OK, I'm going to stick my toe in on:
"(B) she really ought to go to Heaven because she's really a good person... well, it's not encouraging."

The problem with the (B) option - in my opinion anyway - is that from what I understand it is not deeds that get you into heaven, but belief in Jesus Christ Who saved us from our sins, by His sacrifice upon the cross.

So - since she is a Christian and believes in Jesus, she should be all set as far as heaven goes.

AS TO the movie - regardless of Mel's opinion on who all gets into heaven, hell, purgatory, or the void (not that his opinion really matters really) is irrelevant, if he stayed true to the New Testament (as well as that is possible).

As far as you state it, that is (A) correct and (B) exactly my point, about Gibson's being clueless on the Good News.

As to its bearing on the movie, maybe I'd be clearer if I compared it to a guy doing a movie on the life of Ronald Reagan, who said he believed that the best thing that could ever happen to a person is for the government to step in and take total control of his life.

You'd think, "Uh... I'm worried about what he's going to do with Reagan!"

See?

It's by no means a perfect analogy, but maybe that makes my concern clearer.
