'Passion' Snuffed Out at Oscars

HOLLYWOOD, CA (ANS)
– Death overcame life at the 77th
Annual Oscars®, and, in a town that abhors Adolf Hitler’s
National Socialist Germany (for good reason), neo-national socialist
movies took home several of the top awards.
The high points of the night were Jamie Foxx, a MOVIEGUIDE®
Award winner, who exhibited love, compassion, and discipline,
praising his late grandmother for whipping him into shape, and,
later on the Barbara Walters Special, for praying to
Jesus, as she coaxed him into doing the right thing.
The other high point was Brad Bird.
Although many of the winners were not exceptionally bad, most
of the ceremony was as dull as dishwater and host Chris Rock was
obnoxious.
I watched the Oscars® with filmmakers from England and Japan,
and a few others from North and South America. All were disgusted
by it.
One e-mail says it all: “These people dressed up in tuxedoes
and then sounded like small children with potty mouths.”
Instead of giving the Best Picture Oscar®, or even Best Foreign
Language Film, to Mel Gibson’s The Passion of the Christ,
those awards went to two movies advocating euthanasia, a eugenics
policy reminiscent of the murderous propaganda of Hitler’s
henchman Dr. Joseph Goebbels. Ironically, one of the most chilling
moments in the German movie, Downfall, one of the other
nominees for Best Foreign Language Film, is a scene where Goebbels’
wife forces her small, drugged children to bite down on capsules
laced with deadly cyanide. That scene serves as a marked contrast
with the two movies that won the Oscar®, especially the foreign
language movie that won, which was an unrelenting argument for
euthanasia.
Apparently, Hollywood’s elites have learned nothing from
all the Holocaust movies and television programs they have chosen
to honor in the past.
Happily, the American people still get it. Compared to such Christian-friendly
hits like The Passion of the Christ and Oscar-winner
The Incredibles, the euthanasia movies have earned very
little money at the box office.
American moviegoers also rejected the politically-correct, homosexual
pedophile movie Kinsey, which garnered so many kudos
from the press.
