I had a deeply profound spiritual experience while watching this movie. It caught me totally off-guard. I highly recommend The Man Who Knew Infinity to anyone who considers themselves open-minded, polytheistic or spiritual.
This is a story of Hinduism (polytheism) versus the stale, sterile secularism and atheism of the West. Most of us in the West coming from the Abrahamic tradition (Judaism, Christianity and Islam) have a profound prejudice towards Hinduism because it is polytheistic. But there are powers outside of ourselves which we simply can't explain.
It's so ironic that this incredible mathematical breakthrough came from a spiritual source and nobody would listen because some of the most brilliant men on earth had totally closed minds!

This is a really fun and positive movie! Gods Of Egypt has very hot guys and gals so no matter what your sexual preference is there's somebody who will get you excited. The acting is excellent. There is real chemistry between the actors. I identified with many of the story's characters. That made me feel good. You don't need to know anything about the Egyptian Gods to understand what is going on. The story is well balanced, it has a solid beginning, middle and end. The Gods of Egypt keeps your interest from beginning to end. There's a lot of variety. So much is going on and that's one of the reasons I love adventure movies. The cinematography and the CGI are fantastic. You really enter another world without hesitation. This Is Pagan Friendly Film About the Egyptian Gods! There's no camp here. The Egyptian Gods are respected and feel quite real. This is a story about love, hormones, real courage and dare I SAY SELF-SACRIFICE! Yes! There is a really positive spiritual message in the Gods of Egypt.Wow!
I was once a devout Christian and I was very involved with my church and I believed everything I was taught. I even seriously considered becoming a member of the clergy.
1. Christianity is not all about martyrdom or victimization. The Roman authorities also abused many pagans especially Bacchus worshipers and any pagan who did not bow down before Rome. A person's paganism was no protection from Roman conquest. As far as Rome was concerned, Christians were just another cult that did not bow down to Rome. Plain and simple.
2. Watching Risen was like watching a horror movie. I have been going to movies for for over 40 years so I have some perspective. I realize this is a current trend. For some odd reason Hollywood thinks graphic grossness will sell.
3. I beg you not to take your children to see this really twisted film unless you want to deliberately shock them. I guarantee YOU will be planting the seeds of fear and/or resentment in your children. I don't need my children to see extreme violence masquerading as spirituality. How twisted can you get?
4. Many of my family members and friends are Jewish. This film is subtly or not so subtly - depending on your point of view - anti-Semitic. Jesus was a Jew, not a Christian. There is not one word in the new testament telling his followers to abandon their Jewishness. There is plenty corruption and hypocrisy in every religion. Why the constant focus on hypocrisy within Judaism? Like this is anything new? Corruption and hypocrisy affects EVERY religion, my dear Christians!
5. Why the constant focus on past events? Jesus made it crystal clear: THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS WITHIN YOU! That means whats most important is what is happening NOW, not 2,000 years ago.
6. Last, but not least, the Roman Empire was not nice. Only the Scots in Scotland and the German tribes in the North prevented Rome from conquering the Arctic! But war porn and spirituality do not mix. Why do Christians put up with such nasty crap? Only Hollywood would make a grossly violent movie about the Prince of Peace and not hear so much as a peep from the Christian world! You cowardly Hollywood worms try this with another major religion and see what happens! I can only pray the Christian world someday wakes up!
