Secondly, even though I would not have others banned from seeing this film, I must discourage them. The cinema opens our souls like almost no other art form. In some way, human beings feel that to watch acts of whatever type is to participate in them in some way, to come dangerously close to committing the act itself. The veterans of war know this too well. Our memories capture images, and they may never fade away.
Christians know the fragility and vulnerability of the inner human only too well.
While allowing a choice for adults to view this film, we can also urge them to choose not to. Thirdly, as was all too evident at this special preview screening, sixties-style liberalism is a hypocritical and condescending ideology. Of course not - and neither should they. We are all absolutists, and we all believe in censorship, ultimately. But liberals try to conceal their absolutism with an appeal to these golden principles of the Enlightenment.
