Review of Leviathan (2014) by Jack_Morgan — 29 Jan 2015
Well, one thing is for sure, there has never been a movie made that shows a corrupt rabbi. Always the attack on anything, no matter how remote, associated with Jesus, Iesus, Christianity, etc.
And in this movie, viewed at no cost to me, and I truly hope it loses money for the producer, portrays a Christian leader of the church giving advice that is patently, totally, utterly wrong.
In other words, the director dresses up a devil worshiper in an Orthodox priest frock and gives him a few lines that are not at all consistent with the character portrayed.
Given the exact same set of circumstances, I am confident you could not find a single Christian priest (or whatever they call them) over there that would have given the same advice, which in this case was to overrule the corrupt mayor's rare prick of conscience, to tell him to take matters into his own hands, and to forcefully do whatever was necessary to rid himself of his antagonist, instead of what a real Christian would do, and that is to advise the mayor to pursue the truth and justice, the cornerstones of what Jesus stood for.
And let's not also forget that Jesus got in the face of the "synagogue of Satan", run by the Pharisee mafia of Jesus' day. Those were the people who forced the hand of Pilot. They were the ones chanting "Crucify him! Crucify him! Crucify him!".
The sting of his resurrection, and his ubiquitous presence in the world is obviously a real burn for the synagogue of Satan, because, as we see, Hollywood, and now even Russian movie makers, will never pass up the chance to demonize Iesus (using the older spelling) and his followers, when they are the demons themselves.
While it is true corruption finds its way into the heart of every man, woman and child at one point or the other, yes, even a Christian leader, but it would also be a Jewish leader as well. Yet, in this movie, once again, we see a conspicuously over the top misrepresentation of a follower of Iesus, which leads the intelligent viewer, who isn't an empty brain waiting to be washed, to suspect all the other things the director is attempting to represent are also exaggerated.
Lastly, the timing is conspicuous, as the notoriously anti-Christian Beast of the west is attacking the Russian people's economy because they don't like Putin, a man who has the audacity to show up in church on Easter Sunday to pay tribute to the risen Lord.
Hmmph ... a bunch of little babies with too much (counterfeit) money and time on their hands.
Thumbs down to Leviathan. It is nothing more than a distorted propaganda hit piece against Putin, Russia, and Christianity in Russia.
