Facing the Giants Issues involving religious beliefs cause controversy

2022-01-19 08:01
A film aimed at a student audience about the influence of high school football coaches on players with their faith in Jehovah found an audience in Parliament. Not because of the religious information of the film, but because of the film’s rating. Congressman Roy Brent and many lawyers were very dissatisfied when they heard that Movie "Facing the Giants" was positioned as PG instead of G because of its religious content. They submitted a letter to The United States of America Movie Association (MPAA) and asked for an explanation.
PG means that it is recommended that the movie be watched by parents, while G means that the movie is suitable for all ages.
Roy Brent asked in the letter why The United States of America Movie Association decided to restrict the film because it has religious content. He even took out a recent survey conducted by the Harvard School of Public Health saying that the MPAA The ability to manage the sex and violence of Movie is getting weaker and weaker. The implication is that MPAA is quite blaming for "regardless of what should be in charge, and blind management of what should not be done". MPAA officials did not respond to questions from members and lawyers such as Roy Brent, but in a letter to Brent, MPAA’s Crickman insisted that the film’s rating was not solely because of religious content, he said. If there are any topics that are strongly involved in maturity, they may lead to the PG level. "Facing the Giants" discusses pregnancy very maturely, as well as other very mature topics.
"The PG is graded because I hope that parents will know what information the children will get from the film before their children watch this film." For this explanation, Congressman Martha expressed dissatisfaction with this explanation, and she said that they would continue to study Movie classification procedures and standards, hope to hold a hearing this year. Crickman said that the filmmakers had no objection to this classification. Chris, the producer and vice chairman of the marketing department, said that after the dispute, the officials of the Movie Association changed their story. Chris said: "When we first communicated, they told us that religious content was divided into several levels. "

Facing the Giants quotes

  • Brock Kelley: You don't want us to win games?

    Grant Taylor: No. Not if that's our main goal. Winning football games is too small a thing to live for. And I love football as much as anybody. But even championship trophies will collect dust and one day be forgotten. It's just that so far this has all been about us; how we can look good, how we can get the glory. The more I read this book, the more I realize that life's not about us. We're not here to get glory, make money, and die. The Bible says that God put us here for Him. To honour Him. Jesus said that the most important thing you can do with your life is to love God with everything you are, to love others and yourself. So if we win every game and we miss that, we've done nothing. Football then means nothing. So I'm here to present you a new team philosophy. I think that football is just one of the tools we use to honor God.

    Brock Kelley: So you think that God does care about football?

    Grant Taylor: I think He cares about your faith. He cares about where your heart is. And if you can live your faith out on the football field then yes, God cares about football because He cares about you. He sent His son Jesus to die for us so we could live for Him. That's why we're here. But see, it's not just on the football field; we've got to honor Him in our relationships, our respect for authority, in the classroom, and when you're at home alone surfing the internet. I want God to bless this team so much that people talk about what He did. But it means we got to give Him our best in every area. If we win, we praise Him. And if we loose, we praise Him. Either way, we honour Him with our actions and our attitudes. So I'm asking you: what are you living for? I've resolved to give God everything I've got. Then I'll leave the results up to Him. I want to know if you'll join me?

  • Grant Taylor: Scripture says to honor your parents, and all you do is complain.

    Matt Prater: All he does is boss me around. He doesn't even try to understand me.

    Grant Taylor: Matt, you can't judge your father by his actions and then judge yourself by your intentions. It doesn't work that way. You're not responsible for him. You're responsible for you. You honor God by honoring your authority.
