Last night, I saw The Village. While I suppose some people didn't like the film, I quite enjoyed it.
If you're looking for a slasher/thriller, don't come to The Village. You won't find what you seek. Instead, you'll be sucked into a passionate love story that defies the senses.
The Village is about the lengths people will go to protect their loved ones from harm. It reveals the depths of human depravity and the danger of misplaced love.
At one point, a character says something to the effect of "money is the root of all evil." In actuality, it is the love of money (or other vices) that leads to ruin. When one character does something out of "love" for a woman, he commits the ultimate crime.
The Village in no way endorses overprotection. If anything, it reveals the dangers of such a life. Running away from the modern world did not shield them from pain. In many ways, it made the ache worse. 7/10
