I'm curious as to why no one attacks Christianity via film. I'm not trying to rub resident Christians the wrong way, but there is a lot of angst in this world. I'm not seeing it. There was foo over the Golden Compass and its meaning, but what I'm seeking is something that's more "in your face."
No institution has been safe from screenwriters, directors, even the actors themselves, to parody, mock, bash, harange, and utterly protest on the big screen and the glittery glamoury or the amazing silzer screen (distinguish made to represent small films and indie films -low budget v. major films and "blockbusters"- mega budget), except Christianity.
Why no action films where the US is run by militant Christians? Why no films set in the Inquisition about people getting out of a sticky situation? If you're going to degrade other religions (see that godawful Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom) let's put some smut about Christians.
Why is this a topic never breached in the film industry unless "the Church(s)" (Catholic or Prostant) maintains good guy status?
