The Believer

Last night i watched the movie "the believer." I'm still not sure how to process the film actually. I love films like that because they leave you with this with this unexplicable unsettledness. it's not that there isn't a resolution either, it's just that it leads you to continue to think about it even after it's end.

the movie is based in modern new york and follows danny, a 20-something struggling with the dissention between his beliefs and his heritage.

this movie probes the questions of religion, family, and self-hatred and it's an examination into the forces of religion and intolerance both within the individual and for society as a whole. Danny is torn as he processes how to live in light of his jewish heritage and how he observes religion and faith in the world.
