In Reply to: A History of Violence -- Deeper Themes... posted by tpcarter on October 28, 2005 at 20:45:46:
a little overly broad, I would say. Your point is well taken that there is a distinct reference to Jesus, both in the name and in the talk of death and rebirth in the desert. This is not necessarily uncommon...many films and books provide religious symbolism, for example the hero in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest also had definite parallels to Jesus.But I think you make too much out of this. I don't think there is any religious point to this at all, nothing to do with Jesus dying or not dying for our sins.
It is a very personal story about a man who totally transformed his life, but who did not truly transform his deeper nature. That simple really. Plus some superficial and somewhat pointless events that show that perhaps his son inherited his violent nature. Perhaps Joey Cusack thought he could be reborn as an innocent because his initials made him think of himself as Jesus Christ. I think identifying the two and interpreting this as a parable about Jesus is too much.
