Constantine

Constantine (2005) was a movie that showed a completely new view towards the Christian religion claiming that angels and demons walk the earth. The main character in the movie was named John Constantine (Keanu Reeves) who was a ruthless hero in the movie, smoking and drinking his life away, even though he had already died once. In the early days of his life, he had the gift of seeing demons and angels among human beings. Because of this gift, which drove him crazy, he tried to kill himself. He failed because his parents, knowing that he had the gift, brought him back. He was dead for one second, and in this one second he lived an entire lifetime inside of Hell learning how to kill and destroy demon entities. This experience made him into the perfect demon destroyer, creating the ultimate exorcist.
The demons and angels are not truly angels and demons, they are half breed. These demons have crazy power: in the movie they have the power to tell someone to do something, thus making them do it. For an example, maybe Adolf Hitler was associated with some kind of demon who told him to do everything he did. Maybe he was just a demon himself.
The movie shows a example of some way that the Revelation could happen. The spear of destiny goes into the hand of a simple person who is possessed instantly when he touches it. The possessed man starts to travel to a certain person. While this is happening, Angela Dodson (Rachel Weisz) is asking Constantine how her twin sister was killed. Constantine finds that she committed suicide, only because a demon told her to do so.
Towards the end of the movie, Angela is used as a transport from Hell to bring out the son of Satan because if the son of Satan is brought into the world then the Revelation begins. The angel Gabriel tries to help bring out the devil’s son but is stopped by Satan himself because it was not time for the Revelation. Constantine saved the world because he asked Satan to save Angela and Satan did so only because he would bring Constantine into Hell. Constantine made a religious pact with God so that he could not be brought into Hell. Constantine tricked Lucifer.
This movie shows a different view of the world today, saying that demons and angels walk the earth and who knows, this may be actually real. Constantine was not Christian, he was in the middle, almost a gray. He was not white (a believer) or black (not saved), he was just in the middle, and if he died his existence wouldn’t be judged by either Satan or God. Constantine shows a different view to the world today and shows one of the many ways that the Revelation could happen in this world.
