NATIVITY: New Nonsense Nears

NATIVITY: New Nonsense Nears May 15, 2006


A while back I mentioned this film. Here’s (sort of) an update:

The FilmForce reviewer—who mentions a Catholic upbringing—praises the script as “a reverent recounting of the biblical story that also added an insightful socio-political dimension to the world Mary would have been brought up in.” He calls it “respectful enough of the Gospels so as to not alarm the faithful, while also being broad enough thematically in order to appeal to a wider demographic. In other words, you shouldn’t expect Nativity to spark any Passion-ate firestorms.”

Perhaps I’m being hyper-crytical, but this kind of thing just gives me the willies. True, like The Da Vinci Code, such movies allow Christians opportunities to witness to the Truth.

What’s Hollywood trying to do? Wear us out?

I mean, really … how’m I s’posed to explain Forrest Gump in a mullet?
