I'm not sure what the reason for that is. It's almost as if they just used a real statue and digitized it for the film because it was easier. The film has another, I think bigger, problem. It strongly misrepresents the 4 kingdoms represented by the image in Nebuchadnezzar's dream. But that could get into a really long post so I'll leave it at that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25980576.post-44802145751582483942014-04-12T14:25:32.407-10:002014-04-12T14:25:32.407-10:00Mary, I really wanted to give them the benefit of ...Mary, I really wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt too.EC Gefrohhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06821950576683551325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25980576.post-86764195068672656512014-04-12T13:07:03.556-10:002014-04-12T13:07:03.556-10:00Unbelievable, it DOES look like St. Patrick.

That looks like one of his symbols.
