The facts stated about Jim Caviezel are just that - facts.

He's a crazy conspiracy theorist who lives in a fantasy world.

Absolutely nothing to do with "opinion".

And, the movie isn't banned.

Oh i already hammered you on this absolutely ridiculous point. I see you learned nothing.

So listen: this film does not represent the actual child trafficking brutality, more a FICTIONALISED version of events that EXPERTS IN THE FIELD say serves only to misrepresent the actual issue and cause actual harm not only to the children at risk and suffering, but also the survivors of child sex trafficking.

Did you know, for instance, that most children trafficked know and trust their traffickers? Did you know that most are teens? Do you know that there is an overwhelmingly high percentage of LGBTQ+ kids spurned by their families and sold into the sex trade? Did you know that in the US, a considerable percentage of trafficked kids attend school at least a couple of times a week?

What do you know about child sex trafficking, Belgarion, that you feel so free to say that other posters are "tacitly approving" child sex crimes because they're sceptical of a highly dubious movie?

Is it just because the movie suits your agenda?

Or are you simply a partisan prick?

I further contend that the fact that you know so little about the actuality of child trafficking that you are emboldened enough by a movie you've yet to see, simply because it a piece of god-bothering, right wing propaganda makes you the very real fiend in all of this. You and all those like you ... with your "look over there" bullshit.

Frank shoots the messenger, because he's a Muslim, and then completely disregards the facts that were presented ("No Muslim is gonna lecture to me").

And, he'll probably still carry on like a pathetic little Karen and say the film is banned even though I've provided proof directly from the distributor which shows it is not banned.

If not for bullshit, these people would have nothing to offer.

That's because QAnon and the loony religious right have hitched their wagon to it.

I reality, it is just another hero trope Hollywood movie, not even a very good one, if the critics are to be believed. But ask this lot ... they'll tell you the critics are all in on it.

It's a poor person's Taken ... but unlike the former, it's pretending to actually mean something.

mothra wrote on Jul 26^th, 2023 at 7:24am:


Indeed.

The lead actor is legitimately crazy, and promotes very dangerous conspiracy theories which are complete & utter bullshit.

I suspect this is why Frank is so looking forward to seeing it.

Exploiting trafficked children is clever?

Sadly, i suppose it is. Well, not overly clever. It only needs to fool idiots.

freediver wrote on Jul 26^th, 2023 at 7:29am:


To a degree, yes.  But not all that clever.

And Jim Caviezel has been crazy for quite some time.

To give you an insight into what sort of people this movie attracts, Donald Trump is hosting a screening at one of his second-rate golf courses (which hires - and under pays - undocumented immigrants).

I wonder if Matt Gaetz - currently being investigated by fellow Republicans for child sex trafficking - will attend.

They have made about US$100 million in profit by drawing people like you into the "controversy" about the political message and accuracy of a low budget action movie. They might even get another $10 because someone here goes to see it to figure out what on earth you are complaining about.
