Movie makers are growing...
Movie makers are growing in their boldness to depict God in frail human terms, often featuring him in comedy. For many years, depicting God on film was considered risky. Filmmakers were sensitive to the Commandment that forbids graven images. They adhered to the 1930s Hays Code, which set the standard for religion in films. The film Ten Commandments depicted God in traditional biblical style: a pillar of fire, a booming disembodied voice, a glowing sunset. In the 1950s film The Next Voice You Hear, God speaks to the world through radio broadcasts.
