The Village is Religion

Rating: 7/10 (5 February 2005)

Doesn't anyone recognize that this movie is a commentary on religion?! Come on people! An elaborate fabrication told and retold in order to "protect" people from their own evil nature? Discussion of the lie is strictly forbidden in order for it to propagate, religion looks down on those who question their faith, etc. I can't believe right wingers aren't ranting against this. Noah? You folks can't see the connections?!
I completely agree with Shyamalan, but he is going too easy on the religious folk. He's likely after the big bucks and doesn't want to bite the hand that feeds him. I am intolerant of religious beliefs, as I am with most nonsense and childish thinking. Religion doesn't or shouldn't automatically get a pass that we would never provide other sets of beliefs (e.g., fascism, Sharia law, chiropractic, osteopathy, Santa Claus, and the Tooth fairy). Why doesn't Shyamalan stand up and talk about his intent?!
