\"I paid some attention to the subtitles and wonder if they might not mislead non-Orthodox or non-Christian viewers by not making it clear when he was reciting psalms in their entirety.\"
I don\'t know what you mean by \'mislead\', but I am sad that it does not translate all the prayers for my English-speaking, non-Orthodox family/friends. I think a lot is missed. Subtitles are never as good as the original language. It is still a wonderful and well done movie, though.
On that note, I had a Protestant cousin watch it, and he honestly asked \"So are they (the monks) trying to draw him in and convert him?\" and then \"So basically this guy is just crazy.\" LOL. I tried to explain, but I don\'t think he ever fully got it :) It\'s a different world, that\'s for sure.
