I saw some people on the news debating about the movie cuz it supposedly bashes God, but after seeing the movie, I have absolutely no idea what the hell they are talking about.iCheeze;331039 said:I really dont know what to do..I want to go see it but Bashing god? I mean, Who Can kill Chuck norris? Seriously xD. It does look awesome though.
Offtopic: Milk bro? Are you Elias or whatever...
I suppose the magistarium (or whatever the hell it was called) could be seen as a metaphor for the Church in real life, but it never talks about God or church in the movie, so if they are offended by it, then that's only because THEY are the ones making that connection, so if that's the case, doesn't that reflect badly on THEM since they are RELATING to it?
I'm putting the following in spoiler tags even though it is not really a spoiler IMO since you learn it very early on in the movie and it is a basic element to the plot/journey:
Even if you use that metaphor, it doesn't really even work. In the movie, "dust" is the sort of metaphysical force and the magistarium are the ones trying to keep people from seeing it/knowing about it, so although the tactic could be argued by some as the same (not wanting people to see certain things like some people claim the Church has done in real life), the goals are opposites when you think about it (trying to get people to not see a fabled source instead of getting them to see it).
So, even if they did include that in and intend it to be a metaphor for what they think the Church does, wouldn't that be people bashing instead of God bashing? I mean, King Arthur and The Fountain both had examples of people killing in the name of the Church during their radical/fanatic-type medieval days (Inquisition/Crusades type stuff), but I didn't hear anyone complaining about those movies.
