Boy am I dufus. How could I miss it?
A man comes to earth. A carpenter. He's here to change mankind's ways. He's here to preach a story of love and peace and "You humans better change your ways or you'll destroy yourselves." Eventually, he is killed by mankind, but comes back from the dead. He reiterates his stories of goodwill towards all. He only sticks around for a brief period after his resurrection then ascends to the heavens never to be seen again.
The question is what did I just describe? The Passion of the Christ or The Day the Earth Stood Still? If you've never watched The Day the Earth Stood Still, then sit down and watch it. If you never noticed this before, sit down and watch it again. That's what I plan to do now.
On a side note, I would like to say that I did not enjoy Sin City. It's a very good looking film, but it struck me as pointless violence and sex. I thought it had minimalist plot. I might watch it again, though. The one point that I did like about it is that I have yet to figure out what order in which the events occurred. Of course, that's also what made Pulp Fiction so interesting to me. Well, that and the fact that there was some character growth in Sam Jackson.
