an excellent, but unorthodox, American movie

Great story, great evocation of Peru in the 16th century, and probably the best Inquistion movie ever made. This movie is unusual in that the lives of these five souls are given meaning and context by the bridge accident and no vice versa. The acting and directing is very good, but the moral question Thornton Wilder posed dominates everything. One measure of the films excellence is that people who see it are still talking about it a week or a month after they see it. Compared to the regular fare of movies whose names are hard to remember as you walk out of the theater, that is high praise. Folks who didn't like the acting or the plot per se should, a year after the saw the film, ask themselves if they had forgotten what the this film is about. I don't usually go to the movies to get a sermon about the meaning of life, but this enriched my appreciation of the our struggle and inability to understand God's will. I thank folks who made this movie, but I was deeply offended that some hack screenwriter who did not contribute one idea to the film claimed credit equal to Wilder's authorship. The movies in the movie business make wonderful movies, but acts like this claim embarrass us all.
