I had to see this film as it never left my mind after it premiered, even though I wanted to think it was ridiculous. It stayed in my Boston theater for 7 weeks, and each passing week I was sure it would be gone, which would give me the excuse to say I missed it.
I would have to lie to stick with my original impression before seeing it, as I had previously blogged that it was bogus without seeing it first. That was a foolish mistake.
It's emotional to watch painting after painting clearly implicating cardinals, bishops, priests and brothers of my Church, and there are loads of documents as well.
The worst for me is that I have (had) a huge pieces of one of these "famous" artworks in my house and it is shown clearly in the film that it contains shocking sexual embedded imagery. God help me! How did I miss this? Now my "artwork" is in the garbage! I guess it is somewhat of a comfort that even the techniques of these embeds are explained, especially on this piece of art and how the eyes and brain work and how the sick artists funded by the Church embed the blasphemous and sexual images.
Both the director Michael A. Calace and Dr. Wilson Bryan Key show graphically how the eye strikes art at certain predetermined places on the works of these horror artists, yet misses the places where the embedded image is located.
I thought fantastic information was supposed to make one feel good all around. At least I know the honest truth.
