"What the MPAA said is that the movie contained strong 'thematic elements' that might disturb some parents," said Kris Fuhr, vice president for marketing at Provident Films, which is owned by Sony Pictures. Provident plans to open the film next fall in 380 theaters nationwide with the help of Samuel Goldwyn Films, which has worked with indie movies like "The Squid and the Whale."
Which "thematic elements" earned this squeaky-clean movie its PG?
"Facing the Giants" is too evangelistic.
The MPAA, noted Fuhr, tends to offer cryptic explanations for its ratings. In this case, she was told that it "decided that the movie was heavily laden with messages from one religion and that this might offend people from other religions. It's important that they used the word 'proselytizing' when they talked about giving this movie a PG. ...
"It is kind of interesting that faith has joined that list of deadly sins that the MPAA board wants to warn parents to worry about."
You see the problem with many very religious people is that they cannot understand how somebody might be offended by their beliefs.
Not everybody believes in the same things that you do!
And why wouldn't a parent steer their children away from a belief system that threatens their children with eternal damnation if they do not accept their point of view? It is a religion based on fear.
