In Reply to: What i REALLY think of DOGMA posted by linus on September 09, 2000 at 09:21:26:
: i'm 16 and i want to be a filmmaker. the reason why i want to be one is because i love challenging people and i think that i can express my thoughts best using cinematography and film as a medium.
: basically, some of my pals thought dogma stank and it was blasphemy. i can't believe it was shown here - the philippines being a catholic country.
: i've always admired kevin's work and i think it's one of the best films i've ever seen. it actually made me believe in God even more. people should just give it a chance and see it. i think blasphemy is relative. jews couldn't care less of whatever "blasphemy" there was in the film.
: i think the filmmaker's main role is to challenge people - to make them face something that they really don't talk about or tlak about so much that they really have no idea what it's about (d'you get my meaning?). kevin's made of the stuff REAL filmmakers are made of and it made me believe more that indies really ARE the geniuses of the film industry. and i think it was really cool of kevin and his friends to sit with the protesters outside the theatre with the poster "dogma is dogshit" - that just goes to show what a real person he is and how objective he is with the reactions of people.
: despite the fact that i've been the admirer of the guy that made "mallrats", "chasing amy" and "dogma", it was only today that i found out that guy was actually silent bob.
