Actually this is a good TV-budget Western, which actually illustrates the principle of evil people reaping the destruction they sow. It's a biblical principle.
i don't condone any kind of violence so this overstepped the limit for me. If you get some kind of perverse feeling from watching rape and child abuse then you're the reason our society is screwed up
Movies that try to depict reality -- e.g. any serious Western -- include things that happen in real life, like violence, rape and child abuse. If you want fantasy that's a different genre.
Are there any stories in the Bible that are heavily R-rated? Absolutely! David’s lust for the bathing Bathsheba and his subsequent adultery & murder of Uriah is a prime example. Here are some more: David chopping off Goliath’s head and parading it around as a trophy; Lot’s daughters’ incestuous actions; the mass slaughter of infants; whole cities being put to the sword, including women and children; the shocking global bloodshed in Revelation; the naked demoniac; the witch of Endor; Judah having sex with his daughter-in-law who was posing as a prostitute; etcetera, etcetera. What about the Song of Songs?
The Scriptures obviously don’t whitewash human nature but rather honestly bares it with all its potential glory or shame. The Bible isn’t the “Good Book” because it Disney-fies the human experience, but because it’s brutally honest about it and provides the wise answers for our most important dilemmas.
Good movies do the same.
