Why do you keep just posting the google analysis of the movie, the trailer and then links to buy?

There is no Google analysis of this film.
And we as Christians are in the Lenten Season (5th Week of Lent); Palm Sunday is this weekend, followed by Holy Week next week, Good Friday, then Easter Sunday.
Therefore, I referenced the Zeffirelli version (a very important film). And the scene with the Centurion in the Military Videos section. Not everything I post has a promotional link.
Therefore, I posted the reference to this film at its proper time and in its proper place.
It's intended to teach theological virtue by way of its art form. I don't expect everyone to like everything I included in this section, but it would be silly to try and discount it. And if you haven't seen the film, why question it?
There is also a military version of the Bible. I believe I still have my original one I received at Ft. Bragg, I supposed it could be argued (now that I consider it) that the military chaplaincy was born right then and there as this scene depicts the centurion having approached Jesus. And perhaps more ironically, we have a user who posted a link concerning a Roman soldier here: http://www.mreinfo.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=11623
John Wayne as the Centurion. From the Passion of the Lord, Palm Sunday.

Easter Sunday Vigil — The Resurrection of the Lord
The Roman Legion, at the time of Christ, was the most powerful Army in the world. When the scouts got to the tomb with the rock dropped into place they had to quickly report back and undoubtedly said, “we’re going to need a bigger Army.”
