[quote=Anonymous]From Wikipedia, re the film's star, Jim Caviezel:

Political views

Caviezel is publicly against abortion.[30] In 2006, Caviezel was featured with actress Patricia Heaton and Missouri athletes Kurt Warner and Mike Sweeney in an advertisement opposing Missouri Constitutional Amendment 2, which allowed any form of embryonic stem cell research and therapy in Missouri that is otherwise legal under federal law. He began the advertisement by saying, "Le-bar nash be-neshak" (Aramaic for "You betray the Son of Man with a kiss"), a reference to Judas's betrayal of Jesus Christ and a phrase used in the Gospel According to St. Luke.[50][51] (In the advertisement, the line did not include a translation into English.) Caviezel closed the commercial with the line, "You know now. Don't do it. Vote no on 2." The advertisement was a response to a commercial featuring Michael J. Fox, who favored embryonic stem cell research.[52]

In 2021, Caviezel endorsed some elements of the QAnon theory[53][54] during a remote appearance at the "Health and Freedom Conference"[55][56] at Rhema Bible Training College in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma.[57] The appearance was to promote the film Sound of Freedom, centering on anti-human trafficking activist Timothy Ballard. Ballard's activism has been alleged to correspond to the rise of QAnon, though he denies any connection to the movement.[58] Caviezel mentioned that Ballard was supposed to be appearing at the conference but was "saving victims of trafficking" who were victims of "adrenochroming", a practice whose existence is suggested by QAnon adherents.[59] Caviezel suggested he had seen evidence of children being subjected to the practice.[60] The event included appearances by other QAnon promoters, such as L. Lin Wood[61] and Michael Flynn.[62] In October of the same year, Caviezel spoke in Las Vegas at the "For God & Country: Patriot Double Down" conference, where he mentioned the need to fight child sex trafficking, Satan and liberal values. He claimed that "the storm is upon us", echoing the belief in a final battle against evil and repeated the battle cry of William Wallace in Braveheart, also urging the audience to "[send] Lucifer and his henchmen straight back to hell where they belong".[63]

I am against pedos and trafficing kids and have the utmost respect for anyone who works to stop that from happening.  Thank you to them for all of their work and service and the toll that must take on their mental health, holy moly.

I also agree with what one of the previous posters wrote about QAnon basically fomenting wild opinions in normal people to get us to the crazytown rebellion of January 6 and not accepting the results of a normal election.  Fingers crossed the US never goes through anything like that again, but it's clear that we really are relying alot on luck and finger crossing at this point, and not the checks and balances and lack of crazy people with lots of money that used to prevent that sort of thing from happening.

I'm not planning to see the film in theaters, but I might watch it at home when it comes on a service somewhere.[/quote]
