It was a beautiful movie in every way. I went having no idea what to expect, and I was entranced.
I hated it on the surface.
I couldn't get the thought of "strange flesh" and "kind after kind" out of my mind, and trying to present it as something beautiful instead of the abomination it is set a bad taste in my mouth and all through the movie I was thinking to myself "... BUT ....".
"I'm glad you have found some happiness ...... BUT ...."
It's that same feeling I get when I watch a movie where someone commits adultery.
"Sure, you are happy ..... BUT ...."
The popularity of stories of mating with with "strange flesh" is really on the rise these days, and a lot of the population is thinking about how cool that would be and wish they could find such a mate.
Did the days of Noah's time teach us nothing?
On the other hand, a movie can use extreme type characters to portray a message really doesn't have anything to do with what the actual characters are.
The Life of Pi comes to mind.
The story told of a boy's experience with wild animals, when the real message of the story had nothing to do with wild animals.
So even if the types of characters used in a story may be an oddity, it is the message/moral being portrayed that is the real story and not the types of characters themselves.
To tell the truth, I had a hard time figuring out what the moral message of this movie was supposed to be.
What did you find the moral message to be, Anna?
