In Reply to: "Any movie that drives the anti-Christian entertainment elite crazy." posted by clarkjohnsen on July 23, 2003 at 09:02:37:
It would appear that a mid-life crisis filmaker, supported by religious propagandists and Conservative wing-nut politicians are eyeing this new film to inspire the public *conscience* toward Christianity. Unfortunately, there would appear to be legitimate controversy about the film's depiction of Jews; enough to warrant concerns about fostering an anti-semitic attitude! If that is the case, it would be similar to the impact of D.W. Griffith's greatest film rehabilitating the South while encouraging white separatism! Beyond the cinematic achievement of the film, the overwhelming success of "Birth of a Nation" also resulted in the resurgence of the KKK and stalled race relations for over 30 years!Well, not to overstate the case, "The Passion" may be a great film, but it will NOT receive my patronage. Not to offend anyone's sensitivities, but religious zealotry of any sort just isn't my cuppa tea! The idea of more crazed cultists latching on to allegorical fables in this marvelous age of science and discovery is a sad reflection on the fearful side of Man's nature.
