Query: Disturbing Metaphors

Sorry to use a non film comparison but The Wicker Man is the cinematic version of Brueghel's painting "Carnival Versus Lent". The Christian reviewers seeing this film as indicting Paganism misunderstand it in the same way various modern Pagans have thought of The Wicker Man as a celebration of Paganism. In reality, it takes an existentialist approach showing the hypocricy of all beliefs and I would hardly call that dated. Not just the music (haunting English ballads with bawdy themes) but all the imagery is so evocative that each viewing brings up more intuition. Just as significant as The Seventh Seal but a hell of a lot more entertaining and a lot less pretentious. Its too bad that the only way to get the extended version of dvd is in the special edition box. Either way, make sure to see the extended version which is the way the movie was meant to be seen.
