Interesting idea. No, I didn't pick up on it. Here's the verse:
--- Quote ---In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.

There is a Bible in the movie that becomes significant. Maybe there are other Biblical allusions ...? Biblical and religious allusions aren't really my forte.
C'mon, the rest of you! Go see it and add your views!

I think there must be a connection, given that Ben Wade is a bit of a Biblical scholar and regular quotes Bible verses in the movie. VERY interesting. Thanks for that one, Lee.

Oh, and at one point Ben Wade (Russell Crowe's bad-guy character) says he read the Bible in three days while waiting for his mother, who had abandoned him.
I found this a little implausible. About the three days, I mean.

He draws the picture of Dan Evans on the front page of the Bible, and Dan's son Will sees it (near the end).

Right. That's what I meant when I referred above to a Bible that becomes significant. I didn't get more specific because I'm sort of hypersensitive about discussing things that happen near the end.
