If you are a non-chilled Christian you won't enjoy as very anti-christian which is film makers thrill.
I am gonna wait 6 months for it to be on Sky pay to view as it is cheaper.

Enchanted is fucking crap. *My* excuse is that I have a six year old who wanted to see it. The CG animals were great, but it's a sad day when a virtual chipmunk is the best actor on the screen.
I am keen on the golden compass though. Mostly because of how upset religious groups are over it.

Signature needed. Apply within.
I personally wouldn't waste my money.
Pullman's antagonism toward religion appears to be focused upon Christianity in particular. He is quoted as saying "I suppose technically, you'd have to put me down as an agnostic. But if there is a God, and he is as the Christians describe him, then he deserves to be put down and rebelled against."
So what is a "non-chilled Christian"? One that has made an commitment to be uncommitted? God is very clear on the matter that it is in fact those that rebel against Him that will be the ones being "put down". I can't say I'd want to live out my short life only to find out I was against God when at that very moment being for Him would have made all the difference.
Free Will is one of the greatest gifts - it means each of us are free to choose to be for or against God. We are not free however from the consequences of that choice.
Free Willy is a whale.
I am for God, however, I just take a more chilled approach to life and don't get too bothered about things like this film. Jesus was the Son of God and he got rapted by others for mixing with non-believers...he showed us his human side and God is an understandingwith ................we only need to have God in our hearts and on our lips.
I have a laugh on this site, watch non-Christian films, mix with non believers, God understands.
A close friend of mine watched the movie. She just read too much into it and came back ranting etc. That's fine, however, at the end of the day it was only a film...........
Isn't it about time this got moved to PD so we don't have to see the god shit?
It's only when you take the piss out of a partially shaved wookie with an overactive 'me' gene and stapled on piss flaps that it becomes a problem.
FFS - there is no anti god message in that movie - its a story... There is a pro freedom of choice message which I believe 'god' is very big on. The church less so..
I constantly wonder at the smallness of people and their desire to ruin the brightness in everything - perhaps evil does live in the hearts of some?
saw it a few days ago. its a mint movie. well done and leaves you wanting the next one asap.

I guess that'd be you then.
I've always felt that there's not really much point bringing the subject up. Religious sorts always say the same things, and irreligious sorts always say the same things, and they're both talking at complete cross-purposes to each other.
You'll never convince a religious man that his concept of God exists only inside his own mind, and you'll never convince an irreligious man that God exists outside of anyone's mind. There's simply no leverage in either direction, no common ground to argue from, when comparing one such postulate with another.
Anyway, we already have a thread devoted to the subject, and it's a generally-accepted polite convention on KB that religious discussion is limited thereto.

Hmm. Funnily enough, I saw it this afternoon this my two nephews and my niece (4, 12 and 14, all enjoyed it if this helps).
I absolutely loved the design and art direction- but have to say that having read the book, the scripting was a disappointment. The book is far darker than the film, and a real opportunity was missed in the desire to chase American box office sales. The ending was in the wrong place, too!
Still, for all that it's a beautiful film even though it could have been better and more meaningful.
Now: the religious issue. I am not certain that a criticism of religious Establishment is quite the same as a criticism of religious views per se.
The Inquisition would be a good historical example of the 'Church' engaging in policies not necessarily in line with Christian teaching as we might recognise it.
Were they religious people, or were they simply entering politics through a different and more ornate door?
Right. Was going to write a lot of guff about the 'parallel universe' plot and stuff, but I'm tired and rambling more than usual, so I'll spare you and go to bed.
