"This movie is illegal in Malaysia."

OK...we need to know why. What about the film do the Malaysian authorities object to specifically? Lee M 01:42, 12 Feb 2004 (UTC)

• In many Islamic countries, movies are banned if they depict prophets. Passion of the Christ was the exception to that rule CanadianCaesar 06:21, 17 August 2005 (UTC)

I recall hearing that PoE was going to be followed by other biblically-inspired movies if it was successful enough, which it wasn't. Does anyone have a reference for this? Wyvern 9 July 2005 08:05 (UTC)

Judaeo-Christian content seems to be an exception to Hollywood's tendency to cash in on things. The Passion of the Christ was controversial, but financially speaking it was hugely successful. However Hollywood has stuck by its principles and not let the lure of money inspire them to "cash in" on religion. There was a film on Luther, but the major studios made little to no efforts at religious films since Passion. They're either on principle refusing to cash in on the sacred or on principle they're avoiding making films on Judaeo-Christianity due to their own general disbelief. Either way it's a rare, if strange, show of integrity--T. Anthony 08:18, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Except there was; see Joseph: King of Dreams.--Codenamecuckoo 15:04, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Sappy

I had watched the Ten Commandments with Charlton Heston and I thought this movie was crap. It took out many of the most important parts of the story and conveniently ended right before a whole lot of people burned for worshipping a Pagan golden calf. Absolute crap.

[edit] Musical

Has anyone heard if there was every any plans for a live musical of this film? If they can do it for the Lion King, why not this one? People would pay on Broadway to see it, I bet. --Mezaco 06:26, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Improper Racial describings

- Excuse me? "The artists subtly changed the characters' facial proportions to correctly give them a more Semitic appearance" Their is no such thing as a 'semitic appearance'. Unless you want to stereotype Semitis as not having a standart 'facial proportions'.--Bob1969 20:24, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
