david-sarkies I watched this movie quite a few days ago but I have been so busy that I have not been able to talk about it yet. I have a bit of time now so I will try to discuss this rather unusual movie. Go To Hell is an animated epic that traces the life and conflict of a father and a son across the entire expanse of human history. A powerful corporate executive notices that his world is coming to an end so he builds two suspended animation booths, puts them onto a shuttle, and takes an Eco ship to find a new world. He and his son sleep in the booths while the inhabitants live their life on the ship. The two become legendary figures as the generations pass, but when they arrive at a planet they both awake. The son goes to inhabit the planet but the father G.D. decides that he wants to destroy the planet and use it for his own purpose. His son decides to fight against him and thus both hide in the suspended animation booths and wake up a various points through history to influence the world in an attempt to undermine each other.This movie has been described as poking fun at religion, but rather it simply pokes fun at Christianity. This movie would anger a lot of fundamentalist Christians because it really has a go at God and Satan. My opinion is that Nowland simply is relying on myth rather than actually checking the facts out in the bible. Everything relating to biblical events including the Ark of the Covenant is basically wrong. The Ark was not stolen, nor given to the people by God but actually built by the Israelites. Surfing was not the reason that Jesus walked on water nor did he raise people from the dead because he used first aid. This movie can be very offensive if not viewed with an open mind. Watching this movie I feel sad because Nowland did not check his facts with the source, but rather relied upon what people generally believed.The most offensive part of the film is the suggestion that Satan is the son of God and that Satan is really the good guy and the God is the bad guy. The miracles are due to technology and not really miracles and God and Satan are just normal people who live long because they are return to their suspended animation capsules after a few years. In this film God is a greedy capitalist who wants to make a slave race while Satan is a kind communist, who really is Jesus' father, that wants everybody to live happy and free from oppression. God wants everybody oppressed while Satan wants them free and happy.G.D.'s divine complex appeared after the many years he spent travelling through space. The people in the ecodome became poorer and poorer and more and more isolated from the top. The captain became the enforcer police who forcefully kill trouble makers. The inhabitants are purposely kept poor and controlled by mind-numbing television. After the centuries of travelling, G.D. becomes known as God and the inhabitants even begin to argue whether he exists or not. He has no intention of freeing the people on the ship as he decides to destroy the planet he finds with a meteor while telling the population that the planet is not habitable. In the end the people in the ecodome become horrid mutations after centuries of inbreeding and loose all form of intelligence.My opinion of this movie is that it has a very good plot, if the theological implications are ignored. The plot works well and leads us to think about the implications of corporate power. In this movie the corporations are evil, and God supports them. It takes the typical American view that God is a capitalist but it says that Capitalism is evil. In the final minutes, Red appears on screen and makes an impassioned plea to the viewers to look after the planet, though he speaks of unity and harmony among the people if such things are looked after. I say bull because we are sinful people. If we were not we would be living in a blissful society, but wars have raged for ages and are still raging. Murder and rape is on the increase and so is divorce. If it was possible for us to solve our problems then these would be going down or even gone, but this is not the case. Instead we are facing a world that is falling apart because of our sinfulness.Theologically this movie is very bad and wrong, but it does address a lot of things and I do appreciate the anti-corporate ideas. The impassioned plea should be directed at the corporate bosses who want to accumulate as much capital as one can get. Unfortunately there is a limit to what anybody can buy, and in the end the money does nothing for you. The only thing that can go to heaven with you are Christian friends. For those who do not know God then money is only a short term solution to the wrong problem. We are at odds with the creator and he is not a harsh corporate giant but rather a loving father who sacrificed his one and only son so that we might be forgiven by him. Peace with God is important, money is not, and to have peace with God all one needs to do is ask. Anybody desiring to have peace with God needs only to ask. He dearly desires a restored relationship with us and will welcome all into his loving and fatherly arms.

dbborroughs The premise of this film is that GD, his son Red and a space ship load of other people end up on earth after they can no longer go home. GD had stocked the ship with genetic information in order to save his dying world and he now uses it to manipulate the creatures on earth for his own benefit. All the while he's challenged by his son, who thinks that his dad should leave well enough alone.Spinning out the biblical tales as a scifi battle between father and son this is at times very clever take on mankind's origins. Dealing with allusions of everything from the Garden of Eden, Moses, Christ, Darwin's theory of evolution, the fall of Satan, modern history, this movie has a wealth of clever ideas. The problem is that some ideas are glossed over while others go on way too long. There is no balance and the film races in fits in starts to its ending.This is a film you love because of its ideas more than its execution, which at times is a bit ragged, Personally I like the film as an idea, however as it been put forth on the screen I think its a scatter shot affair with much of the humor falling flat.This is the type of thing you could try if you run across it but its not something you need search out.

mifunesamurai This has a bit of the old Ralph Bakshi style. It vaguely deals with the history of the world and the usual political mumbo-jumbo of an imature creative mind. It all adds up to an interesting concept that is entertaining and a very messy feature length cartoon for the grown ups.

Spooky-666 This movie is about a man named G.D. and his son, They shoot themselves into space in a circular ship to find a new world, because earth was getting so s**tty (Also because G.D.'s Wife kicked him out for f***ing his personal secretary {Yes, you do get to see it}). Anyway G.D.'s son grows up and they travel for a long time and eventually find an identical planet to earth.. G.D. send's Red (G.D.'s son) down with friends... They find it great but G.D. wants to blow the surface up for a totally clean start (And to get rid of the dinosaurs).. And to cut a long story short it becomes Satan (Red) versus God (G.D.).
