The bishop is a hipster, the angel is a eunuch, Jesus is a black man, and God is a woman. These are all deviant plots in "Angry Crimes". As the production company stated at the beginning of the film, the film is to interpret a story with a religious background in a humorous way. After the audience enjoys the film with laughter, they can also look back and taste some of the true meanings.

The angel of death Rocky (Matt Damon) and the guardian angel Bartleby (Ben Affleck) were cast down as fallen angels because they failed God's will. By chance, they discovered that they could use the loopholes in the teachings to return to the kingdom of heaven, but their actions would destroy the human world.

Basani (Linda Fiorentino), an abortion doctor who was abandoned by her husband because of her infertility, resents God, but is chosen by the Archangel Metatron to stop Lo, because she is a descendant of Jesus. Chi and Bartleby are the men who destroyed the world.

With the help of two funny prophets, the thirteenth black disciple of Jesus and the Muse, the goddess of literature and art, Basani finally succeeded in saving the world and got pregnant by God's gift.

At the time of the film, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck were not as famous as they are now. Matt Damon's camaraderie and Ben Affleck's wit can be seen in many of their roles.

Director Kevin Smith is really good at making comedy films. Like this film, his "Erotic Selfie" and "Crazy Clerk" series are all comedy films worth watching, and each one brings us There is always something intriguing about a pleasant one and a half hour viewing experience.

Belief has nothing to do with race, gender, or identity. The world of God is full of disputes and disputes just like the world of humans. Angels need to get drunk, and God loves to have fun. These are the true meanings that this movie tells us.

    Not so disgusting shit comedy + serious religious issues. The issues (theosophy, etc.) caught are serious enough, and the stories are not serious enough. The lines are quoted from scriptures. Satire Disney. Black disciples, sexual prophets, and archangels are subversive and fun. Big Ben and Matt are somehow in their own way. These two people really can't act (true colors?). Far-fetched (how to find God?) is inevitable.

    Religious matters should not be mixed..
