I think there is a large prejudice and hate against Tom's religion, and so they don't like him, or anything he does. Seems a story about the 3rd Reich even, people would see the wrong in having these views. Same with Battlefield Earth, which was not an Oscar type film, but was a fun rolliking adventure. Seems Travolta doesn't get treated so bad, but his film about the motorcyclists was terrible, and I found it racistly offensive with that Martin guy.
