Dante metaphysically takes you through the underworld, utterly incredible
Even after six centuries, Dante's Inferno is one of the most important works that needs to be read. Exploring the nine circles of hell, Dante (using his own name) speaks of being led by Virgil to the different depths of depravity of human nature. From virtuous non-Christians such as Socrates, through to lust, gluttony, greed, anger, heresy, violence, fraud and treachery, where he meets Judas. It is epic in every sense, from the content to the language. Mind-blowing.

I totally agree, there are definite parallels in the book - obviously The Divine Comedy is a translation from Italian, so it's made accessible in English.

Look to your feelings
A good look on our inside instead of our outside. The movie is about our emotions and how they intereact with a daily situations. Anger,Joy,Sadness,Fear and disgust control our daily lives and how we respond. What it shows is what happens if one of our emotions takes over and how it can possibly ruin the way we act as a human. I think it was nicely done in showing us everyone has different things going on and fictionally how it is dealt with
