Though like you, it's my only real criticism and certainly doesn't take away from the whole experience.

Actually, it would have worked wonderfully if the crow had just fluttered there for a moment while the bad thief cursed Jesus.

I left the theater six hours ago and I still feel like I've been hit with a ton of bricks.

I saw the movie Mon. night and couldn't really discuss it much until today. It seems like the movie keeps flooding back to me in pieces. I thought at first it was too heavy to see again, but now I think I want to review it soon.

Yep, I'm with you. The crow (or was it a raven?) was a little bit much. They could have done without it entirely, or just had it sit there.

Did you notice how the Romans were obviously spooked by the storm? Romans were superstitious about that sort of thing.

I think he could have made Pilate's character flatter, or else he could have made Caiaphas' character a little rounder. That and the thing with the crow are the only things I would have changed about the movie, really.

Did you hear that one Roman say "let's make music" before they started beating Jesus? My husband doesn't speak Latin, but Spanish is his first language, and he said the Roman said that, even though it wasn't subtitled.
