the prophecy

no.89 The Prophecy

There have been many a version of this story painted, written, filmed. All in all, we know that angels are jealous because man has been given a soul, we have been the chosen of his "creatures" even if we are careless with life and all that surrounds it. Personally, I enjoy a version of this story when it's a little more ironic, a tab bit sarcastic and not so dark and brooding. See Dogma, Good Omens, etc.

I did like the attempt to weave in an earthbound religion - the native american aspect made this a little more interesting. Christopher Walken was a great moody Gabriel with a literal interpretation of being the angel of death and vengeance. However, it's Christopher Walken.

Talking monkies, eh?
