I was making light of the situation, and I agree that the movie's extreme success and the lack of much obvious adverse reaction (thus far) has dulled much of the criticism. I'm sort of waiting to see what happens next.

Rich, thanks and we get it - no need to post the link on every Passion post, since there are about 40 and all.

So let me get this straight, Hitchens (and William Safire) think that when the movie is translated into, say, Cantonese, they're going to find a Syriac-Cantonese translator to listen to the soundtrack and produce Chinese subtitles or dub it in Cantonese? Or, of course, they could just work from the English subtitles. In which case, removing the subtitles *would* affect what people around the world see.
