|    Is Allen an anti-Christian bigot?    |

      From: chucksi@hotmail.com              I remember one of Allen's movies, it might have been 'Radio       Days', where he and his leading lady are being chased by bad       guys. The run into a church by a door leading to the area behind       the altar, and end up in the aisle of the church.              They have lost the bad guys, and are talking about whatever it       is. The scene shows the LL on the left, and Allen on the right,       with the altar in the background, out of focus. Above the altar       is a large cross.              Allen says to the LL, speaking of the bad guys, that they they       represent something inferior. To emphasize his point, he       gestures with his thumb back toward the direction from which       they came, which is, in this shot, the altar and the cross.              You would have to be unconscious not to see that this was a not-       so-subtle insult to Christianity.              Apparently, Allen thought that the goyim who paid money to see       the movie would be too stupid to notice, or too afraid to       complain, lest they be accused of 'antisemitism'. And he was       right, as far as I can tell; I don't recall any complaints about       that scene, or about any other anti-Christian sleaze in his       films.              Have you Woody Allen fans noticed this sort of hatred and       contempt of Christianity in his films? If you have, and I don't       see how you could miss it, what do you think of it?              It seems to me that an aspring PhD could work up a decent thesis       along the lines of: Anti-Christian Bigotry as Exemplified In The       Films Of Woody Allen.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
