FYI — For your ‘Hollyweird’ Ping List....
Actually, itsounds very positive to me! I find it highly offensive when the Lord’s name is taken in vain, and to me, this includes using it in casual dialog.
Has he seen the one with Barbara Stanwick, much better than that slop they pass as movies today.
The morons at TNT are so stupid that they thought the woman was cursing when she was actually praying.
From the context, as I am not so familiar with that movie, “Jesus” was a name being used in vain. Maybe that’s why. I notice that there’s not a lot of “Oh my God” on some of my food and decorating channels, either. It’s always “Oh my gosh” or “Oh, my goodness.”
They were using the Lord’s name in vain in the movie....for entertainment. It’s a good thing it was taken out, not bad.
They should have muffled Leo DiCaprio’s lines :)
Worst movie to ever win an Oscar
I’ve avoided the movie, is she praying or exclaiming? If she’s exclaiming then it would be using The Lord’s name in vain and that’s usually blanked out. Same reason “goddammit” turns to “[pause]dammit”.
If it was being used as an exclamation, then I'm glad it was removed.
There was a survey some years ago that found a disparity in perception of profanity... basically, in rural/religious, i.e., 'red state' areas, people thought 'G**D***' was worse or more offensive profanity than 'F***.' In urban/secular areas it was just the opposite. I definitely hold the former view.
my condolences
The Irish woman is presumably Catholic. I’ve never heard anyone but a Catholic use this phrase (as an exclamation of amazement or disbelief at something, much as the movie character does). Growing up Catholic it was something I heard frequently from the older family members. It was never seen as “profanity” — certainly not along the order of g.d. or anything like that, more of a “wow, what’ll they think of next” sort of thing.

That’s not so bad. I’ve seen several movies on TV that edited out all the profanity, but left in the G portion of GD when it was uttered.
