THE RAPTURE IS IS difficult to evaluate. It honestly deals with the struggle to overcome meaninglessness yet the screenwriter's point of view is so cynical and apparently post-modern that there is no possibility of any genuine healing or meaning. Simply, the film The Rapture could be translated as, "Look how hard I am trying and God just doesn't come through! What a bad God! I think I will damn myself just to get back at Him." The simplistic solutions of sexual swinging and spiritual mindlessness have met a simple partner- modern cynicism.
