First of all I’m not Christian, second of all this film has no political overtones whatsoever and doesn’t reflect any political beliefs on the part of its viewers. It has no bearing on my belief in low taxes and the prosperity of Western Culture. I merely think it’s intriguing cinema - and not sufficiently dramatic to ever have a mass audience - not was it made for a mass audience. It’s an adaptation of a novel that Greek students read in High school. I also like ‘Life of Brian’ and ‘Jesus Christ Superstar’ btw which were also protested by people who never saw them. Conservatism still in tact.

LOL, no kidding, this left-wing, anti-Christian propaganda, pro-lefty Hollywood obsession of yours shows up in your posting history.

Thank God that your adored movie flopped, America, and especially Christians despised it, but you anti-Christian, bigoted, lefty people, adored it's portrayal of Christ, it is something that you guys can cling to.

Luckily your boat has sailed and the evidence is in, the movie sucked, and flopped.

Yeah anyone who likes movies must be an anti-Christian lefty! I’m through with this exchange.

Anyone who is so devoted to the lefty, anti-Christian film Temptation, and who has a history of doing the same with other lefty, anti-Christian films, and who didn’t even notice the liberal agenda of Ebert, is indeed an anti-Christian lefty.

I’m glad that the public and Christians all pretty much agreed on the crummy, agenda driven film made for bigots, and that it’s worldwide take didn’t even reach 8.4 million.

‘Siskel and Ebert’ was very popular with all sorts of people. Do you think Siskel was a lefty as well? He certainly was politically as most people in Chicago knew but that never really came up in his writing. Same with Ebert before the 2000s. I like a lot of films that have nothing to do with my politics. As I’ve mentioned earlier, with the exception of POTC, films about Biblical figures have not been audience draws since the early 1960s. It still haven’t changed.

Welcome back, the answer is yes, that is why those of us who were conservatives were mocking them well before 2000.

Look, you have your own personal liberal leanings and bigotry, and you like that Hollywood reflects those in their movies, and related industries, like print media and reviews, I get it, but your obsession with your personal tastes isn’t very interesting.

You have already said it enough times, you share the liberal view on Ebert and Temptation, I got it, I heard you the first time, and the tenth time.

If you want to color every aspect of human experience with political intent that’s fine. It’s what the Leftists due actually do. I don’t.

This is like a comedy skit, you really don’t know that Hollywood and their agenda driven movie making is famously known as political?

Movie making is just about the most lefty, anti-Christian industry in America.

You could say the same thing about the publishing and music industries. I still read and listen to music. Not everything is political.
