Christian in Pirates of Carribean is blasphemy

[Birthew]

Hi, I've just seen the new pirates film. For some reason the main villain has a christian missionary as part of his crew/prisoner. During the film the christian falls in love with a mermaid. Now please could someone indicate where in the Bible it says inappropriate behavior with animals is allowed dependent on how much of a human the creature looks like. Thanks

I really hope your joking.

On the subject of the movie, No Kiera Knightley or ORlando Bloom = Me not going to watch it.

Mermaids, aren't they a myth?

Anyway, it's Hollywood - the land of unreality. Don't worry about it!

Personally, I'm waiting for Arnie's new Hollywood blockbuster - The Impregnator

Here I was thinking that was a major bonus to the new movie.

Kiera Knightley > Penelope Cruz anyday of the week.

Both are hot, both can act, but one is greater than the other in both categories.

It is a just a movie

If the worst thing they did was have the Christian fall in love...thats not too bad for hollywood...even if it was with a fishperson.

Same here. One of the reasons I'm giving it a chance.

Well, do they just fall in love, or have sex? Also, mermaids are fictional creatures. I don't see how that's blasphemous.

Well it might be a little off topic but there is that section that Talks about some "demons" breeding with humans...fromed some race of giants right?


and to think..Disney was going to band Keith Richards scene because he admitted he
used to do drugs.

I guess it's weird if you read too much into it. But the Christian character was principled AND brave; he stood against evil and he showed compassion to the imprisoned mermaid. Overall, I thought he wasn't too bad. But there will always be awkward implications when you insert a serious Christian character into a movie that has fantastical, mythological elements as a major part of the plot.

The "moral" conflict between the mairmaid and the preacher was interesting and at the same time "artificially" implicated. It tried to bring forth an outdated altruism with a modern sense of liberalism I thought. And that is not bad it was just strange... as I wonder if the mermaid was an ugly evil being would he have go the extra mile for her? It was a berlesk movie anyhow. So I think I forgive the twist as part of a fanstasy story.

Just saw this and its actually better then the first 3 films. Btw the missionary is not main villain (quite far from it). You remember a little feller named Blackbeard?

 

[CelticGrace]

The OP said the main villain (i.e. Blackbeard) had a missionary as part of his crew, not that the missionary was the main villain.


I had absolutely no problem with that side story and liked this movie infinitely more than the 2nd and 3rd. I agree with those that said Kiera and Orlando not being in it was a bonus, even though usually I can't stand Penelope Cruz. I think I like this one and the first one about equally.

No, do watch it! It's worth it! Penelope Cruz is as good as Kiera Knightley! Best film yet, in my honest opinion.
