Anyway, why wouldn't they just translate the English subtitles? How many people in the world can translate Aramaic, vs. how many able to translate English?

Safire came up with that idiotic talking point, and Passionbashers have been running with it. Every tiny country aparently has its own Aramaic translators just itching to take on "the Passion", as it will be the only job they will ever have in their lifetimes.

I guess I just don't understand the movie biz. Apparently when a film is released overseas, the producer surrenders all creative control and the distributor can slap on any old subtitles they wish. They can rewrite the whole script if they want.

At least, that is what I am led to believe here. ;D
