What Movies Have You Seen Lately?

I think I said it was for this movie that we needed to wait for the Critical Drinker's review. Nothing surprising here... except the claim that the marketing department was making the movie seem like something else.

In any case, apparently there is a generally valid question: is this movie for young girls at all? or is it actually for their moms?

Quote:

Addressing Nolan directly, Mahurkar remarks that “It has come to our notice that the movie Oppenheimer contains a scene which make a scathing attack on Hinduism,” before outlining the offense the scene has caused among many.

“We do not know the motivation and logic behind this unnecessary scene on life of a scientist. But this is a direct assault on religious beliefs of a billion tolerant Hindus, rather it amounts to waging a war on the Hindu community and almost appears to be part of a larger conspiracy by anti-Hindu forces. We are living in a very polarised world. The agencies, media, politics and even your Hollywood film industry is very sensitive about the fact that Quran and Islam is not depicted in any manner that may offend the value system of a common Muslim, even if you make something based on Islamist terrorism.

There is a term that has become popular for those who attempt to cross this red line – Islamophobia. Why should not the same courtesy be also extended to Hindus? We urge, on behalf of billion Hindus and timeless tradition of lives being transformed by revered Geeta, to do all that is needed to uphold dignity of their revered book and remove this scene from your film across [the] world. Should you choose to ignore this appeal it would be deemed as a deliberate assault on Indian civilization.”
