Christopher Hitchens on Charlie Rose 25-Feb-04 (Part 2)

[evergreenpotato]

The biblical story of the passion of Christ is a violent one. How on earth could anyone make a film based on it that isn't violent?

[InnerSmile72]

@evergreenpotato Historically, biblically and psychologically, the depictions go too far. It's irrelevant and it's sickening. It's a horror film masquerading as propaganda. In part one of this interview the case for this is quite eloquently made. There have been dozens of films of this subject that were "violent" and no one is peeping about them. New Rule: Don't make a psychopathic cult-thriller and say you did it out of love for your god

Kudos for the guy from the Christian Science Monitor for being honest. Imagine if it was Dinesh D'souza sitting in that chair.

Rose's little smirk regarding the subtitle comment of Hitchens (4-5 minute) was immediately retracted by an intelligent observation concerning middle east politics.
