I
thought the movie, the Boondock Saints would be a good personal blog because it
brings a question that I always wondered. Boondock Saints is a movie about two
brothers who find themselves as missionaries of God sent to kill evil or bad
people. They begin a journey to rid the world of evil. There is a number of
symbols and rituals involved in this movie such as the crosses they wear and
their ritual prayer they recite before killing their victims. they are viewed
as saints because they are killing only bad people who are terrorizing the
community. Although they are supposed to be people of God the moral question
comes into play in this movie of how can they be saints when they are killing the
creations of God whether the bad guys are committing sins or not. Maybe they
should be thrown in jail as opposed to being murdered. So I wanted to ask
the question do you think if someone killed another person for protection of
themselves or their families (self defense), would that still be considered as
a sin? In conclusion, this movie was very interesting and showed the journey of
two brothers and Included religious elements and rituals.
