Constantine (2005)

Watching Theology July 15th, 2007

Keanu Reeves is no stranger to roles with significant theological and philosophical impact: Neo, Buddha, Ted "Theo-dore" Logan. In this edition, we look at him as he fights the forces of good and evil, once again coming face-to-face (remember The Devil's Advocate?) with Satan. On this episode, we follow Reeves as the incarnation of the Hellblazer comics anti-hero in Francis Lawrence's Constantine. Join us as we explore the power of quasi-Catholic dogma, the fight for redemption and the attempt to gain God's favor. Along the way, we'll encounter the angel Gabriel and ask whether God really does have a plan.
Watching The Directors next edition: July 24 – Stanley Kubrick
Next WT edition: July 31 – Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)
