Leave your thoughts about Damned in the U.S.A..
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThe kind of smart-aleck documentary that gives liberalism a bad name. |
| User ReviewGordon Tanother "forgotten" documentary . . . "Censorship in America" featuring arguments over PISS CHRIST . . . Piss Christ is a painting of a crucifix submerged in urine. Its "designed" to get a rise out of people at to say that The Catholic Church is full of shit--relying on symbols and statues. For me "Piss Christ" should not be banned because it represents, for me, a test of faith. My faith in Jesus goes much deeper than seeing a stature of Christ in urine. --beside the artist is expressing his feelings; all feelings are expressible as long as they aren't targeted to hurt or kill another person. "Piss Christ" isn't aiming to hurt an individual. YOU SEE (understand)? . . . Damned in the USA is a good documentary; it makes the viewer think deeply about things. |
