Constantine
I went, on a total whim, to see the latest Keanu Reeves film - Constantine. The verdict: mixed - a bit of odd theology, some really good bits, some cliches, some OTT special effects, but there was always Keanu Reeves to carry through the bad bits!
Anyway - there was a really good sound-bite from it. Keanu plays Constantine - a kind of fallen, but good, guardian angel/exorcist type of guy. Had a rocky life, lots of baggage, working through his 'calling', but struggling. He's talking to this high priest sort of figure about life/God/the universe, and the guy starts to impart some wise advice about God (my overall memory's a little hazy - can you tell?!)...and Constantine, interrupting him, is like 'yeah, I know' - of course he knows, he's experienced God, descended to hell, conversed with the angel Gabriel...he knows. So the high priest sort of guy responds, 'yeah you KNOW, but do you BELIEVE...?'.
I just thought it was good...watch the film I'd say, the good bits are worth persevering with the bad bits!
