Martin Scorsese Presents: The Saints

First, not withstanding his talents, Scorsese sadly seems intent on making The Saints about himself in title and his presence throughout. This during a time when the vast center and outspoken of his industry is clearly anti-Christianity.

Second, the screens seem poorly fabricated and labor-some throughout and more fitting to a 'B' grade movie even though the actress portraying Joan seemed quite good - not withstanding the fake french accents.

Third, I found the mostly pretentious panel discussion tedious and primarily useless other than the light explanation and timeline refererence of how Sainthood is determined by the Catholic Church today.

Note comments like "not even a person of letters" adds nothing but does show the bias of fools playing to the camera with nothing of value to add other than their token popularity restricted to their worldly pursuits. And, madam, giggling is never acceptable for any serious discussion.

Somehow these "experts?" provided nothing but seemed there only as attempt to gander credibility by their presence - which failed to my view.

Fourth, I must confess that I only watched the Joan of Arc episode as I judged the effort on this first episode as indicating the rest would not be worth my time or the fee to FOX. Plus there are much, much better source materials that can be studied which far surpass this attempt by(?) Scorsese.

Fifth, by stripping out the "panel" these episodes might be suitable for teens in a classroom setting to be shown prior to a discussion in general and on specific issues led by an informed teacher.
