TOPIC: Evan Almighty and the Left

Created by: joeodd2 Original Starting post for this thread:
Ok I think I have found a new thing with looking at the politics in and surrounding Hollywood movies. Evan Almighty is a good example of what kind of films drive Liberals ape shit. It's a "Christian" themed "clean" family comedy. I think there was one Penis joke in the film, that's about as X rated as this film gets. They even had the nerve to reference the "Bible" in the movie, so you know it was going to get flamed by the Critics. I find the critics reactions to this movie almost as funny as the movie itself. I would highly recommend this film to anyone who is looking for a family film with a real moral. When I see the Dems try to act all spiritual and pretend to be a party with "Christian" values, I look at the general reaction from the Left concerning films that have "Christian" undertones, such as "The Incredible" and "Evan Almighty". It's kind of sad that the Left won't embrace any film remotely Christian unless it's a satire of Christianity or involves Gay Marriage. Read some of the reviews of the movie then go see it, tell me what you think.

And I always thought CNN was a left wing news organization, but since a "straight shooter" nnon-partison centrist like JNM says that it's ok........who can argue? I'm sure Moore presented a "fair and balanced" portrayal of heath care, after all he has high standards to live up to winning the Canns film festival's award for best documentary for that hard hitting expose' "fareinheight 9/11". CNN and Micheal Moore, fair and honest reputations.....like a rock!

Anyone other than me see the movie yet, or are you so hate filled for Moore that you get all of the information you need from" Moorewatch"?" ----------------------------------------------------------------- Was this an imaginary audience or were you invited to a closed screening? I ask' because as you chastise people for not seeing this movie, the general public simply put cannot. It has not started yet, as it's national release day across the U.S. is not until this Friday, 29 June. ....and as I have written in a previous post, I have seen Moore's other work (which IMHO is a joke) and will see this as well. People are rightfully suspicious of Moore and even your beloved CNN has criticized Moore's biased slant against HMOs and medical system in the U.S.

The other was "The House of A Thousand Corpses", which earned the standing O just for ending.............I think I even heard an Atheist say "Oh thank God!" when it was over.........from what I can tell everyone was pleasantly surprised with Evan Almighty.

User Details are only visible to members.	I was using this movie to comment about the general attitude from the Left Wing Media regarding any film that respects "Christianity". It really is amazing how the Movie Critics in this country, who largely identify themselves to be Liberals, miss the message of the movie entirely. You should check it out, it's not preachy or watered down, it strike the right cord that resonates with a broad range of people. I remember the same kind of response to "the incredibles", especially in Europe. I like sex, violence, and general mayhem as much as the next guy, but come on? When there is a movie with a good message, which happens to come from the Bible, why tear it down? It doesn't surprise me that those who are more on the Left side of politics or are anti-religion would not see this or care. I just read the user reviews and the critic reviews and I LMAO. I wouldn't expect Evan Almighty to be nominated as family movie of the year, but I think that it may do some pretty decent DVD sales. I find that movies can tell you several things about the maker and some of the actors if you pay attention to the details, that's why a started a thread on "Shooter" which does take jabs at 9/11, the Kennedy assignation, the Iraq war, even the U.S not being a member of "the World Court". The politics are in our movies, most either don't notice it or chose to ignore it, which may be a blessing in and of itself.

Personal growth doesn't just involve your penis ya know, maybe you should start by recognizing that you don't know everything and then look to learn something new about yourself..........then again.........nah never mind.......
