I guess it's only one or the other, and I suspect that a movie capable 
of eliciting such a strong response -- revulsion, which I rarely ever 
feel watching a movie or reading a book -- has something special.

I am not even saying that it is a bad movie. I believe it perfectly does 
what it is intended to do (rile me up?).

It probably has to do with my Catholic upbringing and with a dislike for 
seeing women depicted as martyrs/saints but goes deeper than that.
