Because they’re not entertaining.[/quote]
Really?
Religious themed movies fill the highest grossing film list.[/quote]
Really?? What list is that?

I guess The Ten Commandments is on the list, or at least it used to be.
But he may be referring to the Star Wars movies (the Force) and Titanic (they had a great deal of faith that ship would never sink.)
And that remake of Fern Gully with the blue aliens had some life-force-tree/religious theme as well, as I recall, and the movie did very well.

That is what I thought. So, because there are good guys vs bad guys in movies it is religious themed? OK.
I mean Titanic (Faith) that would be a stretch.[/quote]
Haha, I was totally joking. The only movie that I mentioned that I would consider religious is The Ten Commandments. Stuff like Avatar, Star Wars, can certainly be said to have a mystical component to them, but I wouldn’t call them religious.

I knew you were joking I was replying to what BC reasoning was.
The Ten Commandments, The Passion of the Christ, Some Moses movie those are religious themed.
Saying Star Wars is because of the “Force” is reaching if that were the case every movie where someone makes a decision is religious themed due to free will.[/quote]
Star Wars has major mythological/religious components. George Lucas collaborated with Joseph Campbell.
Joseph Campbell - Wikipedia
“The National Air and Space Museum of the Smithsonian Institution sponsored an exhibit during the late 1990s called Star Wars: The Magic of Myth, which discussed the ways in which Campbell’s work shaped the Star Wars films.”
