Hollywood's Self Inflicted Wound

[Doc]

I think not. I am not alone, there were many here in the South who suffered the ultimate cruelty of the cat o nine tails. There are prolly lots of folks capable of offering their opinions.

Would watching the whipping scene bother me? I don't know. I honestly can't say. All these years later I still bleed. My skin is tissue paper thin in places on my back, inspite of the skin grafts. Just stretching my arms out can tear the skin and cause me to bleed a bit, all these years later. I doubt watching it would bother me much more then living with it, which I do every day. I have been shot too... And watching folks in movies get plugged can make me wince a bit. It's kind of an interesting question now that I think about it.

I am not keen on the ideas sold in the film. To much death, hate, and near sexual fetish violent pornography. To focus on Jesus' death to such a degree is just wrong, at least in my own humble worthless opinion. For me, I would rather focus on the fact that he came back to life, the tomb is empty. The whole point of Grace and the Abolition of the Law was life, not death. Jesus asked us to "Love one another" and so far, this film has done little but make folks hate each other and be angry. You will know a tree by the fruit it bears...
