is anyone going to boycott the movie The Golden Compass?

Question

Since it's an anti god, anti christianity movie?

Answer 1

Why give money to an atheist who is thumbing his nose at God? I'm not "boycotting" anything. I prefer to do something more meaningful than watch a movie about a little girl who is a compulsive liar.

By the way--those of you who say this is "just a movie" are deluding yourselves. It's a vehicle for Pullman to push his atheistic views on an unsuspecting public.

Answer 2

No way. I loved the books and am excited about the movie. I may go see it twice just to counter those who didn't read the book are jumping on the boycott bandwagon without knowing what they're talking about. The Golden Compass alone is not anti-god, anti-Christian. Those sentiments can be found buried in the third volume, The Amber Spyglass.

Answer 3

Get a life and a grip people? Why call it a boycott? Just don't go see it. Let those who want to escape into fantasy for a couple of hours do so and allow them to enjoy it. You, stay home.

Did you see ANY of the Harry Potter movies? Anti God as well. Witches, Warlocks, Wizards, magic etc etc etc.


Dont try to force your ideals on other people. Turn the channel, the station, whatever...

Answer 4

No, but I am going to boycott the nativity play the church up the street is doing, since it's obviously anti-deist/agnostic/buddhist/athiest.

Seriously, though, I imagine some people will.

Answer 5

My family will NOT be seeing this film. First of all - my main objection to this movie is that the theme and purpose is underhandedly hidden and attempted to be passed off as a movie for children. Although in some of the answers to this question we are told that the atheists don't "react" to Christian and Jewish productions, I beg to differ. I can't think of any Christian films that attempt to "hide" their theme or purpose. These same people are the first to insist that our nativity scenes be removed from public view and insist that prayer and any form of religious reference be removed from our schools. They are angered that all of us won't blindly submit to their insistance that we become like them and they loudly voice their opinion while calling Christians and Jews violators of "their" rights. They want to take away our choice to worship and display our faith while they expose theirs regularly and expect us to just take it and not react or complain. If we do react and stand up for OUR rights, they call "foul" and hire an attorney or the ACLU. Unfortunately, the land of the "free" is not so "free" anymore if you are God-Fearing. "In God We Trust" was once our country's theme and now these people who fear us are being given more rights than those of us who stand firm in the faith that made this country what it was and what it should be again (if we continue to stand up and not fold under pressure and political correctness). The atheist community won't be pleased until our coins read more like "In NO God we trust".
I also believe the reaction is a "UNrighteous indignation" because they had hoped they could "slip this one by us" and spoon feed our children these submessages under the disguise of an innocent fantasy movie, even releasing it during the month of our most precious Christian and Jewish Holidays. That is NO mistake, it is just another attempt to slap us in the face (or more like a sucker punch as they had hoped we wouldn't discover the underlying theme of this trilogy).
Research this issue online and you will find atheist websites glowing over the movie, others will try to play down the purpose of the movie and still other atheists are disturbed that it isn't MORE blatant as to the anti-God theme. Check also snopes.com and you will get a more accurate idea as to the underhanded purpose of this movie; to distort the minds of our children towards thier views, yet they cry foul if we expose their children by daring to pray in public or in school or to even say the pledge of allegiance because of the "one nation under God" phrase. It is very sad that the very rights that they hold up as constitutional and deserved (but yet want to deny us) are the rights that were given to them by our GOD FEARING and GOD TRUSTING forefathers.
I am not an extremist either, but I don't like it when others expect more respect and rights than the rest of us and I do not like the underhanded attempts to slip this message through to our children. The author ABSOLUTELY intends to and admits that his goal is to kill God in the minds of our children. The third book in the trilogy ends with the children KILLING GOD and being able to do whatever they want (what chaos THAT would be!!!) Boycotting this movie is an important stance that should be taken by Christians and Jews as well as anyone else who believes that our children should not be fed subliminal messages in such an underhanded, distorted manner under the disguise of "friendly fantasy".

Answer 7

There is always going to be a movie that offends someone. See it or not see it, whatever your choice may be.

There is never going to be one movie that can somehow not offend anyone.
