franciscanheart Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 [quote name='Brother Adam' timestamp='1342634973' post='2456786']And magic mike contains porn based on the parent guides. It doesn't have to be NC-17 (a rating which is very rare because it kills ticket sales) to be porn. You don't have to see a movie to judge that its porn. Just because something has nudity doesn't make it porn either - Schindler's List, Wages of Fear, Walkabout isn't porn, but MM really crosses that line where the human body is exploited and meant to arose the audience. As JPII said, porn shows too little of the human person, not too much. A Christian shouldn't see the movie any more than they should read 50 Shades of Grey or Girls Gone Wild. [/quote] I appreciate your sentiments, but Magic Mike isn't the issue the ladies of phatmass are having with the croutons that's being thrown around. Also: I think it should be pretty obvious to anyone who knows that the whole movie is about a STRIPPER that this is probably not an appropriate flick -- and that it probably aims to arouse its audience. I think I'm done here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Adam Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 That's fine. Some of the comments seemed to say that we shouldn't judge the movie if we haven't seen it and its only rated r. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anomaly Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 [quote name='franciscanheart' timestamp='1342628906' post='2456758'] I'm going to direct you back to the start of the thread. The answer will be found somewhere between the first post and this one. [/quote]Oh, I'm well aware of 'that answer'. I just wanted to post that Channing Tatum followed my footsteps and went to the same Catholic High School that I did, here in Tampa. Though it's interesting to read posts from Ed that look like they're from FP when he becomes 52. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not been given any x-rating. It's rated R. There's a difference, to be sure, but I never stated or implied that it should be or could be viewed in good conscience because of its rating.)

No one endorsed it, but if women didn't care about the visual the movie would've been a total flop. Or they wouldn't have bothered making it in the first place.

Norseman82 Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 The USCCB/CNS movie review rates it as "O" (morally offensive): [url="http://www.catholicnews.com/data/movies/12mv073.htm"]http://www.catholicnews.com/data/movies/12mv073.htm[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
