Fun for the whole family
While decrying any use of profanity or depiction of sexuality, the AFA is four-square behind visceral depictions of horrific violence:One Hollywood insider says things in Tinseltown are changing, in part thanks to Mel Gibson's hit independent feature, The Passion of the Christ. Because of the doors opened by that Bible-based blockbuster, film festival founder Jason Apuzzo sees hope for the future of movies that will appeal to conservatives and others longing to see good, quality cinema entertainment.
...One of the upshots of Hollywood's analysis of the success of The Passion, the festival founder notes, is that studios are now soliciting and showing more respect for material aimed at both Christian and non-Christian audiences. And even of the latter sort of movies, he says, the studios are looking at films that are less formulaic, less profit-driven and contrived, as well as films that originate from producers like Gibson who have put a personal vision on the line.
...Apuzzo adds that he is also excited to see so many people in Tinseltown now looking to go beyond the Left-wing lifestyle propaganda messages that have been common in so many movies. He says he anticipates seeing some good movies emerging from Hollywood in the days to come.
Yes, thank God that the Hollywood left's tireless pursuit of profit has finally been replaced by the better angels of non-profit movie making. Or something like that.
Seriously, if you can make sense of this article, more power to you, but it seems to me that the profitable Passion is inspiring studios to make unprofitable movies...or something like that.
