Hangman's Curse | Year: 2003 Classification: Drama Directed: - Rafal Zielinski Addresses issues some feel afraid to talk about I have to admit I wasn't sure if I would like this movie. I am a Christian, but I hate to say it, a lot of Christian movies have left me wanting more. I bought this as a gift for a sick family member, and watched it with my family. I'm not ashamed to say that this movie had excellent connotations and considerations, and hit home on several issues that need to be directed upon. The biggest issue is that of bullying and bullies. As in Columbine, remember that?, Frank Peretti's book and movie was not so much about telling people how to be saved, but to address point blank the horrors found in our schools today. Whether its the jocks against the nerds against the goths, there's pain spread all around, and sooner or later, as seen on national news these days, something gives. And usually, that ends up with someone or someones dead. This movie talks about this in very good ways, very realistic ways, showing the anger and the attacks and the psychological damage done by bullying. The main characters are thrust into having to see the cause an artial brain transplant as a child, which enables him to synchronize with the "neuronoid" robots so well; Hinoki is Lamia's sister (which explains the matching rainbow hair); etc. The visuals range from CG images of brains to the Aztec Calendar Stone (erroneously described as Peruvian), while the dialogue runs to pseudo-biological jargon, quasi-mystical references, and shameless borrowings from e n versions on DVD Buy Hangman's Curse at Amazon.com Buy posters at Allposters.com Jamster - the latest ringtones for your phone!
