[QUOTE="Kai Lord, post: 1503634, member: 3570"] There were a couple other specific things, too. As mentioned earlier, Bill's Superman speech really didn't sound like something Bill would say. The "voice of Tarantino" in that instance actually took me out of the moment. You're right. "Transcended" probably wasn't the right word, I was just strongly buzzing off the film when I posted that and overstated a bit. :cool: Totally. Little things like how she put her legs and back into her punches at the end. A very noticeable step up from the Cameron Diaz Charlie's Angels crap we're starting to see a lot of. I was writing my last post when you posted this and I kind of got into it a little bit there. To be more specific The Passion was a unique experience in bringing to life what Jesus suffered in a way that I don't always allow when I read the Scriptures and think about what He went through for my sake. There are other specific things but basically I believe anything (a movie, song, event, etc.) that points toward Jesus will always have more value than something that does not. I see a lot of Christian allegory in LOTR. The innocent being who bears the sin of the world, the White Rider and all the horses charging down from the "heavens", the lake of fire, the city that goes up into the sky, the ease of even good men at falling into temptation, etc. Anyway, I'll just leave it at that for the sake of answering your question. If you don't believe what I believe, obviously those elements will hold little to no value for you. But we all have our standards of judgment, and that's where mine are based. [/QUOTE]
