I just saw it--and I did not like it....
It did not tell me or show me anything that I had not heard for years of going to church....
all it showed was again mans inhuman treatment of another person.
The 30 minutes of flogging and brutality could have been reduced to a few minutes---the torn and riped flesh sent the message the first time...the rest was not needed...
The drab colors (not even the blood was red) and the subtitles--when they were shown, left a lot to be desired....
A good movie I would want to see again--this one did not make the grade.
As far as who was to blame for what--it just did not come through to me.....maybe if I was a religious schoular, I would have had some idea who all of these people were....they just reminded me of a lot of dumb uneducated idiots, looking for blood.
I am sure it will make an impact on some of the younger people who were born say around 1950, but for us older gereation we have already seen mans inhumanity to man at Aushwitz...it really isn't something we want to be reminded of again.
I'm glad HE said all I have to do is believe--not understand.
