Nathan Davis Boondock Saints

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. i draw a strong comparison to that of a super hero who saves the day by doing away with the bad guys. 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 commiting sins or not maybe they should be thrown in jail as opposed to being murdered. this movie was very interesting and showed the journey of two brothers and incorperated religious elements and a huge amount of ritual.
