Haven't seen it yet (and maybe I won't get around to it for a while), but I wouldn't think it's pandering to the religious to make Biblical movies. If so, they did a bad job of it and evangelicals have been quite offended! But it's Western mythology, it's as much fair game as Clash of the Titans or something, except the awkward part that people still believe in it.<br /><br />Genesis is quite weird and mysterious and I'd hoped a good director could portray that. Adaptations always add things and change the original story, but if they do it in a way that works then it's forgivable. The whole villain angle seems Hollywood formulaic and that's unfortunate. <br /><br />Been a long time since I discovered Pi. Wonder if, like Hubert Selby, Requiem for a Dream, sales of the source material will go up hehe. Even the Fountain was at least interesting. Black Swan was so perfect and so recent. Lest I leave out mentioning the Wrestler as well. But no one can keep up such a momentum forever, guess everyone must sell out eventually, too bad...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
