Charles Darwin Film too Controversial for U.S.
I was astonished to read this. I know that there are anti Darwin folk, but didn't think they had this much clout.

Surely they teach the theory of evolution in school? Even in the so called bible belt.
Is there any significance in you reading about it in a british newspaper?

Evolution of course is taught at the uni level. Elementary and High School depends on the state and district. The concept of Intelligent Design vs. Creationism continues as a controversial teaching subject.
Reading about this is significant in that I have not read a similar piece in U.S. publications. That's one of the reasons I read foreign publications. I like to get the full picture.

The title line includes the words "according to it's producer", meaning that's merely his opinion because Americans are not interested in his film. That would be more of the whole story you read foreign newspapers to get.
Never underestimate the power of complaint. Look how few complaints it takes to stop prayer in schools, manger scenes in public places and all sorts of other activities.

Hoppy's right. I heard on the radio that it was more because it was a bad film rather than any controversy over the content

Considering the number of really bad foreign films that do get distributed in the U.S., this Darwin film must really be a stinker if that's the reason no one picked it up---------YET.

I agree, Lon. Time will tell. We Americans should be able to make up our minds about a film.

I think it's all hype to stir up interest in a film that would probably have a better shot going straight to dvd.
You would think that if the religious folks objected there would be some heated discussions on the web.. don't see it popping when i google the movie..
remember the 'gay' teletubby or whatever that critter was.? lot's of press.. same thing with every christ movie that comes out..

I often get accused of not watching what the media has to say....that's a DUH because I used to work in it. I am a substitute teacher and danged disgusteded by the classroom instruction now. Sometimes I am amazed by the fact I live with a man who does not believe in the science of the Earth's history.

I remember that, the british media has a field day with that one- it was hilarious.

That one always amazes me. I know people hold the belief in all sincerity, but it still leaves me goldfishing. :wah:

Don't know about you but I find that atheists feel the need to from groups quite startling.

We have our nutters but these guys are in a league of their own. I can't imagine any religious group daring to picket a funeral in the UK.
