The Movie "The salvation" is a detailed and riveting account of the foreigner's experience in the new world with its harsh terrain, low population, few brick and mortar buildings and few paved streets. The smell of dung is on people's breaths. It's in the food, the drink, the rum and water. But, the incivility suggested by the wild terrain is unmatched by the barbaric, animalian tendencies of thy neighbor. The movie follows this dichotomy and asks us to reflect upon our understanding of this society historically in its emergence as a new nation in the international community and of our understanding of this nation today. Many families and cultures participated in its growth and presumably much has changed in terms of respect for civility and thy neighbor. In certain centres, there is still need to reflect on the soul of the nation if not the community. There is no need to discuss class or social hierarchy in this generation since you can learn how to play an instrument for free and also learn a foreign language at free schools and this has been so for at least ten generations and a 3500 graduating high school classes. There is a new graduating class every four years. So, nobody owes anyone or any angry community anything. This includes the white public housing alum who owns several hotels now and is a politician some how. It is possible that the dichotomy between basic civility vs Animalian barbarism exists today in society as you travel on the metro, tube or subway. This movie invites us to reflect upon progress, community and the most basic civility with basic civility being the only mortar that makes any country great whether or not the streets are paved with peace, order and good government. The movie will lead you to ask many questions about human life and its value and succeeds in doing this with great scenery, brilliant acting and seamless action. Buy it today.
