"Dogma" is an irreverent, funny view of religion served up by Kevin Smith (a.k.a. "Silent Bob", director and writer of "Clerks", "Mallrats", "Chasing Amy"). Although there is a lot of reliance on jokes from pop culture (It's "Ironic" who plays God in this movie), some of the philosophical arguments are quite clever, as is the "loophole" in dogma which may lead to annihilation. I think this would make a good double feature with "The Prophecy".Now aren't you glad that you're here in the peaceful "Film Asylum" instead of the Apocalyptic "Music Asylum"?
From what I have heard and read of the "movie" it is an affront to anyone who calls himself/herself a Bible believing Christian. Had such a movie been produced about Mohammed, Muslims would probably put a price on the heads of the people involved as they did with a certain Iranian author. I am sorry that people get good feelings from making fun of and presenting a false and incorrect story of the one I believe is my Lord and Savior and the religion that He inspired.
hey, lighten up - it's just a movie, and from what i hear, a sophomoric one at that. there are plenty of serious issues with which to be indignant; this silly movie is not one of them. i heard a review given by a priest who found it to be a very tired piece of old catholic jokes and found it not worth his time to take offense.
i hope you were not using the fatwah upon rushdie (one of the greatest writers of the century) as a respectable reaction to an affront, as that action only illuminated a small, base element in the muslim community.
I will not attempt to defend the film or my review and opinion of it. I therefore apologize to Mike Craig and all those who have been offended by it but did not post. I request that the Moderators remove my review and any posts tied to it.I do find it interesting that there was only one response to my post over a period of five days, while the post about "The Matrix" generates fifteen responses in four days.
Hello
Born and raised Catholic, I loved the film. Particularly the part about
mortal man not being capable of withstanding the voice of GOD, then
casting Alanis.
Born and raised does not make one a believer. I can understand why you would like the "movie."
