Some of the more Melodic passages are truly a wonder to behold, but for mine, their strength lies in the sheer bloody brutality of the Death side. Twiddly diddly guitar parts aside, acoustic pleasantry aside, look the fuck out.
These guys bring a bigger axe to the fight than the one you thought would do the job. A very well talented machine. Your pathetic existence that is your life will flash before your eyes as you stare deep into the basket that shall soon be the new home of your head.
I kid you not. Funny fact too, the Vocalist is named Diva Satanica. The love scenes are sensuously done and the general tone of the film is poignant and sensitive. The film was nicely photographed with various filters to give it an old feel without losing the richness.
Director Neil Jordan did a fine job of giving the film a genuine look of the period with proper English costumes from the 's. Ralph Fiennes was excellent as the jealous lover. He played the character as civilized and staid with molten lava just beneath the surface. He was masterful at conveying strong emotion with a sideways glance or hand gesture without losing his composure.
Julianne Moore has added another fabulous dramatic performance to her resume as Sarah. She played the part with fatalistic passion, victimized by vortex of events she felt powerless to control. Stephen Rea also shined as the impassive cuckold. Rea tends to be very understated in his portrayals, often too much so.
But he was the perfect choice for the hapless Miles; so intellectual, withdrawn and defenseless. His phlegmatic response upon being confronted by Bendrix about their affair, showed a resigned helplessness that was both pathetic and believable. It is finespun yet powerful. It takes its time unfolding, so if you like pace this film might test your patience. But if you enjoy a good old fashioned steamy love triangle, this film will do nicely.

Although many people think that moderation is the key, the author does not agree. In fact, he does not even accept the notion of religious restraint. The true religion, he says, lies in fundamentalism, and anyone who is moderate is not religious. And, numbering some real-life examples, he goes on with his thesis that fundamentalism pushes people to war. Lastly, he underlines the difference between faith and spirituality. He explains the difference between the two based on how rational they are.
He defines spirituality as a sensible concept. He states that belief in things that humans cannot explain or see only blocks truth. He strongly condemns faith as being irrational and unschooled, and truly bad for society. Religion is bloody and violent 2. Religion and Ethics 3. God the Author.
Historical events teach us that religion has bloody routes. Christians have burned heretics, who proclaimed the truth about the world that was false according to religious truths. People that could have made an impact on the scientific revolution of the world were tortured and killed for centuries.
Islam is the same. Muslim extremists practice an extreme faith. They take each word of the Koran to heart and follow the directions they believe it gives them. The Koran, according to the author, is not a peaceful book. He illustrates that it is full of passages on violence and intolerance.
The author points out that people that practiced some faith or the other have indeed contributed to society. But, it is important to note that it has nothing to do with their faith.
