The other interesting thing is when a film is made by a community (screenwriter, director, actor interpreting the lines, test screenings) the message often gets layered facets or even muddied so that multiple perspectives shine through the author's original intent. I'm always curious what got cut, rewritten, or nuanced by an actor's tone that alters that and how a good message may be twisted... OR how a sovereign storyteller can even squeeze some living water from a stone.

When I watch it in THAT context I know 8 year old me would have loved it. I did notice some swipes at Christianity in the movie - the mention of blood sacrifice for sin, Zeus saying something along the lines of "what kind of god would I be if I sacrificed my only son?". Seem to be a subtext there of not damning the gods but damning THE God. Just something I picked up. No idea what the intent was.
