See The Chronicles of Narnia...the only reason this film did so well was because of all the church youth groups going to see it and what have you.dpm07 said:I don't think the film will do well. Most people on the boards here are pretty disappointed in the whole Christian Mythology, and probably wouldn't see a film like this.
If people take the time to read many posts here on the boards, there is a pretty anti-religious theme that is prevalent, and this would likely transcend into the cinemas. I can't understand why producers would want to make a film of this background due to this. The Passion was a fluke. I don't see another religious film with Christianity doing as well.

The Guard said:It's metaphorical rape, not literal, as I understand it. The idea is that Mary essentially has no choice in what she is asked to do. And the film supposedly deals with how it affects her.
HUMAN said:It makes me happy to see all this hatred towards Christianity. And that's not sarcasm.
Addendum said:And how does that equate to quality?
Bad Superman said:Well, I guess if that many people watched it and paid for it, it does have many qualities, unless you already made up your mind before watching or not watching.
It's really weird how everyone's supposed to "show sensitivity" regarding the beliefs of Christians and Muslims but no one has to show any towards me and my beliefs.Lightning Strikez! said:Everyone's personal religious views notwithstanding, may I remind participants in this thread that Christianity is the second largest religion in the world (behind Islam). That means that many Hypesters here may share those Christian beliefs.
That said, let's show a little sensitivity to the feelings of others, okay? Tact goes a long way.
Oh, quit acting like a sissy. Scientology is stupid, anyway. Thetans? Xenu? L. Ron Hubbard even said that if you want to make lots of money to start a religion...Wilhelm-Scream said:It's really weird how everyone's supposed to "show sensitivity" regarding the beliefs of Christians and Muslims but no one has to show any towards me and my beliefs.
And no one gives 2 ant poos if you mercilessly rip Scientology to shreds all day.

Lt. Figgnuts said:I think he meant "fluke" in the sense that it made an ass-load of money, and that isn't likely to happen again with a Christian film.
Perhaps "freak of nature" or "anomoly" would be a more appropriate term.
I'm not acting like a sissy. Unlike paper-skinned Christians and Muslims, I CAN take the verbal abuse from people who think my beliefs are stupid. I just hate double-standards.Stewie Griffin said:Oh, quit acting like a sissy. Scientology is stupid, anyway. Thetans? Xenu? L.

No one says, "HEY! Tone it down. Let's respect the fact that Wilhelm believes in the global conspiracy and the 4th dimensional reptilians and stop insulting him."
And you're saying that a woman giving birth without having sex and every species of animal in the whole world all coming to one place and fitting inside a boat for over a month, even though the carnivores had nothing to eat and a magical Devil who is pure evil and yet God allows him into heaven and chats with him and instead of destoying him lets him roam around tormenting and tempting everyone...because he loves us so much, isn't just as ridiculous as Xenu? Hahahaha
