| Dear Mr. Citrone, Please consider the following letter as an editorial. Thank you, John Billings
I recently asked David Blue, the owner of the San Marco Theater, if he would consider showing the movie Creation. He seemed taken aback, and began shaking his head. Mr. Blue said, No, the docudrama on the discovery of evolution was not worth his while; it was not "mainstream".
Really? Creation stars Jennifer Connelly; is she not mainstream? The movie has received good, even rave reviews in Canadaand the UK; it is popular wherever it shows. In fact, only in the USA has the movie not found a distributor.
The American censoring of Creation has nothing to do with the film's popularity and everything to do with its contents: the conflict between science and religion. Apparently, for the owner of a theater in Jacksonville, as for America in general, evolution is not mainstream.
John Citrone's response: This enrages me beyond my normal levels of enragement. I will pass this on to our editor.
You should pitch it to 5 Points Theatre. THEY would show it. And we need it to show here. |
