 #watchingmovies #moviereview
Pilgrimage (2017): When Catholicism is Turned Into Some Kinda Magical Idolatry 😂 ( #spoiler )
Oh boy, finally finished watching this film and nah, it's lacking that much needed ooomph. This was set in the 13th century so it's got plenty of nature views. Unfortunately I wasn't able to understand the film in full because some dialogues were in French and Irish (?). There was no English subtitle for those languages anywhere on the free streaming sites I checked.
Well, despite that, near the end I almost found the story absurd and kinda laughable to use a rock as if it's a magic item that can even burn sinful people. Burning from a relic wouldn't happen to Catholic monks either! 😂 Yes it is a relic but a Catholic saint relic is not used like it has occult magical powers, nor can it be an instrument to defeat humans in wars. 😆 It's only effective against demons, especially people who are possessed by evil spirits. And such possessions are rare even in this day and age, just ask any Catholic exorcist priest. FYI, only someone who is possessed will burn or experience pain when touching any holy item.
All in all, I rate the movie a 6 out of 10 stars . Yeah the cinematography and costumes are fine enough but the story is more secular than Catholic. It's more realistic than Noah (2014) but still in the same boat as that one. Again, ignorance of Catholicism is not bliss. 😁
