Blast and Whisper (2010)
Thought-provoking title captures film
I found Blast and Whisper interesting and compelling. The movie shows some serious creative talent. The actors, music tracks, and photography are quite good. In a few places the low-budget props and special effects were showing, but there are quite a few impressive close-up shots. High quality, especially considering the budget was probably under one million dollars. Compelling, thought-provoking dialogue.
I found it an interesting take on some of the themes of Elijah's life, and the society of his day.
The plot conflict between Elijah and the "witch queen" "Jazz" takes off upon the discovery of a strange sacrifice. Elijah's refusal to take up arms makes him seem ineffective, although he begins a quiet but determined destruction of the pagan shrines.
It create a compelling story. Memorable and unique. The posture of people trying to sleep on the ground in the daylight, the investigation of the pagan altars, all were memorable.
Excellent film. Resonant and thought-provoking.
