Religulous (2008) review
Bored to tears? Write some stuff about it »
Religulous is directed by the same fellow that did "Borat" and it's co-authored and presented by Bill Maher, a Catholic Jew crossbreed. What's to be expected from such a mixture?
Yet another bitter "comedy" about this very world, regarded as a final product of religions for the masses. The true genius of the movie resides in the critique of the religion of man, the metaphysics left aside, with divine (!) modesty, where it belongs: the ineffable realm of the "I don't know". If it would have given to the usual atheistic crap, "Religulous" would have been crap itself. In turn, it achieves bitter magnificence.
As Heidegger said that Nietzsche was the greatest christian he knew, so does Bill Maher become, at the very end, perfectly compatible with the quintessential hypothetical christian. This is not ridiculous, if we remember that the first and only christian died on the cross, and everything else that followed was pretty much man-made disgusting circus, composed for monkeys by monkeys (FMBM), lasting to this very day. Maher's perspective is far more "religious" than any of the grotesque habits that claim this label for themselves.
This is an authentic movie. Therefore fully qualified to rule, in my book. However, unsurprisingly, judaism is sort of left aside from the big slapping the others get. Oh, well.
See it. Then realize that the final choice desperately suggested at the end is completely futile, because it involves humans. Unfortunately, the mechanisms have been long set in motion and it's just a matter of time, now.
