Netflix «Mary» movie (2024). Can you list all the blasphemies in the trailer?

[Geremia]

Nope, not watching... 

[Michael Wilson]

Same here, I'm liable to punch out my computer screen.

[drummerboy]

A raging power maniac high priest? Joseph watching Mary going to bathe?  Gabriel looks more like a demon.  God have mercy.

[Geremia]

It shows her presentation in the Temple, but the rest of the portrayal is blasphemous:

"You are to have Son."
"But that's not possible." 🤦 That's not what she said! She said: "How shall this be done, because I know not man" (Lk. 2:34).

And St. Joseph says: "You've laid with a man." 🤦 St. Joseph was an honest man who didn't suspect the holiest woman God ever created would've committed adultery!

The wedding scene is shown after she was shown pregnant. 🤦
She was already married at the Annunciation!

And they show her in pain giving birth! She wouldn't've been in pain; painful childbirth is consequent of Original Sin (Gen. 3:16), and she was completely free of all sin.

Just another attempt to troll Christians and sow doubt during Advent.

Same as Lent.

The two founders of Netflix.  Randolph is Jewish; not sure about Hastings, his father was a lawyer so maybe??? But his mother is upper class Boston WASP.  Neither is any fan of Catholicism so no surprise Netflix is constantly blaspheming.

I've never had a Netflix subscription (I don't even have a TV in my home), but if I had, I certainly wouldn't keep it after this. For some reason, when someone blasphemes against Our Lord's Blessed Mother I get much more angry than when I hear blasphemy against even Christ Himself, which I tend to attribute to foolishness and ignorance. So, I'm not going to watch this heresy, the negative emotions stirred by it would probably not be very dignifying. However, if you are more curious than me, at least don't pay for it!

In fact, if you needed an excuse to never again in your life give a penny to Netflix, now you have a really good one!

By giving up on Netflix, the improvement to your life will be much more than financial: you'll have one addiction less, more free time, less demonic influence, but best of all, it will help you stay in good grace with the most Blessed Virgin.

Agree, I wouldn't watch that trash.

As for insulting Jesus' Mother. I suspect the consequences are more severe. Seeing your mother attacked can induce rage. As for divine rage it doesn't bear thinking about!     

[Geremia]

"You are to have Son."
"But that's not possible." 🤦 That's not what she said! She said: "How shall this be done, because I know not man" (Lk. 2:34).

The trailer doesn't quote everything. In context, she says (@44:57): "But that's not possible. I can't have a child.", which isn't too bad, but still not 100% accurate:

Who's there? What do you want?
Don't be afraid, Mary.  You have found favor... with God.
What-- What do you mean?
You are to become a mother and have a son. He will reign over the house of David.
But that's not possible. I can't have a child.
All things are possible...with God. You will name him Jesus. And all the world will know him, Mary. For you are blessed among women.
Let it be me.

And St. Joseph says: "You've laid with a man." 🤦 St. Joseph was an honest man who didn't suspect the holiest woman God ever created would've committed adultery!

Actually, it was St. Joachim's character who said that. He was initially upset, but was portrayed as forgiving his daughter:

What they say about us?
But it's not true.
Papa, they don't know the truth.
Tell me the truth then. You've laid with a man.
No! Never.
How is this possible?
I told you. It was the spirit.

The wedding scene is shown after she was shown pregnant. 🤦
She was already married at the Annunciation!

She was betrothed, yes (which is what we'd call a valid but unconsummated marriage), the ceremony of which is portrayed first (@40:50); then the Annunciation (@44:27), then the Visitation (@51:11), then the nuptials (1:02:29), "the solemn entry of the bride into her husband's home amidst great festivities and rejoicing" (Llamera, O.P. p. 19), which seems correct (though I don't know how accurate that ceremony itself was portrayed). That means at least 3 months between her betrothal and nuptials (which seems plausible, though I don't know how long after betrothals nuptials occurred back then); but did she even celebrate her nuptials? Doesn't that imply consummation?

(@50:19 St. Anne's character: "I want you to go to Aunt [sic; though συγγενής can mean any blood relative] Elizabeth in Ein Karem. She is seven [6! cf. Lk. 1:36] months with child")

St. Joseph as portrayed as angry ("Joseph, he's angry. -He needs to calm down. -I must speak to him." @58:23), punching his coworkers (well, they did insult his wife) in rebuilding the Temple (I've never heard any mystics say he helped rebuild the Temple...). The angel isn't portrayed appearing to him in his sleep, either times (to tell him not to be afraid to take his wife or to flee to Egypt).

St. Joseph is portrayed as not knowing why there are so many people in Bethlehem. 🤦

So, besides the painful childbirth, inaccuracies, and "artistic license" (showing her being tempted and St. Gabriel vs. Satan), this film isn't too bad. The portrayal of her time in the Temple conformed somewhat to what the mystics think (except they think she entered at 5 or 6), but she was portrayed as being kicked out of the Temple when found pregnant, but it seems she would've definitively left before her espousal.

She was portrayed as firmly resolved to remain a virgin, though they deny her virginity in partu (and don't deny (nor affirm) her virginity post partum).

Regarding Joseph's age, they don't portray him as an elderly gray-haired man, but in the prime of life, which was good.

[Geremia]

And they show her in pain giving birth! She wouldn't've been in pain; painful childbirth is consequent of Original Sin (Gen. 3:16), and she was completely free of all sin.

They could've done a cinematographic portrayal inspired by the William Blake's theologically accurate depiction (except that his depicts St. Elizabeth in Bethlehem...):
You cannot view this attachment.

St. Jerome didn't even think she would've had midwives, either.

[drummerboy]

Where was Mary living at the time of the Annunciation? She wouldn't have lived alone even though all artwork makes it appear thus

[Antonius]

Maybe once again, it is a case of film/TV producers trying to adapt a biblical story for the modern era. When it should be a case of the modern era adapting to biblical fact, and also Tradition.
