Could someone who knows stuff about Scientology elaborate on this? Like, how thinly-veiled it it? I didn't notice anything, but yeah, I don't know anything about Scientology.

[(Anonymous)]

Haven't seen the movie, but I'm guessing the whole "fear is just an emotion you choose to respond to" mantra, which seems to be a big part of the kid's survival journey, is part of it. Scientologists believe humanity is infected with tormented alien ghost-souls (thetans) that bring all sadness and pain into our lives, and only through meditation and study can we spiritually detach/purify ourselves enough to dissolve these negative creatures and reach some kind of success/happiness/enlightenment.

"Fear is just an emotion you can choose to respond to"? Seriously? Is every movie with a moral about treating people like you want to be treated Christian propaganda? Are movie extolling charity trying to promote Islam?

[(Anonymous)]

The saddest thing about this comment is that both of these concepts came from Judaism before either Christianity or Islam was around :(

[(Anonymous)]

I'm pretty sure no Abrahamic religion invented a moral concept, they're a little young for that.

[(Anonymous)]

And Judaism took it all from other religions. You point?

Um. Wut? The quote from the movie is "Fear is not real. It is a product of thoughts you create... fear is a choice." That's only one line, but it seems to be a strong part of the kid's development/survival story.

Again, I haven't seen it, but since the original anon was asking what the movie's theme had to do with Scientology (initiating a game of "spot the Scientology themes" basically) and since a big aspect of Scientology is the removal of negative energies and avoidance of negative emotions, it is not unreasonable to make that parallel.

.......really? Holy. Fuck. That is so much more fucked up than i thought. Wow.

[(Anonymous)]

they believe some other really fucked up shit too.

[tabaqui]

Well, i'd heard the crap about Tom Cruise berating Brooke Shields over post-partum depression and such, and wanted to beat his ass.

What utter garbage.

Apparently, it's so thickly veiled it's actually referencing the Wizard of Oz instead of anything Hubbard wrote...
