Troy -- Is it okay?

[Mac6yver]

Anyone who is over 18 and would allow their prudeness from seeing a well made film is cutting off their nose... Sex happens every day, it is happening right now, as you are reading this. If people were simply more mature regarding the matter, it would not be such a big deal. If you do not believe in sex before marriage, thats fine, but watching a film where two people are having sex is not going to steal your virginity.

what goes in comes out... simple as that.

 

[Mac6yver]

So you are saying that you are not in control of yourself...

 

[Roo6339]

i am, but i don't wanna risk the chances... it's like music... the more you hear swearing and all that, the more you become used to it... and it eventually finds its way to your mouth without you noticing.

 

[Mac6yver]

Well, if you are that easily influenced then perhaps you should not see this movie. Who knows what you might do after the movie, you could try to invade a foreign land, or even start wearing body armor.

I'll see it for the subject matter.

"Rage Goddess. Sing the rage of Peleus' brilliant son Achilles."

You will know that Brad Pitt "Troy" .....is going to die. .

Thanks for blowing the cinematic experience for me......

As far as love scenes, sex scenes - they can be done tastefully where the act is portrayed as a sacred act, or just to be provocative. I don't mind them if they are done artfully with taste. Sex is a gift from our Creator.

I hope the movie is good, I don't go to often and enjoy historical epics, and Brad Aniston.. I mean PITT!

 

[I'mHis]

I agree ridesawhitehorse. (BTW I love your avatar!) Also, I don't see why there is arguing going on in here. Whether someone sees it or not is their choice, and no one needs to be put down if they decide not to see it. Anyway, I am looking forward to seeing it. I like Orlando Bloom more than Brad Pitt. *hides from all Brad Pitt fans throwing rotten fruit*

look mate, let's put it this way. would you be happy to take Jesus to see this movie with you? if not... don't see it. sure i've made my mistakes, i'm just trying not too do that again.

 

[Mac6yver]

I would take Jesus to it. No problem, we would have to sit in the back though, so that we could throw popcorn at people.

Some of us like to keep the highest moral standards that we possibly can. We slip up enough when we're not trying to; we don't need to help the process along! That stuff does go to your head, whether you will it to or not. You know the people that say, "Oh, TV doesn't affect people"? They're out to lunch. Don't tell me you didn't come out of Pirates of the Caribbean feeling like a conquering hero.

We go see the good movies because isn't there enough evil and garbage in the world that you already have to wade through on a day-to-day basis? Movies are supposed to be an escape, not a deeper embroilment!

Hey, even at the good movies, I'm sure Jesus will be more than happy to sit in the back with you and throw popcorn at people.

 

[I'mHis]

lol I can see Jesus throwing popcorn.

 

[Jazzcat]

I know, me too!!! LOL

cool, that's your choice. are we square?

 

[Patdoggydogg]

Uh, I think it has a quite graphic "love scene." I would say it's definitely not Christian friendly. It's rated R for a reason.

Its rated R not cuz of the love scenes..but because its about one of the biggest wars in history.
I saw go see this movie, great part of history...im going to see it fosho

 

[I'mHis]

^Me too. I think the R is for the violence involved. That I can handle.

 

[womendon'tbesilent]

I have seen the movie and it is very good, and VERY bloody just like the original story. Those people way back must have had a rather primitive nervous system. There is something about this story that, just like the Lord of the Rings, is keenly applicable today. There is something in us humans that longs to live passionately and completely for something greater than ourselves and this is what people do in war. But that drive can destroy us at the same time. It's like a hypnotizing madness because it makes us feel very alive.

 

[InnerPhyre]

US Conference of Catholic Bishops rated it as Adult, which means it's mid-range as far as content goes, but they didn't list it as morally offensive. Sounds like game on to me.

 

[Mac6yver]

cool, that's your choice. are we square?

We never were anything but square.


Anyways, I find it ironic that extreme violence is ok, but sex is not to some of you...

heheh, I came in here to post the same thing. I'll never understand why so many Christians have no problem at all with seeing hundreds of people die on screen, not to mention all the gore, blood, and guts. but a few shots of passionate kissing? a glimpse of nudity? "oh my eyes! let's all boycott this movie, it's so evil!!!". give me a break. can't we all be mature about this? just don't take the kids, people (and don't take them to see extreme violence either).

I, for one, am looking forward to seeing "Troy", even though I'm not really a fan of Brad *ducking tomatoes*. Orlando on the other hand....
