"Gabriel being a sort of deific emissary working in the consulate in some far-off country where he is getting impatient with the natives, and he decides to take things into his own hands rather than serve God's plan. He's like some junior executive who comes up with a brilliant plan to take over the company."
This is a brief quote from an actress Tilda Swinton about her character "Gabriel" in the upcoming movie "Constantine" with Keanu Reeves. The New York Times interview is part of the media push on this movie.
Thanks to the National Review Online-bloggers they picked up this quote (page 2 of interview) :
"True, there is all sorts of religious extremism all over the place, but the reason for this partly has to do with the fascist attitudes and language of absolutism coming from Washington. It's challenging for people outside of America that Bush was re-elected. It means we're all going to have to work a lot harder to understand what so many more Americans than we thought really want. It's an identity shift in our minds about America and maybe for many Americans as well."
And I picked up on this one (thank you St. Michael, the Holy Spirit, and my guardian angel!):
"he decides to take things into his own hands rather than serve God's plan."
The enemy already did this! But now he is taking GOD'S PRECIOUS ARCHANGELS and masquerading them!!
This grieves me so...for he announced LIFE! We will NOT be deterred by this action!
Please alert your family, friends, & pastors to the spiritual battle that is taking place ON ALL LEVELS!
The enemy wants to take ALL with him by using all TECHNIQUES available to him.
Be alert to what's taking place. We need to make sure we ALL make an uproar about this movie -folks!
GO ST. MICHAEL THE ARCHANGEL!
"Pray, Hope, and DON'T WORRY." --Padre Pio
very true,...even in a movie about st. Michael called "Legion" st.Gabriel appeared to be the "bad guy" again,...aren't archangels supposed to be purely GOOD spirits? good gracious, Hollywood :(
