abstract: The relationship of religion and movies actually has existed since this
Industry began. As Andre Bazin (2002), writes, 'The cinema has always
been interested in God'. Religion is something personal , in John Tillich
terms, it is an area of culture that involve basic beliefs about the ultimate
nature of reality, our purpose in the world, and we find a meaning in it.
That is why, posing a religion or religious idea in the movies is always
interesting for the producers or the film industry. However, film is indeed
a cultural business, whatever presented on the screen is actually a
construction of reality by people behind the screen. Focus on certain
Hollywood and Indonesian movies, the research finds that the religious
ideas in the movies have consistently appeared since the beginning of this
industry, but it is part of co modification of product by using people’s
intimacy in religious life, thus they feel represented.
