I can say with 100% certainty it's The Simpsons Movie, and
I haven't even seen it yet.

This is my opinion, sorry. Actually, the case could be made that the film embodies the war between good and evil. Evil won, but lost me somewhere along the way, but what do I know. Anyway, the movie I saw was about a guy doing voiceover and a guy saying little, but destroying a big part of Texas and not paying for it. Evil wins. |

Note, I haven't seen it yet, and the earlier mentioned There Will Be Blood seems to more directly focus on religious themes. |
