The concept of original sin has been around for thousands of years, much longer than Hollywood movies. Pretending you don’t understand this is dishonest

The concept of the "original sin" is a purely Christian innovation. The Jews do no recognize any such entity. They see Adam and Eve misbehaving and being punished for what they have done, and deserving so.

Likewise, the Jews did not see a need for man to be "saved" spiritually. That is another Christian innovation. To the Jews, salvation has a literal meaning, as in saved from Egyptians, Babylonians, or Romans, etc.
