Opinion

The film shows us an interesting story about how people lived in the Middle Ages in actions that were quite hard, so we are a key idea of issues of importance that we move to that time, the film shows us pretty tough situations with to live a group of monks which were sometimes extreme, that made the movie somewhat grotesque aggression was seen.

Perhaps the film could have been more interesting if there were many murders and I think that to make a good thriller you just need a good script, but other aspects of the film which I found very interesting the way of rational thinking evidence from one of the characters and the obstacles to thought they were given to other characters and that somehow not tolerate anyone to say differently, which gives us an idea of ​​how people lived in the age media.
