The 33 – Reflections on Atheism

Spoiler warning. Though I tried not to include any major spoilers.

In this modern age where atheism has become the new trend, I was lately contemplating over its possible impact on society. I recalled an interesting movie that I have watched not so long ago while embarking on this thought journey. The 33 revolved around the story of 33 mine workers who were trapped inside the collapsed San José Mine’s refuge, 700 meters underground, for 70 days. In my opinion, the movie allows the watcher to reflect upon the internal struggle of the characters, the consequences of belief and disbelief, and the failure of the latter in providing a background for a meaningful struggle.
