I can tell you one thing, the remake certainly had more overtly positive depictions of Christianity in there than the 1991 version did in the form of Pere Robert (who took the place of the bookkeeper in the original). Name me one instance of Christianity actually being depicted as good in the 1991 version. I can’t, especially when the villagers were demonized, AND they pretty clearly depicted them as devout Christians based on the failed wedding scene and some of the lyrics in the opening and mob songs. To be honest, I’m surprised Emma Watson actually bothered to reflect reality and history in that situation where Christianity actually DOES endorse literacy in women. And BTW, this is speaking as someone who absolutely refuses to go to the 2017 remake precisely BECAUSE of Disney’s idiocy of hyping up homosexuality in it. Hope Iger gets fired in the future.
As I mentioned- I will not go to a church that preaches the gospel- but throws in an occasional support for filth and abominations- While I suppose including Christianity in a positive light will at the very least expose some unsaved movie goers to Christianity- I choose not to subject myself to, nor support financially, such shows - Yes- the Spirit listeth where it will- and yes- God can even save folks in churches that endorse abominations- But as someone who takes my faith seriously for the most part- I’ll choose churches that don’t do such things because it’s ‘unlikely’ that such churches will reach the masses for Christ, and they are more about being propagandists for immorality than they are about preaching the uncompromising, unchanging word of God- and while a movie might expose some people to Christianity in a positive light- including immorality and endorsing an abominable sexual deviancy even covertly, undermines the whole premise-
While it’s true that many movies today include such stuff- it’s also true that I can change the channel when stuff like that comes to my attention- and yes, maybe I do watch things that slip by without my realizing it- but again- wen brought to my attention- I choose to not watch- I’m not perfect- and Yes, I make plenty of bad choices myself- however, on some issues like the integration of homosexual themes into movies, school material, etc- I view it as a direct blatant war against God- even if such material does include ‘Christian themes’ as well- Many anti-Christian organizations hide behind the ‘religious themes’ in an effort to sneak in their homosexual or deviant sexual agenda- I don’t even care to watch a movie with heterosexual immorality - just don’t need that kind of nonsense- too many great shows to watch instead that don’t have that kind of junk it in-
