theological and philosophical nonsence

Never in my live I've seen a movie that is stuffed with so much nonsence in theological and philosopical way. Sometimes I think that you have to put something of everything in a movie to make it a movie that is not fit for television or the bigger screens but more for the arthouses. This movie shows that you can not make a twohours-movie from a very big book with hundred of pages. But don't get me wrong. The movie is bad. The book is like the movie, just a strange construction of different thoughts all mixed together.And some parts of the book are beautiful and just those beautiful parts I don't see back in the movie. And that is something that really hurts.

just like Gabriel to the angel said: "no one will believe you"

And how do you decide something is theological or philosphical nonsense? It's a story which says things never happen without a reason, and it's an explanation as good as another.

And the rest of your comment i did not really understand.

Why nonsense? It is a story, not a set of universal truths. I quite enjoyed it for what it was. It was coherent and consistent and there was enough in the film to think about for some time.

But to each his or her own.
