Learning About The Film "Legion"

By Daryl Mitchell

There are a few films that come out every single year that are just too good not to see. While 2010 might have been littered with these films, one of the films that many people were talking about was the action picture "Legion".

There are actually several different things that you might care to know about this film. Through the course of this article, you can get few different pieces of relevant information about this critically acclaimed film. More than this, you are going to get a breakdown of the plot and a few of the actors and actresses that made this film extraordinary.

One thing that you might care to keep in mind about this article will be that there will not be nothing spoiled by you reading into the plot of this film. This would be ideal synopsis for someone who wanted to learn a little more about the film without getting the entire thing spoiled for you.

This film actually starts out with two friends standing out by a swingset and discussing the future. Jeep is a man who is completely infatuated with Charlie, the pregnant woman that is swinging on the swing before him. He tells her that he will be able to provide for her, and he wants to raise the baby with her. She does not seem overly thrilled about this possibility and kind of shrugs him off.

You are also quickly introduced to an overly aggressive archangel turned human named Michael (Paul Bettany). He has been sent to orchestrate the demise of the human race, but instead has decided to give the world another chance at survival. You see, unseen to the inhabitants of Earth, God has become displeased with mankind's disobedience. He has decided to eradicate his creation, and instead of a flood he is sending an army of death dealing angels to do the job.

The audience also learns that the entire fate of mankind rests within the child that was meant to die but lived. That child is the one that is growing inside of Charlie. It doesn't take long for the end of the world to come knocking on the door of Jeep's father's (Dennis Quaid) business. The angels have come to kill them all to get to Charlie's baby. If that baby dies, so does the world.

The hope of her protection rests in Michael, the angel that has become human to save mankind. He tells in the movie about how he was able to watch the world formed and mankind created, and he too loved them as much as God did. He will risk everything to see it survive. There will be nothing that will stop him, except perhaps an epic showdown with a former friend and angel military leader. This battle will likely determine the fate of the entire world.

"Legion" is quite an exceptional film. It ties in concepts that have rarely been touched upon and a visual masterpiece on the screen. While there are certainly other things to know and appreciate about this film, this should be a great place to get you started if you had just wanted to get a little more information.
