Thanks for the anti-Christian bigotry.
#Villian's weapon is a rosary with an obvious cross; whereby he regularly chokes people.
#Jane (M.Robbie)-implies to the villian that he is a victim of a priest paedophile bc he received his rosary (weapon) from him as a 9 yr old child.
LMAO what a retarded thread
shareBut the villain was Jewish.
shareYou're causing more "bigotry" than the movie with your christian whining.
And it's not so unlikely that a boy who grows up religious will get raped by a priest, it's pretty common. so they are just stating facts it's not like they are slandering or anything. think of it as a public service announcement, people need to be careful and make sure that if you're taking your underage child to a church he or she (mostly he) should carry a pepper spray at all times.
Evidently you do not know what a fact is. You have not stated any facts.
How amusing that you atheist scum act as if we're thin skinned for pointing out the obvious. Yes, you hate Christians and want them all to die, and yes, Hollywood hates Christians and trashes them at every turn.
Even though Muslims are killing Christians, Jews, gays, other Muslims and atheists as I type this, you constantly bring up stuff that happened centuries ago, and have the gall to hold every Christian accountable.
So by that logic I can hold the Democrats responsible for the crimes committed by the KKK. After all, that vile organization was founded by a Democrat. Or, I can hold all Muslims responsible for 9/11. After all, that act of terror was committed by Muslims in the name of their God. According to atheist logic, anyone calling themselves a Muslim is tacitly endorsing and approving of all terrorist acts committed by other Muslims, right?
Nothing in this world is more conformist than bashing Christians. The worst that will happen to you is some Christian complaining about it.
Draw a picture of Mohammed and you get your damn head cut off. But Christians are the worst people in the world. You people are insane.
Science forbids! I don't want them to die! where is all this hatred coming from? I just want them to get the help they need like any other person who suffers from a mental illness.
When did I bring up stuff that happened centuries ago? priests are still raping kids today, and the church was covering it up right up until they got caught, not so long ago. those ARE facts, you are more than welcome to do some research about it.
then you went on your little rant there, which I don't really have nothing to add because it has absolutely nothing to do with what I said.
I just hope you are seeing someone because it seems like you genuinely could use some help. hope you get better soon, I'll pray for you ;P
Or, I can hold all Muslims responsible for 9/11.Perhaps the holier-than-all Reagan administration could be blamed for fully supporting (and responding most tumescently towards) the nascent Taliban in their jihad against the "evil empire". Kill A Commie For Mommy!
Nothing in this world is more conformist than bashing Christians.Damn! Even after 2000 years, J.C. is still the underdog!
But Christians are the worst people in the world. You people are insane.Bless you for your "christian" charity... share
Actually I'd say they were pretty gentle on the anti-Catholic angle. The Congo was exploited by a trinity of King-Church-Capital working together to pacify and control the people. To say that the role of Christian religion in this time in the Congo was anything more than a tool to eradicate local culture, and that the Church was not perfectly happy with that role, requires a generosity to the local missionaries even less believable than the Lord Of The Apes.
What's more Burrough's wasn't terribly keen on Christianity so it's not like the writers of the movie have added this element.
ERB said: "Their enthusiasms and sincerity never ring true to me and I think that there has been no great change in them all down the ages, insofar as the fundamentals are concerned. There is just as much intolerance and hypocrisy as there ever was, and if any church were able to obtain political power today I believe that you would see all the tyranny and injustice and oppression which has marked the political ascendancy of the church in all times."
Um... Doesn't anyone recall that, in the movie, it is mentioned that Jane's father had been a missionary working in Africa?
That's why the chief of the African village could speak English, and why he considered Jane practically a second daughter.
Send her to the snakes!
I remember that they said he was a teacher but don't recall any mention of him as a missionary. In the books, Jane's father was an American Professor of anthropology who was doing scientific research in the Congo. He was visiting there, on one of his expeditions ,when Jane, who was engaged to be married, met Tarzan. They changed Jane's this background for the movie to account for their more fiesty tomboy like Jane who was far from the more ladylike version in the books or in previous movies.
shareCorrect. There was no mention at all in the movie that Jane's father was a missionary.
Jane herself mentions that her father taught English to the tribes people.
The only reference I have seen to her father possibly being a missionary was in one of the threads on this board but I cannot recall which one.
Someone had queried why Jane's father would be in Africa teaching English and the posted response was along the lines that during that time period the most likely explanation would be that Jane's father was a missionary there to convert the natives.
I assume the poster concerned was not familiar with the books and the back story for Jane and her father and the reason for their presence in Africa.
I have also been quite amused at those who have expressed skepticism that the Jane of the movie is too feisty and is too 'modern' a heroine for the time period concerned.
They fail to understand that there have always been strong, feisty, capable women in every time period who have managed to somehow defy the strict conventions of their time.
Recorded history is very much 'HIS' story with the achievements, accomplishments and in many cases the mere existence of these women airbrushed out of the record completely in order to perpetuate the illusion of male superiority.
Unpalatable truths are no less true.
Absolutely. According to HIStory and literarary presentations of males and females, males are superior and they are the doers.They act upon their world and make a difference by creating change and betterment or by creating chaos and destruction. Either way,they do it. Women are passive by standees who create one thing- his babies for him. They tend the hearth fires while he is busy acting upon his world. Forget about the fact that they have been scientists,inventors, writers, and warriors. While men go out and seek to destroy one another in yet another war,women keep civilization together ,build things and fight off threats to the homefront, Even in the books Jane was an American not an aristocrat and was used to going adventuring with her father,

You do realize that this film depicts Christians committing genocide in Africa as well as mentioning another genocide in America? But hey, I suppose using a cross to strangle people is the thing that makes Christians look bad! Wow.
shareChristians have caused some of the most heinous crimes against humanity ever. I don't think it's be used they are
Christians,however. They just happen to be Christians. Religion,for humankind is at best an excuse and at worst it an irrelevancy as far as world moving events go. It's in the smaller more mundane act of kindness and generosity made by common everyday people that Chistianity shines. As a mover and shaker of world events, man's greed and thirst for power is all too evident.
