The Gardener of God

The worst movie ever made. At least the worst biography ever made. One would assume by watching a Gregor Mendel biography movie,you would learn about the life,works,and spirituality of Gregor Mendel but alas,the writer of this movie thought otherwise. Instead of background for the title subject,the movie focuses on the lives of characters in mid-19th century Austria who have little to no connection with Mendel at all- Fr Mendel being reduced to a back ground character with some pseudo science talk to explain his life's work in founding genetic research. Half way through the film and all the viewer will know about Mendel is that he was a priest who spent a lot time with pea pods. The lives of the other characters take the focal point but even there we know of no reason for them being there-absolutely no character development or any sign of a plot in sight. Truly a terrible movie and a waste of opportunity to make a film about a great pastor /scientist.
