LETTER
FROM PETE GALLAGHER
St Petersburg, FL
March 2, 2004
Dear Red:
just returned from "Passion."
I make the following observations:
1. The movie is mis-titled.
It should be titled "The Ass Kicking of
Christ" or "Jesus Christ, Kick His Ass!" because
all plot, who was a Jew
and who was not, anything literal about the production, historical
fact
or fiction, all was lost in what I believe is the absolutely worst
ass-kicking in the history of movies. "Raging Bull" was
a pussy next to
Christ. I cannot remember anything except the guy getting the shit
beat
out of him, over and over and over and over again. When he fell
down,
they kicked his ass to make him get up. When he could not carry
the
cross, they whipped ass all over him to keep him walking. Then,
when the worst ass-kicking in world history (even up to today) was
all over, they kicked him in the head and nailed him to the cross.
Gave him vinegar to drink, stabbed him in the heart. For anyone
in the mood one night to go and see some serious world class Pharisee-style
ass-kicking, I highly recommend this movie.
2. The theatre was filled
with young teens. Watching a good 90 minutes of nothing but ass
whipping. I'm sure they all ran out to get the Bible as soon as
the movie ended.
3. Jesus was wearing
modern day spandex briefs under his sarong. (There goes the Oscar
for costuming -- Mel you blew it) Tan colored. Not once did he get
kicked in the balls the entire movie. I don't believe kicking in
the balls became a part of the certified ass kicking regimen until
Napoleon's time, so at least THAT part of the movie was historically
accurate.
Raiford Starke sends
his regards.
Yours,
Pete Gallagher
