Why can't anyone make a movie that is totally, completely, biblically accurate (I'm looking at you, every movie made about Moses!)? The real stories are much more dramatic than the "adaptations".

What next? A Disney adaptation to "Paradise Lost" (those lovable satyrs go against that mean "man upstairs"!)? Oliver Stone's "Sodom and Gomorrah" (where self-righteous homophobes surround Lot's house to demand he bring out the two gay angels)?

At the start of the 1956 version of The Ten Commandments, Cecil De Mille came on the screen and explained that he was taking dramatic license so as to tell a good story. However, in my opinion, sticking to the original story would have been better.
