That's right folks! Yesterday my and me Mam saw the Passion of the Christ, I was surprised and somewhat disappointed to discover it was quite good if a little unnerving in it's gratuity. I did however object very strongly to the prescence of the devil as a character...He was quite obviously meant by Gibson (a catholic of the strictest order) to represent a gay man! Bastard!, now I ain't gay but I object to having my faith advertised to the world as a bunch of homophobes who believe that judas was tormented by demonic children who resembled GOLLUM before he hung himself and that the devil would take a physical form which involed a deformed conjoined baby. What i would have done is this...take the actor playing jesus, shave off his Beard, replace those orange contact lenses of his with really dark ones, and get him to play the devil as well, completely straight with no mutations or CG shit, then the audience would wonder who he was for a few moments and then use their brains to work out who it's meant to be, a sort of Iago type figure tempting Jesus, which is what the devil is, and the audience would not feel they'd had theri intelligence insulted by making the devil so.....so.....CORNY. apart from this it was fine, i wasn't sick but id did close my eyes for the nailing bits, which made it worse because i could then just hear the crunching! I also couldn't bear the bit where the scrouge gets caught and they rip off a whole bit of flesh to expose ribs beneath :X Happy Easter Indeed! :P Todays Music: Audioslave-Show me how to live # posted by The Prisoner | 6:51 PM | |
