New Line's 'The Nativity' thread.

[JayKay]

Deep thought - When athesists or agnostics say, "Oh my God!", do they realize what they're saying? Ponder that one for a while. But silently, we need no ongoing religious debates.

You don't want a religous debate, yet you made a post criticisin athiests in a thread about the Nativity...

 

[The Sage]

Looking forward to this movie.

I don't subcribe to neither atheism or agnositic but that is not really a deep thought. Most people are brought up under some type of religion, or at the very least "Oh God" is a phrase deeply ingrain in our culture that we just say it when we're shocked, what else is there to say. So just because an aithiest says it, doesn't make that person any less of an aithiest.

I thought it was pretty good.
It had some comedic moments and used the three wise men mostly for that purpose. Watching women give birth back before christ was a total turn off and was a little too real,took me out of the moment at times.
Mary was very stoic and Joseph was nicely cast. The set up to their relationship was pretty much, BAM!1!! your married.
There were times I thought I was watching Lord of the Rings.
I loved the wise men and the birth of Christ was the only thing that really wowed me. It almost got me in the christmas spirit.

Yeah well, if someone runs up in a Spider-Man 3 thread and posts: "I have no desire to see this crap, I don't believe in it, and it's all a bunch of crap. Spider-Man isn't real, and all this is fake."

Sure, it's that guy's opinion, but it's just him being a jerk. He knows damn well it's going to lead to fighting and he will be slapped in the eye lids.

at risk of being *****ed slapped, the bit ive emboldened is actually a fact

NATIVITY STAR IS PREGANT, UNWED: Vatican disses young actress; other Christians have gentle response

(December 6, 2006)Email to a friend | Print Friendly Like the Biblical Mary, Keisha Castle-Hughes, who portrays the blessed virgin in the year-end cinema smash, Nativity Story is with child reports the Associated Press.

Like Mary, she is the subject of gossip and rejection. Unlike Mary, she is not married and according to an AP report, the agency that represents the 16-year-old says the young Australia-born actress is due to give birth in the spring. The father of her unborn child is 19-year-old Bradley Hull, who she has been dating for three years.


Some Christian and media organizations were anticipating that support for the movie would die down after this revelation.


Castle-Hughes, two years ago was the youngest best-actress Oscar nominee for her role in the New Zealand-based film "Whale Rider" and has received strong reviews for her role in the Nativity Story. She was described by New York Times critic A.O. Scott as having “the poise and intelligence to play the character not as an icon of maternity, but rather as a headstrong, thoughtful adolescent transformed by an unimaginable responsibility." In her new reality she may draw from the strength in character she displayed on screen. Her new responsibility couldn’t come at a more unimaginable time.


Vatican officials reportedly dis-invited the talented Aussie from the Vatican's world premiere of the movie on November 26.


Some Christians are more understanding, separating the person from the part she plays. Dr. David Jeremiah of Turning Point Radio and Television Ministries, a Christian broadcaster, author, and the pastor of Shadow Mountain Community Church in San Diego, California, has prasied The Nativity Story it’s essential message, especially as secularist attempt to remove the Christ from Christmas. Jeremiah says, "and I don't believe you can hold her responsible for a character that would be, certainly, fitting with the character of Mary in the scripture."


With regard to potential scandal he points out, "You have to remember, these people are actors. I think most intelligent, sophisticated, American people can figure that out, and they're not going to let that ruin or in any way cause them to have concern over the film."
