    I wish there was a filter to hide articles that are based on some random dipshit’s social media posts.

    "Meanwhile, one disgruntled social media user added: “Dear Meryl Streep. I have watched your films and loved your talent for 40 years. Please do not do this. They are using you and your good name to blaspheme Christians.”

    Another said: “Bold decision but the type that could destroy buzz for a story with a strong Christian influence. Feels very Snow White-esque. Why does Hollywood keep doing this?”

    And someone else wrote: “This is insane. It’s a male lion, the king of beasts and it parallels Christ. This completely changes the story. This movie is DOA!”"

      I wouldn’t be surprised if the posts were just fake profiles the writer made and it all ends up just being a bunch of fabrication to promote the movie

    Some people seem to think that I began by asking myself how I could say something about Christianity to children; then fixed on the fairy tale as an instrument; then collected information about child-psychology and decided what age-group I’d write for; then drew up a list of basic Christian truths and hammered out “allegories” to embody them. This is all pure moonshine.

    God is compared to a female lion in the Bible, so they should read their Bible instead of being angry on the net about a movie…

    But she is awesome and that’s what gets you to heaven or whatever the great squid/spaghetti monster wants for us in the afterlife.
