Yeah, it's the end that ruined the whole thing.

I liked it until the end. I gave it a 6.
If you can’t say something nice, say something clever but devastating.

Let me check it out again. I can't remember much but the chess game and the Grim Reaper.

I also just want to say that I think it’s a movie with a bunch of symbolism and messages.
Again, I don’t mean to seem like a snob just that a chess game with death is a creative idea for a movie, I think.

If or when you do watch and see if you think he was mocking religion with things like burning at the stake someone being blamed for evil, self flagellation, confession, and killing in the name of God for the crusades while God is doing nothing to save those from the plague.
Or is it just an observation of the times?
If the ending with the young couple is about having faith for hope it’s done without religion.

I will try watching it again and see if it's any better this time. That was in 2009. Maybe my opinion will change.

Thanx.
It’s not for everyone and I don’t mean to sound like a film snob.
I can get into it even though it’s a bleak and sad movie for the most part.
I don’t get it how everyone dies like that at the same time at the end.
The ending with the young couple surviving the storm with their baby is all about hope and a better world from those dark and depressing times.
That’s one reason I like it.

On the subject of Seventh…
Did you review The Seventh Seal?
I thought I saw you make a comment about that unless it was someone else.
