FREE ON CINEGEEK.DE Kevin Smith - Dogma 



Where does the fate of mankind decide? Kevin Smith from New Jersey doesn't have to think long in his fourth film: In New Jersey, where his other films also play. In Dogma there are angels in the flesh with wings, a demon with devil horns and a metatron (Alan Rickman) - the voice of God. Of course, God himself may also appear, as well as a mortal, destined to save humanity (she is the Great Grand-Niece of Jesus). Although Smith likes to push the boundaries of foolishness, he takes his quest for meaning seriously. Cardinal Glick (George Carlin) even tries to reform the Catholic Church because Jesus Crucified is too depressing. A good buddy would be better! In this cathedral all sins shall be forgiven from now on. The cast out angels Loki (Matt Damon) and Bartleby (Ben Affleck) take advantage of this. But if the church now breaks God's commandment and rehabilitates the two outcasts, God's law is no longer worth anything. The end of the world. Since God has disappeared, the Metatron is trying to save people. Helpful here are such bizarre guys as our old acquaintances Silent Bob and Jay as well as Serendipity (Salma Hayek), a heavenly muse with writer's block. But who is God? A woman who looks like Alanis Morisette? God, a Canadian? Incredibly Smith takes his subject seriously, deals with eternal questions, but occupies his comedy with broken types of today. Almost a little stroke of genius!
