The Rapture - 6

Michael Tolkin's first film (he wrote The Player - 6, Deep Impact - 5, and Changing Lanes). It is also an early, pre-X files, role for David Duchovny. The film deals with the idea of a world ending rapture well. It asks the challenging questions: Can actions really be forgiven? Is heaven (in the other worldly sense) an escapist belief? What does death mean? does it have meaning? Through out the film the main character, Sharon, is constantly trying to make sense our of her beliefs. In the end it she is asked the ultimate question, if the consequence is forever how would you choose, or is there really a choice? Of the small number of religious films I have seen this seems to deal with it the most honestly.
