The Malaysian Muslims are calling for a ban on Bruce Almighty's sequel, Evan Almighty stating that the movie is poking fun on Islam and the image of Noah, one of the 25 Islamic prophets. Boy oh boy, not another ban. I know this is not a much anticipated movie by Malaysians but for God's sake, it's just fun and humor stuff. I guess we have the longest list on banned movies.
In 1999, the Government imposed a ban on Prince of Egypt, an animated feature based on the life of Moses and the Hebrew Exodus from Egypt to the Promised Land. Their reason? Moses is a Muslim prophet and it's a sin to depict prophet images. Another ban was imposed on Daredevil, a real-life adaptation from the Marvel comic stared Ben Affleck. They said that the movie was too violent and not suitable for kids and adults alike .... yeah, right.... HWEKKKK!!!!!
The same thing happened to Bruce Almighty in 2003. At first they decided to ban the movie just because Morgan Freeman is God. Before that Dogma because Alanis Morisette played God... wow, God is a rock chick, AWESOME!!! What else ... oh but the ban was lifted and Bruce Almighty lived for another day, but the length of the movie was shortened to 1 hour and 45 minutes because there's quite many scenes were deleted from the movie. Shuggggs!!!!
But luckily, the Cultural Minister said that before any bans should be called, he urged the people to watch the movie first and only after watching it they can reason out why such movie should be banned. I totally agree with that. Why should we ban a movie when we now that the movie watchers are no longer small kids who needs thorough censorships of sort. We know what's right and what's wrong so what the heck with that?
Anyway my hope is that this movie, which is fun and interesting as I judged from its trailer, will live another day, just like its predecessor Bruce. In fact, Noah in New York... that's ridiculous, hahahahah!!!!
