This movie comes out strongly and condescendingly atheist. Moreover, it is armed with really effective writing and imagery. The author takes us through a very meaningful portrayal of suffering and the wonder of life, by a man who claims to be syncretistic. I say “claims,” because, in the end, he admits that the meaning and wonder are merely a farce and that his atheistic father was right all along. All faiths are just stories that men “prefer” to the truth, because the truth makes no sense of their suffering.
