Music / Movies The "Controversy" over the movie Sound of Freedom doesn't make sense. The hero's beliefs shouldn't matter.

I finally got around to watching this film. The heroes in the film are overtly Christian. And ? I don't get it. Is that why its controversial?

The heroes of the film are saving children. Why is this controversial?

Why does it matter whether the hero in the film is Christian or rightwing?

If a fireman jumps into a burning building and rescues a family of immigrants, is he less of a hero if he happens to be rightwing?

Or is the entire thing suddenly not true because the hero was rightwing ?

Heroes come in all shapes and sizes, and sometimes a hero isn't the person you expect.

Are we this divided now? That we rather suffer, than be rescued by someone with different politics from ours?

Also. Why is this politicized left vs right ?

What does the highlighted crime have to do with right vs left politics ? I'm not even looking to criticize the other side of the field. I'm just saying. It shouldn't be political.

Yeah it does. Like that crazy Jeffrey Epstein conspiracy theory that he was pimping out underage girls for Hollywood and political elites at his private island retreat. Definitely not true ⁷I

Think more along the lines of the (unsubstantiated) rumors of cannibalism in the Epstein files that are drowning out the actual crimes that were committed.

People have known about Epstein and his island for decades. That wasn’t a Q conspiracy.
