"Unfortunately, the self professed Christian producer of this film used poor discernment in giving a platform to a homsexual activist."
It doesn't matter. The film is not about homosexuality. It is about missionaries trying to reach primitive tribes. It's a great story.
Calls to boycott this film are just plain stupid. There are few enough films that Christians can lay claim to as representative of the work they do. This one may actually be pretty good.
What Allen does or says outside the film is completely irrelevant. He is an actor. He played a role. I'm sure he played it well.
If calls for boycotts cripple yet another movie that depicts Christianity in a positive way, it only means that Christians will have fewer movies like that in the future. It's already difficult enough for Christian-themed movies to get made, distributed, and shown. Why make things worse.
Most people will never hear Allen say anything at all. He's promoting himself and his homosexuality. Lots of people will see his portrayal of a dedicated Christian missionary.
I will be seeing the film today (Sunday).
Then I'll come home and watch the Broncos beat the Steelers.
Should be a good day.
