I remember this because certain critics were already lampooning his next project as possibly depicting the Macabees using machine guns to destroy the temple, etc. After a recent re-viewing of "Braveheart," I have a new appreciation for what Gibson attempts to do in his films. Although I have not seen either "The Passion" or "Apocolypto," the scenes from "Braveheart" where he depicts the deeply held Catholic faith of the Scots would not have come from many other producers or directors alive today, specifically the glimpse given of the Catholic priest retrieving the wounded from the battlefield while the fight is raging. The film had its faults, but the respect and honor given to the Catholic faith in that movie was remarkable. <br /><br />Spielberg is another matter. I expect a thorough undercurrent of the Talmud throughout that work, otherwise it wouldn't be made.Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18288849522994640993noreply@blogger.com
