Many errors with this premise. But let’s assume it could be as it was — would you think it good if they did a show called The Pagan about someone who thought they were baptized and found out they were not? Or someone who thought they were a priest and not?
That is hilarious Tito! No doubt the humor impaired will deny it, but it is!
Here is a clip from the Four Lions, a comedy about four inept British muslim terrorists.
What if someone did a show about “someone who thought they were a priest and were not?”
I dunno about that, but I have seen that premise done in reverse — someone who WAS a priest and thought they weren’t. The character of John Black on “Days of Our Lives” (Drake Hogestyn), when he entered the story about 20 years ago or so, had been brainwashed, or had amnesia, or something, and forgotten his previous identity. Only after his beloved Marlena (Deirdre Hall) became possessed by the devil did he discover that he had been a priest in his past life, and he ended up exorcising the evil spirit from her. Then, of course, he dropped his vocation like a hot potato.
LOL!
“I used an I.R.A. voice.”
I will be putting that on my Netflix cue now.
There have also been several comedies where everyone thinks someone is a priest when in fact he is not.
Too funny… I agree that in premise it has errors. Any Jew or other religion can be accepted into the Muslim community. In Islam it is believed that every one is born Muslim – period. If you say you are Christian – Jew or other – you are wrong and need to be corrected through Dawa first.
But this is histerical, I can only imagine how it will turn out and who will be upset about it….
Nice to see the Brits haven’t yet succumbed to political correctness!
CMinor,
They may well be the last bastion of common sense left in Europe!
The fact that Islam accepts conversions from any faith (which faith doesn’t?) doesn’t delegitimate the story, since Jewishness is perceived ethnically as well as religiously. There are secular Jews just as there are secular people from a Christian background, etc. The fact is that people who’ve found out they’re Jewish halfway thru life- and there are many, for obvious reasons – are generally turned upside down by the news. What’s more interesting is why a filmmaker would feel this premise is important to us now as something to laugh at and learn from – it’s the zeitgeist and a conversation (and laughter) that needs to be had.
Interesting that Islam isn’t so tolerant when people convert away from Islam.
