When we question, we become enlightened, and when we become enlightened, we begin to question everything. Very successful…

There are moments when we question everything at a certain point in events and our lives, and we experience certain enlightenments. Both in our circle of friends, in our family and maybe in our faith. Under the Banner of Heaven was a rare production in which I experienced an enlightenment and questioned religious authority once again while watching it.

The cast was meticulously prepared, and Andrew Garfield managed to go beyond what we are used to. Although he did not adapt to the role in the beginning, after a few episodes he evolves into a very successful acting. You begin to experience his own inner conflict that he is experiencing. Daisy Edgar-Jones, which I had the opportunity to watch for the first time in this production, is among the actors that I enjoy watching, and now I started watching other productions in which she took a role. A role that we are not used to seeing again from popular actors like Sam Worthington and Wyatt Russell. Manhunt: Unabomber is similar to productions like Fractured and The Hunter's Prayer, but here we see a tougher Sam Worthington. Wyatt Russell shares similarities with Overlord and The Woman in the Window performances. I expected it to be in a more rigid structure away from exaggeration.

Although the script and the editing are a bit complicated, with a very nice cinematography, you get used to it after a while. There are times when we get into the plot and drown in productions with such fictions, I find it risky for him. The fact that we do not question any authority of religious corruption or exploiting people in the name of religion very well expresses the results in time. A very enlightening production to watch in terms of Mormonism's place in history.

I'm not a movie critic, but I like to comment on movies. Thanks to the whole production team.
