Like so many others before, this film attempts to expose or exploit wrongs done in the name of religion. Thus, the unbridled hostility toward the Christian faith. Just like politics or business, the religious world has its citizens who strive for personal power at all costs. Christ teaches us to love God and love our fellow man. Indeed, His life was laid down for all mankind. Throughout the centuries, men and woman – motivated by this sacrifice – have followed that example in order to serve others. So seldom do we see films portray that sacrifice. Where are the films concerning Father Damien, who went to serve lepers until he become one himself? Where’s the Hollywood production concerning Dietrich Bonhoeffer who spoke up for those being persecuted and was executed himself by the Nazis? Many wrongs have been committed in the name of Christ, but those wrongs were done by people who never accepted our Lord’s teachings. To unite mankind, moviemakers have a responsibility to present examples of justice while exposing inequity. Otherwise, they are perpetuating evil by simply shifting the focus of prejudice.
