Dogma

Dogma, however, focuses not on relationships, but on faith. Kevin Smith is a comic book fan who owns a comic book store in Red Bank, New Jersey, and has named his daughter after a Batman character. Dogma follows the convention of a comic book-style fantasy action-comedy.Today, Smith identifies as an atheist; in 1999, though, he still called himself a Catholic. While the 1999 Smith clearly did not think that de-Christianization was a good thing, Dogma does not believe that institutionalized religion is the solution.

Dogma Is Kevin Smith's Most Thoughtful (& Star-Studded) Movie. A Stacked Ensemble Cast Brings This Religious Satire To Life. Dogma has all the usual raunchy, juvenile humor you’d expect from Smith, like a grossout sequence involving a “s*** demon.” But it also has some genuinely thought-provoking reflections on faith, the hypocrisy of organized religion, and the misinterpretation of Christ’s teachings.November 12, 1999. Runtime. 130 minutes. Director. Kevin Smith.
