Featured review
This film is extremely well-produced, and explains very coherently through deftly rendered visuals the LDS creation myth and basic ethos and worldview. It bleeds a particular variety of values. Many will be horrified by how limiting the vision of 'ideal' life appears. The audience for whom it was made, older generations of the mormon church, will probably view it nostalgically, an artifact from a 'less-complicated' era. Anyway, it's interesting to watch, but for most of us will be educational only in how narrow a view some people take of life and what it means.
Also, I own this film, and I found that projecting it backwards while playing 'Dark Side of the Moon' produces an astounding result. If you don't believe me, check it out on youtube. I uploaded it.
