Why the prostitute love story?


That was quite lame and pointless. Movie was 2 hours 20 minutes. They should have made it an even 2 and cut out this really unnecessary story line.

It's not just a story about Jesus. Jake's story is just as important. He loved his wife... He killed her, but he absolutely loved her. The Man is away 6 years and meets a Woman he can help. He's trying to make up for his sins. Trying to mend his relationship with his wife through someone else. She's getting abused when he REALLY meets her. It parallels his situation. The main story is Jesus and Jake but Spike always layers his films. I actually enjoyed it.
