Granted, this movie is one of the few that deals with controversial issues. It portrays nudity rather than nakedness. But the movie is so full of itself that it is disgusting. Maybe I was oversensitized by imagery in English class, but this movie is just way too blatant. Do I have to see a snake every 10 minutes to be reminded of the garden of eden? At times this movie is little more than celluloid masturbation. Also I really felt the whole situation was way too contrived and unbelievable. Alter the plot from religion to politics (not that far in this film) and it becomes a propoganda film.
