the southern white crap that talks back |

Sunday, January 19, 2003 Wasn't going to blog today, but this story had to be pointed out.
Mel, you needn't flatter yourself that these people hate you personally. You're right, people do get hangups when their Lord and Saviour gets put up on the screen, but they don't get these hangups just because YOU're doing it. Martin Scorsese's Last Temptation of Christ attracted protests left right and centre and is still banned in some countries. Other countries, including the UK, used to ban all screen depictions of the anointed one. I saw a documentary once about Jesus films which had a clip from a mid-1930s French film called Golgotha where you heard the man's voice but never saw him because he wasn't allowed to be shown on screen there even then. Shit, just about any treatment of him in any form, let alone film, is liable to piss someone off. It's not just YOU, Gibbo. Thanks to Adam for the link (I've finally added him properly to the blogroll)... |
