Gratuitous mention of a certain other religion


If this is a film about Catholicism, why was there a need to throw in mention of a certain other religion? What a disappointment! It ruined the overall vibe of the film for me. I would've given this film a higher rating, had it not been for that.

What other religion and why do you call it other rather than the actual name?

You can't be serious. This took place in Poland after the war and you dislike the fact that Jewish people still existed? What kind of monster are you?

reply

Get over your tiny mind. Other religions exist, including Judaism and (gasp) Jewish people.

Really? I thought the movie was about how a communist nurse and a Jewish doctor protected and cared for the Catholic nuns in a wonderful expression of common humanity at the time of racial and religious hate. Even the Mother Superior, who was at first horrified that a Jewish man was in her convent, learned to except and be grateful for him.

If you are so racist and bigoted that the mere existence of a Jew in a movie in a time and place where there had been a large population ruined the movie for you, then you are not too interested in the ideas of common humanity, and that good people can transcend the hatred that surrounds them.

And I am free to find that attitude disgusting.

Be who you are. Everyone else is already taken.

Mention of a certain other religion in a film about the Second World War??! Appalling! Those dastardly members of a certain other religion are at it again. 

Just because I stumble down the road like a drunk, that doesn't mean it's the wrong one.

I thought the Russians (as they were portrayed)ruined the "vibe" of the movie. Silly me I wasn't watching out for that Jewish doctor to ruin it.

Your post makes no sense.
