![]() She eventually gets involved with this religious group and as time passes, gets married, has a daughter, and continues her religious life. She eventually overhears co-workers talking about "The Boy" and she is intrigued by the secrecy surrounding him. Even her sexual experiences with her friend seem to be boring her. Mimi Rogers is a telephone operator with a very unremarkable life. The Rapture is one of those rare films that refuses to compromise and doesn't apologize if it offends one's religious beliefs. Should have kept the original artwork (again, see the soundtrack CD cover for that). The Current DVD cover unfortunately makes it look like a religious family film.a big mistake. I'd love to yell at the person who got the job of marketing that cover and say how it really is an insult to people's intelligence in general. Sure, there is some sex in the first part of the film, but the story as a whole is 95% about the spiritual part. The cover says "exploring a woman's sexual and spiritual awakening." Excuse me, but Mimi Rogers' character seems to already be well educated in sex by revealing that she likes to swing with friend Patrick Bauchau. ![]() The back cover shows a shirtless David Duchovny (but with a look on his face like a deer caught in the headlights). The original artwork for the film captured its essence very well (the soundtrack on CD has the original artwork), but the VHS video box cover on the front shows Mimi Rogers looking like she had the biggest.well, you xual thrill of her life. SHAME, SHAME, SHAME on you for marketing the home video of this very important film as if it were a soft-core sex romp. Reviewed by hippiedj 10 / 10 A very important film, tense and extremely originalīefore my praises for The Rapture, first a scolding at New Line Cinema. Don't think too much about its storytelling or acting, just focus on its themes instead and you'll see that this is a quite good and intriguing movie.Ĭhristian or atheist the movie doesn't really pick 'sides' with anyone and everyone will get something different out of this movie. It's just a one of a kind movie that you should also take that way. Because of that it is hard to compare this to anything we know and are familiar with. Not everything feels- and flows naturally, which doesn't always make this the most believable movie.īut perhaps it feels a bit off and odd just because the movie is taking such an original approach and features an unique concept in it. It gets a quite messy one at times and due to its storytelling, we have to take a lot of things for granted. This is a bit of a problem with the movie. This is a great power that this movie has and the foremost reason why I actually ultimately ended up liking it, even though I didn't always understood what was going on exactly. So really no matter how you feel about this movie, you'll still get intrigued by it. ![]() Seems to me that everybody will interpret this movie in their own way and both Christians and atheists can both get plenty out of this movie. Perhaps this was also exactly what the film-makers were aiming for confuse its viewers so that they can openly question and think about things and get into discussions with each other. That movie does both things really, which also does make the movie more or less unpredictable, which is however also a positive thing though of course. Thing I'm still confused about is if it was supposed to be Christian propaganda or one that criticizes and openly questions it. ![]() This also means that the movie is quite an unique one really, which is something that still makes this movie interesting and a good watch. ![]() It's hard to form an opinion about this movie really, since it's hard to say what the movie is actually trying to achieve and say.
