Yeah, something can surely be said about it, but all that has already been said by others, in particular LittleWriter and me. And where is the Italian translation of "hurry! the coach is waiting" that was supposed to prove something.
In my not very humble opinion, the prologue is another example of JJ's or the director's tendency to use dramatic effects to the max, and with great success, without really caring about details. It makes much, much more sense to leave your home *before* you set fire to it, instead of hanging around with your son and waiting until the flames will attract a crowd and your pursuers will gain on you.
About Camille Paglia. I'll put my extremely negative opinion in spoilers, read it at your own peril.
Spoiler:Her ideas are a load of yipple dung: men with their mutilated egos (mutilated by us Dionysian women of course) try to escape female domination and because the poor guys always feel incomplete they turn to cultural stuff. Being a genius is just the male way of coping with suppression. Heh. And I can think of many, many geniuses who were not homosexual or a-sexual, but I guess that terrible Paglia woman will claim those were not REAL geniuses. She is not just narcistic, vain, attention-deprived and violent, she also openly supports legalisation of child pornography and even snuff movies!! Enough said.
Oh well. I've milked this game dry.
