Text your say: Banning biblical epic film

Your comments on the decision made by the Film Censorship Board (LSF) to ban Hollywood'€™s retelling of the biblical tale Noah, as the film is considered controversial:

Actually I don'€™t mind the banning, as long as the LSF is consistent with its arguments. If Noah is banned because it '€œcontradicts'€ some religions, does that mean all of the movies aired do not contradict any religion at all, including all the horror and violence type of movies?

I disagree with the ban of the Noah movie. There is no good reason for banning Noah. Let us see Noah as a movie; if you do not like it just make another Noah movie. It could be a long or short movie.

A film is made only to entertain people and to make money '€” nothing more.

Censorship is just proof of weakness.

That'€™s great, it'€™s such a stupid story.  Otherwise, Indonesians will only think less of Christians for believing such tripe.

Just ban the film, which is another conspiracy of the West. I am worried that, after watching the movie, I would worship Russell Crowe instead of God.

Why didn'€™t they ban the Superman films? Superman has been my idol since my childhood.

Those films must be held responsible for my heresy.

The LSF still has to grow up; its members are certainly not Pancasila-educated Indonesians.

They are not at all representing the real aspirations of the Indonesian youth who want and need to unite this Europe-sized archipelago of ours from Sabang to Merauke and from Sangihe to Rote.

We have to overhaul the LSF; the sooner the better!
