What this film does, not even having been released, is to bring to the surface, for all to see and consider, the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. When beliefs become so internalized and so unpolite in common discussion - that we feel we must be personal and private about them, that we dare not bring them to any public discussion, those same beliefs become, for a society, meaningless. This film seems to break at least one barrier.

I agree to a point. My parents were old enough to be my grandparents when I was born. My father, having been in the Army and then a postal worker, was more attuned to society in general, while my mother chose to hide behind attitudes that were learned back when Irish Catholicsm was treated harshly and with predjudice. I am very disappointed with the Catholic Church. I no longer attend. The only thing I can do is do my best to keep to the Ten Commandments and The Golden Rule.

I have a lot of things on my plate right now; how I worship God is indeed my personal business...
