Ok, so I'll make this brief, if anyone cares. I'll stay away from how I feel about this movie (Do I feel good about? Does it piss me off? You'll never know!).
The filmmakers are pretty blatantly using (and promoting their movie with) U2, specifically Bono and the Edge (from their interview on Dave Stewart's show, I think?) within the context of Christian Rock. This angers me, since U2 are not a Christian Rock band. They are a band of four individuals, some of whom happen to be, or have been, Christians. Even during the October era, I doubt U2 would have wanted to be associated with or branded as Christian Rock.
It's fairly infuriating to me that, much like movie reviews, the snippets from the interview featuring Bono and the Edge are taken completely out of context, while another musician/artist/somebody is talking about Bono performing live and getting teary eyed at the thought of him giving himself to God during a performance (<- which is a paraphrase and assumption based on the editing of this trailer, which may not make me any better than the filmmakers).
Anyway, I just wanted to open a discussion about this, if anyone's interested. Forgive me if I posted in the wrong section, I pretty much only visit here and Where The Album... Also forgive me if this is a lockable thread.
