“As I Lay Dying” movie review (Hit – 3.5/5)

“My father used to say that the reason for living was to get ready to stay dead a long time.”

Transformation/liberation/enlightenment – seeing life in the light of death and seeing death in the light of life – neither is permanent – only change is!

Family, sex & loss – compare with the TV series “Six Feet Under” (especially Pilot)

Religion, reason & morality wither away before the searing heat of passion/death!
Only desire, instinct & insanity remain……

This guy CAN direct too! I loved the poetry and the split scenes (reminded me of “Hulk”!)

Does the Christian metal band (one of my favorites) have anything to do with the novel?
