It takes the Word of God to an all time low.Most of scripture quoted was taken way out of context.Maybe those who thought this angle would be one to explore should've spent more time learning Hebrew and Greek to fully understand what was being in words unltralegistic.There so many contradictions.Jesus said,suffer these little children for they Mine in glory.God said,to the Jews in bandage to the Roman's.Vengeance is Mine saith the Lord.I shall Repay.Whatever,retribution man could think up pales in comparison.They that harm children will be dealt with in God the Father's Courtroom.I poor pity their souls. If your looking for a movie where women are looked at as pieces of meat.Add in brutality and incest.Also,a man who thought himself God. I need only read the text in context.Jesus said,Love your wives as I loved the Church.The Church is all that have come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.What did Christ do for the Church(all of His believers.He died on the Cross and shed His sinless Blood for us.So,in other words love your wife until death becomes you.How much more could you love your wife than to lay your life down for her.So all this garbage in the move is what man does to man and woman kind. All in all,this movie tugs at the life strings and shows there is no humanity left on this Earth.God hasn't lifted His hand from the World yet.As long as we are in His hand.Let no man or woman pluck them out.They're His throughout Eternity.That's the hope that through faith cling onto. God is the very essence of Love put in Action.His Love is unconditional.How will they know we are His by Our Love.There was no love in this movie and when there was it was manipulative and masked in Lust. The movie showed that motherly instincts will always triumph.That your life which is a lie finally caught up and got you.There was much too much Dramatic Licenze shown.But that's what sells a movie. I think the Dutch Reformed Church is nothing like they depicted.In any religion you will have those that are totally out to lunch.Thank God that they All are in a Minority. This movie is definitely Not For Me. I give it 2 Stars.
