This movie should be banned!
I am actualy welsh and have just watched this movie. I cannot believe what I have just seen. The pea brained writer/director Langdon wants viewers to believe that an early 19th century welsh immigrant comunity to america is completely oblivious and ignorant of Jesus Christ, his teachings, and the bible! For gods sake do your research! Is Langdon racist against the welsh or what? Most probably he is just plain stupid. Wales was christianised long before England, Scotland ot Ireland, whilst it was still a region in the roman province of Britannia, and the roman emperor Constantine made christianity compulsory.Ireland and Scotland (mostly) were not part of the roman empire, and England had to be re-christianized by St Augustine after the Anglo-Saxons invaded ancient britain and forced us welsh west to where we now live in Wales. St Patrick the patron saint of Ireland who christianised the place was welsh.
To think that even 9th century welsh people would not be christian would be unthinkable!
The accents and names are also unwelsh and shows lack of research/bad acting.The music being played is also definately not welsh (I speak welsh) it is gaelic.
As for sin eating, it did happen occasionaly in my part of wales up until the early part of the 19th century, but the people practising ir were DEFINATELY christian. I know this because I am decended from them. They were very religious people, but uneducated and a bit misguided.
The movie should have shown that the welsh people were christian, but still practising some pagan rites.
