I appreciate that last post, Rouge. Thanks for explaining your motives. Just as I hope you have no severe problem with my reaction to the film (I can see how it would seem confounding to you), I certainly have no problem with your enthusiasm and devotion to it and the teachings it presents.
We are all passionate about different things and I admire your intensity and passion in this area, I just didn't like it being forced upon me or having things assumed about me. Believe me, I hear you. Your rashness and bluntness certainly work in getting your opinions across, but I'll be maintating my stance as is. I'll probably watch it again when it comes to DVD, though.
Note: I liked the very brief scene of Jesus entering on the ass among the palms. I'm not sure why, but it was very simple and did a nice job of showing that arrival. Perhaps it's part of the reason why I craved more similar references. I also appreciated the referrence to the Sermon, not because I felt I needed to be hand-held through the story or that I needed to be hit over the head with the significance of this man or his teachings, but rather it humanized the story and made the brutality even more relentless.
Hopefully some more folks will join this discussion...
