a5c7b9f00b The angel Gabriel comes to Earth to collect a soul which will end the stalemated war in Heaven, and only a former priest and a little girl can stop him.
"Some people lose their faith because Heaven shows them too little," says Thomas Daggett. "But how many people lose their faith because Heaven showed them too much?" Daggett nearly became a priest; now he's a cop. He may want to put religion behind him, but one morning a weird, eyeless, hermaphroditic corpse turns up. Suddenly he is on a path that will put him right in the middle of a war in Heaven. And once again, Heaven will show him too much: gore, blood, charred flesh, living corpses and much worse. Even more central to the heavenly war effort is a young girl. This American Indian child has something Gabriel wants. And Gabriel is willing to kill her and anyone in his path - or even reanimate a corpse or two - to get it.
A disenchanted priest turned homicide detective stumbles across civil war in Heavena faction of rebellious angels try to break away from God and set up for themselves. Christopher Walken starsthe Angel Gabriel - perhaps the greatest casting coup of the year. Elias Koteas is the priest turned policeman, Viggo Mortenson plays Satan. The film is written and directed by Gregory Widen, who scripted Highlander, so if you liked that, then you'll like this. Scary, surprising and frequently funny - Gabriel has to recruit a chauffeur from among recent suicides because he's never learnt to drive, this is a film with lines and images which will remain with you. Angels perch like birds on chairbacks, a novice priest has visions of war in heaven and Christopher Walken strolls through it all confirming that he is the most watchable actor around.
Writer/director Gregory Widen came up with a fascinating and intriguing story about angels for this film, but he screwed it up by adding in too many human beings.<br/><br/>Thomas Dagget (Elias Koteas) once studied for the priesthood, but fled that life when he saw terrible visions on the day of his ordination. Now he's a detective who gets called in on a murder case when a copy of his priestly thesis on angels is found at the scene. Thomas finds a body that has no eyes, both sets of sex organs, blood like a fetus and bones unlike any living thing on Earth. He also finds a handwritten bible from the 2nd century that has an extra chapter of Revelations, one that tells of a terrible war in Heaven where angels rebelled over God's love of Man.<br/><br/>His investigation leads Thomas to a dying town in Arizona, where a choir teacher named Katherine Hammond (Virginia Madsen) is worried about a little girl named Mary (Moriah Shining Dove Snyder), who's been sick ever since she met a strange man named Simon (Eric Stoltz). Except, Simon isn't a man. He's an angel and he's trying to keep the Archangel Gabriel (Christopher Walken) from finding something he needs to win the war in Heaven and displace ManGod's favorite creation. With help from an unlikely source, Thomas and Katherine have to protect Mary and end the angelic war.<br/><br/>The best way to describe The Prophecy is to say that the stuff in this movie that works, really works, but there's a lot of stuff in the film that doesn't work at all. Widen creates an amazingly textured angel mythology that doesn't just deal with what they are but how they act, think and feel. What George Romero did with zombies, that's what Widen does with angels. There's a bit in the story about how Gabriel finds dying people and keeps them alive to serve him doing dumb monkey work like driving a car which Gabriel feels is beneath him. It's a little detail in this story, but you could make an entire movie out of that idea. That's the level of care and attention that Widen brings to that element of the movie.<br/><br/>Christopher Walken, Eric Stoltz and Viggo Mortensen also do excellent jobs playing characters that are both more and less than human. Walken is particularly outstanding with a role that's always balanced on the edge of self-parody. He embraces the excessive aspects of Gabriel and channels them in a way that keeps the audience on its toes.<br/><br/>This is also a good looking film. It's very stylish without looking stylized. From the angels on Earth in their long coats to Heaven's fields of the dead to the simple image of an old man standing behind a young girl, Widen has a distinct vision that is appealing without becoming labored or overwhelming.<br/><br/>Unfortunately, things go wrong when Widen crams into the story two human characters that neither he nor the viewer really care about. There's nothing wrong with Elias Koteas or Virginia Madsen, but the characters of Thomas and Katherine are non-entities. They never do anything and aren't needed. This movie could have focused entirely on the angels and it would have been fine, but either Widen or his producers obviously thought there had to be some "normal" characters for the audience to identify with. It's hard to identify with characters that stand around while stuff happens around them.<br/><br/>The Prophecy has one of the dumber endings you'll see,well. The story poses a lot of compelling moral, ethical and theological questions, then resolves them by hitting a guy in the head with a crowbar over and over. It's like they ran out of time to come up with something, so they borrowed the ending they saw on an episode of the A-Team the night before filming the final scene.<br/><br/>The Prophecy is a lot like Highlander. There are things in this movie you will absolutely love and there are things that wither and die on screen like a plague victim. This is one of those films that was made for DVD, so you can get watch the good bits and forget about the rest.

The angel Simon (<a href="/name/nm0000655/">Eric Stoltz</a>) sucks out the soul of recently-deceased Colonel Arnold Hawthorne, considered to be the darkest soul on Earth, and hides it in the body of a young Native American schoolgirl named Mary (<a href="/name/nm0811528/">Moriah 'Shining Dove' Snyder</a>). When the archangel Gabriel (<a href="/name/nm0000686/">Christopher Walken</a>) comes looking for Hawthorne's soul in order to fulfill a prophecy that will end an angelic civil war in heaven, the only one to stop him is seminarian-turned-police-officer Thomas Daggett (<a href="/name/nm0000480/">Elias Koteas</a>). However, Gabriel will stop at nothing, even ripping Mary to shreds, to get that soul. The Prophecy is based on a screenplay written by American film-maker Gregory Widen, who also directed the movie. It was followed by four sequels: <a href="/title/tt0118643/">The Prophecy II (1998)</a> (1998) and <a href="/title/tt0183678/">The Prophecy 3: The Ascent (2000)</a> (2000), both also written by Widen, plus <a href="/title/tt0365658/">The Prophecy: Uprising (2005)</a> (2005), and <a href="/title/tt0439771/">The Prophecy: Forsaken (2005)</a> (2005). God has put humans in His grace by giving them souls and pushed aside the Angels, who have no souls. Consequently, some of the Angels became jealous, and they started a second war in order to regain their favored position at the right hand of God. There shall be a dark soul, and this soul will eat other dark souls and so become their inheritor. This soul will not rest in an angel, but a man, and he shall be a warrior. Hawthorne is said to have the "blackest" soul on earth at the time. He was convicted of conducting human sacrifices and alleged cannibalism by he and his troops at the Battle of Chosin Reservoir in North Korea in 1950. Simon wants to hide Hawthorne's soul so that it can't be usedthe "dark soul" in the angelic war. Gabriel wants to use it to his side's advantage. In some Christian theology, a soul in the state of grace is considered "white", whereas a serious sin (sometimes referred toa "mortal" sin) blackens the soul. Consequently, the angels only have to look at a person's soul to see how black it is. Hawthorne's soul was the blackest soul on earth. When Mary gets sick thanks to Hawthorne's soul inside her, Grandmother Emma () calls in a hand trembler (aka ndilniihii). In Navajo medicine, the hand trembler attempts to diagnose the cause of the illness by analyzing the movements of her hand. Depending upon the diagnosis, the patient may require a certain "sing" (also called a "way"), a specific chant that can only be performed by the "singer" (Medicine Man). In Mary's case, the hand trembler determines that something is inside her and that Mary will need to have the Enemy Ghost Way. Emma, Katherine, and Thomas take Mary up to Old Woman Butte where the Medicine Man (<a href="/name/nm0625133/">Albert Nelson</a>) and the elders of her clan are preparing for the Enemy Ghost Way ceremony. Meanwhile, Gabriel has resurrected Rachel (<a href="/name/nm0001625/">Amanda Plummer</a>), a dying woman who he wants to drive him to Old Woman Butte. Lucifer (<a href="/name/nm0001557/">Viggo Mortensen</a>) appears to Katherine and Thomas and tells Thomas that the key to defeating Gabriel is by using Gabriel's lack of faith. "What if an angel, just like you, didn't understand?" he hints. Thomas lays a chain across the road and, when Gabriel finally arrives, he pulls the chain tight, ripping apart Gabriel's car, so Gabriel walks the rest of the way on foot. He breaks open the door to the hogan and attempts to interrupt the ceremony, but Thomas drives his truck through the door, knocking Gabriel aside and beating him with a tire iron. Lucifer then appears. Gabriel tells Lucifer that this is his (Gabriel's) war, but Lucifer replies that the war is based on arrogance, which is evil, making it Lucifer's war. Lucifer then rips out Gabriel's heart. Thomas tells the elders to complete the ceremony, and Hawthorne's soul is eventually expelled from Mary's body and destroyed. Taking a bite out of Gabriel's heart, Lucifer asks Thomas and Katherine to come home with him, but they refuse. In the final scene, the Medicine Man scatters the remains of the sand paintings to the Earth. In a voiceover, Thomas muses, And in the end, I think it must be about faith. And if faith is a choice, then it can be lost…for a man, an angel…the devil himself. And if faith means never completely understanding God's plan, then maybe understanding just a part of it, our part, is what it means to have a soul.And maybe, in the end, that's what being human is after all. No,evidenced when Thomas decisively tells Lucifer, "I'm not an angel. I'm just a man, which means I got something you don't. It's a soul." Some viewers have suggested that another comment from Lucifer, in which he tells Thomas, "What if an angel, like you, didn't understand?", could be taken to mean that Lucifer is saying that Thomas is an angel, Awkwardthe sentence is, it should be interpreted"Imagine an angel didn't understand, just like you don't understand." Thomas was simply a man who, while studying to become a priest, began to have prophetic visions of the war between the angels in heaven. Yes. The shooting draft for the movie can be found at Weekly Script. The alternative version is the European video release version under the title "God's Army". As it never got a theatrical release, it was released directly on video and subsequently shown on TV in a full frame transfer. The loss of almost 40% of it's original widescreen image resulted in certain scenes being unusable,even in a pan-and-scan transfer it was impossible to convey the visual elements convincingly.
