I was sitting here thinking about things...and then i thought! Why make Religious movies?
I know this is a VERY VERY controversial topic, but i'll try to take is as slow and gentle as i can put it.....
I recently saw "The Passion of the Christ" starring Jim Caviezel, directed by Mel Gibson. I thought it was sending out a powerful message to the audience. It was good, because it showed us all that Jesus died for our sins.....and ya da ya da. I don't want to offend any people's religions....but I think we would be much better off without Religious movies. It really doesn't help us. And if there were such religious movies.....why not just send it to like a church for viewing or right out to video for educational purposes?
Now, you are probably thinking....yeah i see your point, buddy. But, you don't have to SEE the movie at all if you dont want to. IT is just a choice. I know i know. But, I just don't like the fact that movies like this portraying Religious themes should not compete with hollywood...and just be made by the church or religious people that want to send a message to the kids. It should not be UP FOR OSCARS, OR EMMY'S OR ANYTHING. Religion is just an idea.
What do you think?
