1. Was there a specific scene that got to you ? Describe and explain how it moved you.
The ending of the documentary really got to me. As much as I hate spoiling things I feel it necessary in order to dive in to a proper explanation. At the end end of the documentary the person who created the doc, as well as being a previous member of the cult, approached the cult leader (who molested him) and spoke to him. The smugness of this evil, evil man was disgusting. I had never seen such a vile man before in my life. The living embodiment of hypocrisy. It made me want to vomit.
2. What surprised you? Why do you think it caught you off guard?
Well at first the cult started out as a prayer and worship group for found again Christians and it progressively worsened into this complete worshipping and idolization of one man who framed himself as a god amongst men. It was a complete left turn because the group seemed so harmless at first.
3. What questions remain after the viewing? What feelings stayed with you after the film? Did they “pop up” in your life in unexpected ways? When? How? What was that like?
If I'm honest the film really left me with no questions, and no I'm not taking the easy way out of this question I'm being genuine. the film wrapped everything with a perfect bow of an ending. They went through every member, including the cult leader, and said what had happened with them and it really left you with no other questions because you already really knew what happened. I will say that the documentary put a huge distrust in religions inside of my brain for a bit.
4. Why might we avoid including research in our summaries? What could go wrong?
If we research anything on reviews or history of the film it might sway our final impression of the documentary and prevent us from giving a one hundred percent genuine review of the film without outside influence on opinion.
