Boondock Speculation
Apr. 23rd, 2006 01:26 amWas doing a bit of research on "Boondock Saints" to write one of the drabbles, and came across some interesting information.
( Quotes and Sources... )
Stuff to make you go Hmm. "Boondock Saints", I think, is a lot like "V for Vendetta" in a few respects; it's aimed to make you think about the justification, or lack thereof, for the use of force in certain circumstances, though this movie packs a religious angle and the other is aimed more at political revolution.
I'm a big fan of that (the making-you-think thing); what good is it to believe blindly in something? If you never question, if you are never forced to look at the "why's" of your stance on something and either make it more firm on that basis or change it to another, then when something comes along that seriously challenges that belief, what will you be left with?
