Violent, but spectacular film based on the Greek religion
If you are a theology fan, you will love this film! It is based on the Greek religion, specifically that of Arkadia and other inland areas where Hades was worshipped. The movie is split into 2 halves that collide in the end - one half is the story of a leader in the Spanish civil war. The other half is his stepdaughter's adventures and trials involving the Greek religion - it turns out her mother is Persephone and her father is Hades, god of justice, and she is faced with many of the puzzles and challenges from Greek religious texts, including the temptation to eat from the table of Hades. There is also a scene with the reverse-birth of Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades, and another scene involving Kronos. Theologians like myself will be salivating! For those not as familiar, Hades was protector of the innocent and punisher of those who violated the 3 major sins, which comes together in the very end. The only complaint I had is that the movie was BRUTALLY violent.
