I try (hard emphasis on "try") to give movies a little leeway for that. I agree though, it sucks they didn't get a chance to take it further, and had to water it down so much for mass appeal. And then, even after being diluted, it still pissed religious folks off enough to call for boycotts. People are silly silly beasts.

Finally found some things: <br /><br />The statue is either called "St John Resting on Jesus' Chest," or "Christ Saint John Ensemble." I've found information listing it as either by an unknown artist or by a Master Heinrich of Konstanz, from Germany. <br /><br />Even me mistaking him as being female makes a lot of sense, what with all the theories buzzing out there about why Saint John is often depicted as effeminate in certain periods of art.<br /><br />Also, it was carved around 1300 for a convent in Switerland. I wonder if John's feminine looks could have been in part because nuns identified so deeply with him? Perhaps, it's more likely that this is just how ideal young men were styled and depicted at the time.<br /><br />That was fun, and just the sort of information I was hoping for. Thanks for the knowledge bomb. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01980152977506969006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7027679286669152033.post-64844397405941340682012-11-16T12:16:25.431-08:002012-11-16T12:16:25.431-08:00Hey Allyson - the figure resting his head on Jesus...Hey Allyson - the figure resting his head on Jesus is the apostle John. In some translations of John 13:25, it says that John rested his head on Jesus's chest at the last supper. John is usually depicted as being very young and beardless, since he was supposedly still alive in the year 100 A.D. <br /><br />Don't know anything about that particular sculpture though!Everett Pattersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08382845307711366562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7027679286669152033.post-10215568742426851102012-10-01T07:33:23.153-07:002012-10-01T07:33:23.153-07:00This is very beautiful.
