Great movie - Ignore the Activists

Rating: 10/10 (20 May 2006)

If you see this movie, you'll enjoy it. Strong characters, great effects, interesting premise. It is _just a movie_ so ignore the activist critics. You'll be glad you did.
The only people likely to be offended by the movie are people who have a very, very rigid view of chrisitianity. It doesn't talk about Christ's message or his work -- just what some people (fictional people) believe about his "family life".
Most christians, who understand that Christ's message can be found in the gospels, will just find the history and art in the movie interesting. Christ's message to love one's enemies and love one's neighbors and to love god are addressed in the movie. His "divinity" is touched upon . . . did he marry. Did he have a child. Does it matter? We are all children of God. We are all made divine when we decide to follow Christ's instructions to love our neighbors, love our enemies, love God. We are reborn.
In any case, go see the movie. It's cool.
