{B]mel1ssa [/b]- Of course there is something to be said for your therory as well (read below). From Wiki: Hail Mary (French: Je vous salue, Marie) is a 1985 French film written and directed by Jean-Luc Godard. The film is a modern retelling of the birth of Jesus Christ. Plot The movie tells of the "Virgin Mary", Marie (Myriem Roussel), who works at a Swiss gas station. She plays basketball for a local team, claims to be a virgin and maintains a chaste relationship with her boyfriend Joseph (Thierry Rode), who is a taxi cab driver. When a passing stranger named Uncle Gabriel (Phillippe Lacoste) informs Marie that she will become pregnant despite remaining chaste, she is at first shocked and confused. In time, Joseph's anger subsides, and the expectant couple marries. They raise their son, Jesus (Malachi Jara Kohan), who eventually leaves his family to pursue "his father's business." Meanwhile Marie explores her sexuality, seeking to link her individual body and spirit. Reception Hail Mary, which contains many scenes of full frontal nudity, offended some Christians. Pope John Paul II criticized the film saying that it "deeply wounds the religious sentiments of believers." Protestors showed up at some theaters on opening night. Hail Mary also receive poor reviews, including a review in the New York Times that caricaturized the film as being neither provocative nor entertaining. At the Cannes Film Festival a man unhappy with the film threw a shaving cream pie into Godard’s face, making international news. Under heavy criticism Godard attempted to withdraw the film from Italy, but his distributor was unable to do so. Despite the initial heavy criticism, the film has also been praised for its beautiful camera shots. And lets not forget the reaction from the bible belt states about this film:
