Ciao,

Joe Zitt made a good point that the movie was like a Passion Play in
that the viewers were expected to know the story prior to coming to
the flick. That is similar to the Greek plays wherein the crowd already
knew the stories of the gods, and the Greek heros prior to coming to
the tragedies/comedies. If you see a classical Greek play today without
knowing the backgrounds you would be completely lost. The play definitely
was for Peak fans, who knew the characters, the stories, the themes,
and motifs.


A end note: I just loved the beginning with the staticy (a real word?)
television. I may be reading too much into it, but one one level I found
it as a great inside joke: our televisions were dead, no TP on the air.
Then the axe coming down, again a joke on how the show was killed, hacked
to death by some yo-yo tv execs. But then.....the film starts and it might
be off the air, but it ain't dead.
