crusader1234 Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 Heres an interesting idea, everyone here who saw the movie and therefore is able to accurately criticize it should post that at the beginning of their messages. Those who have not seen it should not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aloysius Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 perhaps it's because i see myself as one of the charecters: the boyfriend. you know, one of those people they should've "just accepted for who he is" and stuff... yeah. not that the girlfriend had the right methods, but accepting him for who he is isn't gonna help anything just make things worse. one question to you, everyone accepts that they're makin fun of hypocritical Christians, right? does anyone believe they're doing it charitably? pAx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crusader1234 Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 We accept you, dont we? I dont think that makes things worse, however if you were participating in the act and we supported that then that would make things worse. In any event, I'd also like t know abuot how Charitable it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
point5 Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 yes I think it is done charitably. To point out wrongs such as hypocritical actions can cause people to reexamine their faith and what they really stand for, and how they appear to others in portraying their beliefs.

nikkan_hanil Posted June 24, 2004 Share Posted June 24, 2004 Well the sole thing I'm focusing on is not just the movie but the producer's intentions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Huether Posted June 28, 2004 Share Posted June 28, 2004 I'm just goin' to guard my own soul and not see a movie that could potentially damage me or others. There are plenty of other movies that are less "controversial", in which I can satisfy my desire to have fun watching a movie.. I don't need to see a movie in order to know that it's bad. As far as I'm concerned, a movie is bad when I have to debate over whether it's bad or not. LOL. That's just me though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oik Posted June 29, 2004 Share Posted June 29, 2004 Although i'd like to say I will see the movie, chances are, i won't. I am just here to critique the notion of no experience, no opinion. It's ludicris. If the movie mocks christianity, then is mocks me, because I am a christian. Sure, i'm catholic, but my brother is my brother whether he is muslim, jewish, mormon, baptist, etc. I grew up in "the south." I thank God for my persecutions and debates, but I refuse to mock "fundemental" christians. If this movie does that, it isn't worth the time or the money. All the people I work with deal with gossip, backbiting, backstabbing, slander, and rumoring. These things hurt people. They stab them at the core. If this is what this movie does, then it is worthless. However, i'll have to really on what other people have said about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Someguynamedmatt Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 i haven't seen the movie yet but i definitely will. i am very skeptical when people criticize movies for being offensive, especially if they're comedies. maybe i have more of a sense of humor than most but satire just doesn't usually offend me, even if it opposes my beliefs.

DancesforLove Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 Yeah I agree, I mean it's just a movie. Unless it is a cause I just can't give money too I don't care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has religious stereotypes because some people are too blind to see past them. It has implied sex because that's the story (if the sex was any more implied you wouldn't even know what was going on). And regular life has so much cussing and off color jokes that any in the movie are tame by comparrison. The film is about a family that is way passed messed up and the fact that the can see beyond imperfections and love each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DancesforLove Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 Thank you Track! I agree with you. I myself do care what goes into my eyeballs. I also find it funny that people have not even seen the movie feel the need to criticize people who have. If you have not seen the movie then you should not say things about it when in it when in fact you don't know what is in that movie. And you said your 17, not even an adult, this movie was rated PG-13 not R. The movie did not have gratituous sexuality in it, it had sexual content that was truthful. The movie was dealing with issues with teenagers and sexual content is the biggest issue at the moment. People talk about the movie like it was glorifying "innapropriate content" and it was not. I suggest seeing the movie before you decide to judge someone who has. Then again thats just my opinion so take it for whats it worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
