Just started watching heaven and earth and it seems like it’s become a national past-time to winge about how squeamish you are on National TV.
TV Presenter: What did you think of The Passion
Guest 1: It was awful, I couldn’t bear it, I have never been so sick in my life. I kept my eyes closed the whole time. The music was loud.
Guest 2: I agree, I was cowering with my jacket pulled up over my head. I have never seen anything like it.
A little tip… if you are watching a movie with subtitles, it really does help to keep your eyes open. You can’t say “I closed my eyes” and “this movie doesn’t have a story line” in the same interview. And what’s with the “I’m squeamish and proud of it” attitude? Nobody boasts about how squeamish they are when it comes to movies like Kill Bill.
In the interview one of the guests said “all you hear for 2 hours and 9 minutes is skin being beaten and bones crunching”. I’m quite sure that you don’t hear bones crunching, as it is VERY clear that “None of his bones are broken”.
The other thing that isn’t exactly factual, it that apparantly the Jewish pharasees are speaking Aramaic, this was not the case. They did not speak Aramaic but Hebrew, anyway, it would have gotten way too confusing if Mel decided to throw in Hebrew in there as well.
I will go and watch it when it comes out, and will be blogging about it again.
