Well most films or plays won’t be of the same stature as the KJB. But even something like E.T. is a Biblical allegory (E.T. being Jesus).

You know, I never got that. Maybe that's why ET was absolutely wasted on me. I never saw the point of it and I thought it was typical Hollywood clandestinely undermining faith in a higher being by substituting a kind of feel-good relativism.

I see this so many times in so many movies in which a very secular kind of salvation is substituted for a real kind that perhaps a gun shy.
