[net.movies] re Passage to India--Worst Movie

As for a certain individual's recent flaming of the movie
"Passage to India", I can understand how someone with absolutely
no imagination might not like the movie; it was one of the few in
recent years which requires some amount of thought on the part
of the viewer. We've all heard the expression:

      "casting pearls before swine".....

      Enough said.     Rich Ganns ihnp4!hou2a!hound!ganns

Sure, the flame was pretty incoherent and all, but what's all this 
violence personally directed towards the flamer?

The guy didn't explain why he hated it, but none of the respondents
explained why they thought it was so good.  I seems that they assumed
that everyone KNEW it was good.

Hey, I liked Forster's novel a lot.  However, I'm not particularly interested
in seeing it as a movie, and I don't think that makes me ignorant, or
a swine, etc.
