> [@Boyo\_Jim](#): > > Is _Dogma_ a christian movie? I liked it. It was a Catholic movie by a Catholic. It played around with things and had fun, but stayed true to its roots. The director even thought it was strange that there were Catholics who objected to it. I also think that at least the first Narnia film counts. You can’t get away with calling the message non-Christian, and they actually increased the Christian stuff (“It is finished,” for example.) A film I won’t count is Noah. They deviated too far from the source material, changed the message. A lot of Christians felt tricked. The Passion of the Christ of course counts, but I will just relate my brief story with it. We bought the DVD. We still haven’t opened it. It’s not a film you want to watch more than once. ---

The director even thought it was strange that there were Catholics who objected to it. Did they see it? It was so Catholic I expected a _Nihil Obstat_ in the credits.
