Beauty vs. The Beast

posted in: Uncategorized | 107,578

It is amazing the posts on my news feed over the hoopla concerning another Disney movie. First Disney has been headed down this road for a while, and we need to quit being surprised. Next, this topic brings up some real discussions, we as Christians need to have. The world sees the hypocrisy in our actions. But this is what happens when we run around telling people “we don’t need to worry about all that theology stuff, we just need to let people know Jesus loves them”. We end up not having any answers or giving poor, if not just wrong, answers to the world’s questions.

So what is the question of the day? It is this… why would Christians boycott Beauty and the Beast when it goes against their values, yet continue to see movies that involve all kinds of other sins; murder, bad language, sex, and more? This is a valid question. And this is how the world sees the argument.

Let’s look at where we agree. I remember when another movie debuted. It was called Magic Mike. This movie did not get the scorn you would expect from the Christians. Instead Facebook news feeds were filled with ladies talking about going to see this movie. These same ladies were posting bible verses the day before. The same argument above works here. Why would you call down condemnation on men for going to the strip club but then justify going to a movie which involved men stripping? I suppose you just use the Playboy argument, “it had a good story”.

The real question being ask is this, why do you justify one sin and condemn another? There is a tendency we have to avoid our own failings and point out the sin in others. This is the meaning of judge not lest ye be judged. Not that we should never judge but that we when we judge we should judge rightly because the same standards will be applied to us. So if we are to boycott a movie like Beauty and the Beast then we should also boycott Magic Mike.

So why don’t we just boycott all movies that contain any sin? There are always distinctions to be made and the distinction is this; both Beauty and the Beast and Magic Mike glorify sin. If a movie contains a murder, it is typically understood that it is wrong and justice is sought by searching for the guilty party, arresting them, and putting them on trial. The fact that a movie contains sin is not a reason not to watch it. The question should be what does the movie say about that sin? The question is not how many cuss words are used. It doesn’t matter if it is 3, 7, or 24, but what is the world view being promoted. Truth is that Christians should probably quit watching most of what is on television and in movies, and read a book. If you need a reference let me know, there is one that has been around a while.

We need to learn to define our worldview and what is important. Christians need to stop defining their worldview based on their own personal preferences. This is what makes it hard to answer the world’s questions. This is how we are hypocritical. We need to learn to rightly define our own sin, as well as sin in general. It is time we take self evaluations and honestly review our own lives. What we watch, what we wear, how we speak and how we spend our time.

Sin is sin is sin. We need to call sin what it is. Truthfully, Christians need to quit justifying their sin and the world needs to quit glorifying their sin. We need to learn that not agreeing is not hate. Truth is true regardless of our emotional reaction. Truth may elicit emotions but they don’t define it. Because I call what you enjoy sin does not mean I hate you. I understand the struggle because I struggle myself. Our sins are different and the same. But sin is sin and we must bring light to the darkness. It is the beast that separates us from our creator but if we turn from it he will redeem us and therein lies true beauty.

    Gwyneth Paltrow has candidly revealed that she and Timothée Chalamet
    – who is over two decades her junior – have a lot of sex scenes in their upcoming film together.

    The 52-year-old Oscar winner and 29-year-old Oscar nominee get steamy several times in their upcoming film Marty Supreme just
    months after photos of them kissing in New York had tongues wagging in October. 

    Gwyneth recently appeared on the cover of Vanity Fair where she candidly talked about hooking up on-screen with her 20-year-old daughter Apple Martin’s celebrity crush.

     She explained: ‘I mean, we have a lot of sex in this movie.
    There’s a lot — a lot.’

    Gwyneth was then asked if there are ‘a lot of vulnerable positions’ between she
    and Kylie Jenner’s boyfriend to which she replied:
    ‘Beyond.’

    The talented star described he character
    as being someone who ‘is married to someone who is in the Ping-Pong
    mafia, as it were’ and becomes romantically involved with Timothee’s character Marty Reisman.

    Gwyneth Paltrow has candidly revealed that she and
    Timothee Chalamet – who is over two decades her junior – have a lot of sex scenes in their upcoming film together;
    they are seen filming in New York in October

    Gwyneth explained: ‘She’s had a pretty tough life, and I think he breathes life back into her,
    but it’s kind of transactional for them both.’ 

    The star said that she did not know the position of intimacy coordinator existed as she had never worked with
    one before.

    So when the intimacy coordinator on the film asked if she would
    be comfortable with some physicality Gwyneth
    explained: ‘I was like, “Girl, I’m from the era where you get naked, you get in bed, the camera’s on.”‘ 

    She also discussed how she and Timothée handled working with the intimacy coordinator.

    Gwyneth explained: ‘We said, “I think we’re good. You can step a little bit back.”

    ‘I don’t know how it is for kids who are starting out, but … if
    someone is like, “Okay, and then he’s going to put his hand here” …
    I would feel, as an artist, very stifled by that.’

    The actress’ return to the big screen after a five year hiatus was
    inspired by her daughter Apple who has a ‘crush’ on Chalamet.

    ‘Gwyneth signed on to co-star with Timothee in Marty Supreme thanks
    to her daughter, who has had a crush on the Dune star for years,’ an insider told DailyMail.com exclusively in October.

     Despite having no ‘major wish’ to act, Paltrow was reportedly ‘convinced’ to say yes
    to the offer after her daughter Apple learned that Chalamet is not only producing, but also playing the lead.

    As soon as Gwyneth told Apple that Timothee is not only a producer but also
    the lead actor, she pleaded with her mom to accept.’

    ‘After reading it and loving it, despite having no major wish
    to act right now, she was convinced by Apple, who intends to be on set as much as possible.’

     Gwyneth described her daughter’s crush to Vanity Fair
    as she said: ‘He’s such a thinking man’s sex symbol.

    ‘He’s just a very polite, properly raised, I was going to say kid.
    He’s a man who takes his work really seriously and is a fun partner.’

    The film is a return to acting for Paltrow aas she most recently starred in Netflix’s The Politician in 2019 and lent her voice to
    2022’s She Said and an episode of 2023’s American Horror Stories.

    But her last big silver screen appearance was
    in Marvel’s 2019 superhero adventure Avengers: Endgame
    in which she reprised her role as Pepper Potts, Iron Man’s love interest.

    The actress, who is married to producer Brad Falchuk, scaled back her ‘incredible acting career’ to focus on goop, the wellness brand she launched in 2008 and grew into an estimated $250 million business.

    ‘is married to someone who is in the Ping-Pong mafia,
    as it were’ and becomes romantically involved with Timothee’s character Marty Reisman

    Other plot specifics from their film are still under wraps, but the film, produced by A24, will be
    a ‘fictionalized original, rather than a biopic,’ according to Deadline, with Chalamet’s
    character drawing on Marty – one of the most accomplished American table
    tennis players of all time.

    The native New Yorker, known as ‘The Needle,’ won more than 22 major table tennis titles between 1946 and 2002 after
    picking up the sport as a child on the Lower East Side and hustling for money
    throughout his early years.

    He and his doubles partner – Douglas Cartland – later became the opening act for the Harlem Globetrotters, performing a table
    tennis comedy routine with frying pans.

    His autobiography – The Money Player, The Confessions of America’s Greatest Table Tennis Player
    and Hustler – was published in 1974.

    Reisman, who once described his career as ‘a funny way to
    spend a life,’ died in 2012, aged at 82.

    Marty Supreme – directed by  Josh Safdie – is set for release on December 25.
