Movie Reviews of Adam's Apples
Movie Review: Turn the other cheek... never stop hoping
Summary: 5 Stars
I watched this movie with my 12 year-old son and it prompted good conversation, even getting us to dust off a bible and look at the Book of Job. I am agnostic, he is atheistic, but I found the movie wonderful, horrible, painful, and ultimately, satisfying. In my opinion, it reminds us that there needs to be people willing to turn the other cheek, to see the best in others -- of course this film explores the absurd extremes of those ideas, making you cringe as Ivan takes a beating... over and over again. Blunt, beautiful, shocking and thought provoking... mixed with dark humor and oiled liberally with music from the Bee Gee's asking the ultimate question, "How Deep is Your Love?"
I highly recommend this movie, though not with little children.
Summary of Adam's Apples
Ivan is an insanely optimistic preacher who takes in convicts to help around the remote, rural church he ministers to. His current charges are a psychotic Saudi immigrant addicted to robbing gas stations and an alcoholic tennis pro convicted of sexual assault. His newest "helper" is Adam, a vicious neo-Nazi anxiously biding his time before he can return to hell-raising. Asked to set a goal for his stay, Adam sarcastically answers that he'd like to bake a cake. Ivan cheerfully takes that statement at face value and puts him in charge of the parish's pride and joy: the only apple tree in the vicinity. Grasping the extent of Ivan's crazed, preternatural determination to look on the bright side of everything - Adam immediately decides to shake him out of his rose-colored stupor.Art House & International DVD Video
