I don’t see your point. That those critical bodies should just look at the box office results before making any decisions? Films about Biblical figures hadn’t done well at the Box Office since the early 1960s and still don’t (’Passion of the Christ’ was an exception).
My point was that the movie sucked and the left plays it up, that is why we can just hear about a movie being planned, and often guess that it will win awards, just by learning it’s agenda or politics before it is even made.
