I don't understand the decision to have the actors speak a language none of us understand and use subtitles.
I hate movies with subtitles and avoid them like the plague. I'm not sure I'll make an exception in this case.

One good thing about the subtitles is that this is one movie that the deaf will be able to see in the theatre. My son-in-law is deaf and he has never been in a movie theatre before. He and my daughter always wait until a movie comes out on dvd. You should make an exception in this case, this movie will have a huge impact on everyone who takes the time to see it...

They had excerpts from the film on the Pax channel. At first the actors speaking in Aramaic was disconcerting . you concentrated on the titles while trying to fully take in some amazing images.
But then something odd happens. The old language forces the film away from the present, it lose a contemporary feel, so you are gradually drawn back to a time two millennium ago.

Go see the movie. I demand it.

From what I keep reading from those who have seen the movie, you will be so caught up in what's going on that you won't care about subtitles or anything else. It is a riveting movie. Go see it, my FRiend.
