'Anne you lost me on this one!' yet another fan added. 

'How sad. I admired you, Anne. But this is so disrespectful. And yes. I've watched the trailer just in case you argue that this film is not about Holy Mary. It might not be, but what are your intentions in using Christian symbols?' another asked.
