That is a really good metaphor, except that the movie-goer is entirely an empty glass having information poured into him/her. The religious are in the process of being the movie, being the information, and being the empty glass, all at the same time.

Perhaps if the movie were a factual one - but where in Hollywood would you ever find a movie that stuck to the facts? lol
