the tribesmen beleive the coke bottle that fell from a plane was sent by the gods into their world. it causes the only disharmony the group has ever experienced. when they try to bury it it seems as if it is returned to them by those same gods. they are left with the only option being to throw it off the end of the earth. also, the leader of the bushmen meets the white man and the local and thinks that they must be gods. they dont understand him nor do they make any sense to him. his beleif system is that the gods control the world and when things go out of his normal day to day experience it seems as if the gods must be crazy.

While I can't answer the question, I will join you in your bafflement.  If you changed the word 'God' or 'Deity' into any other thing/being for whose existence we have no evidence - we would regard the person as being totally insane.\n\nImagine:  'I have a close personal relationship with the fairies at the bottom of my garden' or '... with the man in the moon.'\n\nWhat also baffles me is that we can - in the 21st Century - treat such statements as indicative of 'normal' people if it's about God but not if it's about fairies.  Surely, both are just as loopy?

Mentally ill people will claim ANYTHING told them to commit an evil act.  If it hadn't been God, it would have been his dog or Bing Crosby's ghost.  Crazy is as crazy does, and organized religion had little to do with it.\n\nThe story of Abraham and Isaac concerns faith and trust.  God asked Abraham to sacrifice his son in the same manner as others made blood sacrifices with animals.  When God realized that Abraham did indeed have strong faith, He intervened and stopped the sacrifice.  Abraham's destiny was to be a great ruler of the Hebrews, God's chosen people.  God needed to see if Abraham had the intestinal fortitude to handle the task.

i have read the book, and i thought that it was brilliant, as for the film it looks a bit dated now so i have not seen it, i think the reason why its so popular is that it was banned for so long and it caused a lot of hype.\n\nread the book, twice, it great

Wouldn't that be a great movie! Everybody waiting for the rapture - gets a raptor instead. Something lost in translation for sure.

The underlying theme is divine intervention according to the director, 'god' is explaining to donnie why he must die and what might happen if he lived. Donnie becomes a modern day Jesus in a way.\nPersonally I think that's just too heavy and cold, I always like to think he went back to save Grechen...but even then it's because of 'god's will'

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0282289/\n\nThis link should summarise in English, but I haven't actually checked.  Thought I'd leave that to you.

Well its partly based on Roger Waters' childhood and relationship with his father, but I dont know that there is any "hidden" message there - he was clearly fixated by the War, and his father's death in it, especially as his father was a pacifist, and the film contains a lot of pseudo nazi imagery.

ohhhhhhh yes.  City of God was excellent!  Other foreign favorites of mine are Triplets of Belleville, Audition, Versus, Battle Royale and The Chorus.  Foreign movies are so awesome.

What a movie in your language that is sub-titled in English.

I thought at first it might have been Crazy People with Dudley Moore (if you liked Dream Team, you'll probably like this one, too!) but the movie to which you refer is definitely Dream Team.

The correct term is "deus ex machina," and literally, it means "God from the machine."\n\nIt's when something quite improbable happens at the end of a story... realizing it was just a dream, or when a hero shows up at the last moment unexpectedly with the solution to the problem.  It could even be used to refer to a "twist" or unexpected ending.\n\nIt originates form Greek theatre, when a machine (like a crane) would lower actors playing God onto the stage, where they would resolve the problematic storyline.

I have a feeling it's a pervasive story.\n\nI just saw "Onibaba"-- a Japanese film that retells an old Buddhist story along the same lines.

He lives comfortably in his own reality; that's the pinnacle of sanity, I think. It's when his reality starts messing with him that he becomes insane. However, David Firth's Milkman is insane. If you liked Salad Fingers, you may like Milkman as well, although it is more on the disturbing side.
