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

  • Grant Taylor: Brooke, I can't provide you with a decent home, I can't provide you with a decent car, I'm a failing coach with a losing record. And I can't give you the children you want.

  • Grant Taylor: Lord Jesus, would you help me? I need you. Lord, I feel that there are giants of fear and failure staring down at me, waiting to crush me. And I don't know how to beat 'em, Lord. I'm tired of being afraid. Lord, if you want me to do something else, show me. If you don't want me to have children, so be it. But You're my God. You're on the throne. You can have my hopes and my dreams. Lord, give me something. Show me something.
