-----I recently went to see Constantine, A Movie about one mans fight to get into Heaven, while trying to stop Lucifer's Son to raise to earth and create a "World of Fire." There are many things in this movie that could piss the pope and his "posse" off, but instead, theyre staying by his bedside, worrying about his health, and what each person gets when he dies.
---Warning: This entry may piss catholics off. But why give them their own warning when ive pissed so many off? Because I hope that someday, God "Smites Me" for dissing nearly everyone on earth...including You Buddhists...you suk.
---There are many things that could piss the believers off...but ill only mention a few...((ive been doing a lot of lists lately, but this will be the last one for a while))
1. Lucifer Dressed In White, Coming Down From Above
--In the end of Constantine, Constantine tries to contact Lucifer himself in order to stop his son from raising up from Hell. Lucifer entrance is mysterious, the lights dim, and a black substance drops from above, where Lucifer drops from. unlike the black liquid covering his feet, he looks like hes ready to go to a Heaven/Hell Shin-dig to celebrate the doom of earth. Dressed in a brightly white tuxedo, the somewhat crazy Lucifer agrees to stop his son.
--Now what could be so wrong, you ask? well, in catholicism, white is the holy color, worn by the pope and other holy figures, like Jesus. When i saw Lucifer dress in the tux, i immediatly thought Constantine Saying "Where's The Party, Biggie L?"
--I also thought the Pope might get mad because Lucifer came from above...not from below. its kinds strange, though, when Constantine called out for help, he looked above, not below, and his response was the appearance of Lucifer. Just thought id mention that...doesnt have that much of a significance to me...it might to the pope...but screw him...im the one typing
2. I Corintians 17:1 - The Missing Chapters of the Bible
--I wasnt questioning this when i first saw it...it really didnt.
--In the movie, The catholic woman's dead twin sister leaves a message on the window...it shows "I Corintians 17:1." That new chapter mentions Memmon, the Son of Lucifer, raising from Hell and creating a world of Fire and Sulfer. Starting to sound repetitive, huh? In the movie, Constantine tells the catholic chick that there were originally 21 chapters in corintians in the Bibles the Hell has.
--WHOA! wait a minute! did i just say Bibles in Hell! Yes i did...This would be one of the things that would piss the church off...Why have bibles in Hell? Probably because Pretty Woman got boring after 5 billion years and they needed a bigger book to consume time...thats why!
--another thing to think about: Why remove parts of the bible? I consider religion as a morality boost of life, and having parts about the son of the devil coming to doom us all probably wouldnt help boost our spirits, unless your spying on the catholic world, you naughty demon you!
3. The Stupid Catholic Detective
--Ill tell you right now...Catholics are stupid...there...moving on.
--in the movie, this catholic girl's twin sister jumps off the roof of the catholic hospital and lands in the convieniently placed window with a pool below it, and her sister knows she didnt kill herself. Whats wrong with this, you ask? Well, the fact that the twin thats alive represents all the catholics of the world: absent minded, even for a detective, blinded by the religious beliefs she believes in, and always focuses on the past and that blinds her from seeing the true evils of the world ((shown in the movie as...well...basically everything else that happens in the movie)).
Well. to sum it up, out of all the moves with the smallest symbolism in it, This definatly is not one of those...its an obvious attempt to piss john paul poppy off, but instead, he convieniently got sick...and now this is the one movie that is covered up by the pope's sickness
