I don't know if it's necessary to show a film to ANYONE before it's released, just to keep from ruffling feathers. That even goes for showing it to the so-called right to get their support.If we truly have freedom of speech, why not just put the film out there and let people decide whether or not it is offensive or not? Who cares if the Christians or Jewish community get mad, if we truly believe that freedom of speech exists?
If I remember correctly, there was a backlash against the Christian community for the protests about "Temptation," saying that moviemakers had a right to say whatever they wanted, and it didn't matter what the Christians thought. Now it looks like the shoe might be on the other foot, no?
Follow Ups:
Obviously the screening was held to make sure that Christian filmgoers would shell out their cash to see it. By the same token Mel's production company was equally concerned that non-Christians, especially those of the Jewish faith, who might see this film as anti-semitic and raise a protest prior to it's official release, be prevented from previewing the film; thus, the "selective" screening.AuPh
