Apparently killing those different from us by blowing ourselves up alongside intentional Jesus Christ/martyr imagery is "heroic"...
Personally, I find that message as offensive as a Christian would find the message: "God doesn't exist and the church lies to you." Quote: |
i defiantly agree. after the girl and little boy showed up it really took away. and it may be a bit twisted but i lvoe horror and the thought of isolation and being the last. i love situations that cant be controlled. and i lvoe movies where there is no resolution and this movie was defiantly all that.
| Im different, as i love movies with a sappy ending. I hate movies with no ending or solution. Too depressing, I like to feel uplifted at the end.
And yet, the church has done everything in their power to ensure that films like that are maligned and churchgoers are warned while those of us who are athiests or non-Christians walk into crap this this and get whacked upside the head with bibles.
No thanks.
I'm not annoyed by the content as much as I am the gross double-standard in our society toward differing faiths and belief systems that it illustrates.
And I find the ending's COMPLETE reversal of the the entire point of the original novel disturbing. |
Yeah but it always seems that atheist and other religions are the ones always complaining and whining. If i went and saw a movie with budist or jewish undertones it wouldn't bother or ruin the film for me. I'm open to all religions and just because it was shown or sold as their religion is a right way to go wouldn't bother me. I love to see other religions take on things. What are we suppose to do have no religious under tones in a movie. I bet the atheist would love that.
ALso i wouldn't call the Zombies just "different from us". I don't see anything that shouldn't be existing as normal. I would compare them to rabbit dogs that need to be put down. When they became zombies they lost all of their humanity.Though curing them would have been a better route.
PS:Before you ask, I see gays as normal and should be existing. No i wouldn't have them put down. lol

I hate movies like that, as im a sucker for happy endings. I hate movies with no ending or ones that have no resolution. I like to be uplifted at the end.
