2 men: one convinced of the existence of God and the brotherhood of man, the other convinced otherwise. The man of faith (Sam Jackson) just saved the non-believer's life (Tommy Lee Jones) and now is trying his damndest to save his soul. The entire movie is a conversation between these two men. Will Sam Jackson's character convince his house guest of the meaning of life, and save him from making another suicide attempt?
This play was written by Cormac McCarthy, and having read "No Country for Old Men" I kind of guessed where this was going. But boy was it fun to watch these two talk about life, and death, and what it all means. And being a skeptic myself, I guess I found myself relating more to the arguments of the non-believer. But by the end, I was hoping for the argument for God to win. The argument that we all have a purpose, that life has meaning beyond our daily affairs. I think we all hope for that at some level. But can an argument proving God's existence really be made?
If you got HBO, DVR it or watch it now! Otherwise, queue it up for later.
