I saw this movie, "Black Death," a few nights ago. The trailer, above, gives you the gist of the story.
This trailer shows you the story they wish they'd made. No, "Black Death" isn't particularly exciting, but "it’s strong meat, and it works," because it's basically that rarity of rarities - a true atheist movie. As one reviewer said, "this film bathes in bloody, brutal ambiguity, intelligently casting both Christians and pagans as murderous creeps in a way that looks back objectively at 14th century ignorance while shining an ugly, knowing light on contemporary religious arrogance, too. Message: Everybody sucks. Always."
But still they ask why atheists are so angry (Haven't a clue,…). "Black Death" gets compared with 1968's "Witchfinder General" a lot - the (entire) movie above - just as I get (wrongly) compared to that movie's Vincent Price.
Accuracy shaccuracy. The point is to yell things and don't make sense. Whatever you do - don't make sense.
