"As part of their work during the catechism classes, ‘The Kerala Story’ was screened for them just to understand the theme of the film, that there are people who are getting into unnecessary love affairs and finally they end up in disappointment. To conscientize them and make them aware, the Church has done this... I do not know if there is anybody who is having a vested interest in this – either political parties or any other communities. Anyway, the Church is not a party to any of these groups or political parties, but we have a very clear intention to educate our children and also to conscientize our people who come to the Church. This is the only intention we had in the matter... Therefore, our teenagers and youngsters should understand that we need protection against exploitation, especially in this regard, against failed and forced love affairs which are leading them into any kind of problems. That was the intention of the Eparchy of Idukki, the catechism department, when they have given this particular theme for the study on this matter."

"The Kerala Story draws the attention of the entire nation to the conspiracy like love jihad. The entire society must be made aware of this distortion. A commendable and brave effort has been made in this regard by the film’s producer, director, and entire team."

"Protesters like Shakeel Afsar should be campaigning against Islamist extremism, not against films highlighting the crimes committed in its name. The Kerala Story is a powerful film with a powerful message. Those who want to watch it must be free to do so."

"In the midst of all this, renowned filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma has come out in support of The Kerala Story while criticising Bollywood for its “death-like silence on the shattering success of the film.” RGV also said the film will haunt Bollywood like a “mysterious fog in every story discussion room and corporate house.” “We are so comfortable in telling lies to both others and ourselves that when someone goes ahead and shows the truth we get SHOCKED… That explains the DEATH like SILENCE of BOLLYWOOD on the SHATTERING SUCCESS of #KeralaStory,” the filmmaker said in the first tweet of a series. “The #KeralaStory is like a BEAUTIFUL GHOSTLY MIRROR showing the DEAD face of Main stream BOLLYWOOD to itself in all its UGLINESS.”"

"The scenes involving rape, beheading, chopping of hands, and violence against women make it an 'Adults Only' film. It's a film against 'Love Jihad.' Many dialogues relate to religion and leave the audience in laughs and thought-provoking moments. ... 'The Kerala Story' deserves a watch by all those who liked 'The Kashmir Files'. It's made in a bold and uncompromising manner..."

"The strategy of the Sangh Parivar administration led by Modi is to create division within secular society by screening the film ‘The Kerala Story’, which is a collection of untruth. Understanding that the politics of division cannot be used in Kerala, Sangh Pariwar using Doordarshan, a central government institution, for political gain cannot be accepted.” He further called the move “a flagrant violation of the election code of conduct.”"

"“The messages are becoming more intimidating and threatening and when staff were approached personally, we decided enough was enough,” the spokesman said... messages via email and social media are "just on the edge", but are experienced as intimidating. According to him, it was said, among other things, "we wouldn't want any hassle or violence at your doorstep, would we?"... After the film was shown in Utrecht, the Utrecht faction of the political party Denk aan asked the college to ensure that no more "hate-mongering and provocative films" are shown in Utrecht cinemas in the future... LAB-1 shows Indian films almost every week and wanted to show the film despite all the fuss. "We do this because of the international character of our audience." The cinema says it will now remove the film from its programming for safety reasons. We stand for a cultural diversity in which we are guided by artistic and creative expression. "Art and culture sometimes lead to controversial dilemmas. That is also part of culture and should be a reason for dialogue and discussion. Not for threats and intimidation.""

"The Kerala Story' on the silver screen in Eindhoven is like the healthy eye of Salman Rushdie, who continues to study the world."

"The decision by @DDNational to broadcast the film 'Kerala Story', which incites polarisation, is highly condemnable. The national news broadcaster should not become a propaganda machine of the BJP-RSS combine and withdraw from screening a film that only seeks to exacerbate communal tensions ahead of the general elections. Kerala will remain steadfast in opposing such malicious attempts to sow hatred."

"Politician Jitendra Awhad, member of the Nationalist Congress Party, stated that The Kerala Story is not based on facts, is right to be banned from screens, and went as far as to say that the producer should be "hanged in public." A shocking assertion (and the death of irony), considering that the film is being accused of inciting hatred and violence."

"Uncovering the truth that was kept hidden."

"STEVE: Jeez, and I never heard of him...."

"I work at the Pentagon, Sergeant, so I'll admit I'm a little slow on the uptake, otherwise I'd say that you just threatened me. Did you just threaten me, soldier? Because if you did, let me respond to you... [turns off tape recorder] Let me respond to you this way. I'm an officer, and therefore, by proclamation, a gentleman, but don't abuse that, son. Don't get in my crosshairs, because I'll have no compunction whatsoever about getting up to my neck in yo' ass. Do you understand me?"

"WALLACE: Well, they say here that when you went on a case, you stayed on it. (looks up at Steve.) Now we can't take every Nazi in this country to trial, although I would like to; it's an impossibility. So we're going for the big boys in industry, education, law, culture."

"WALLACE (U.S. Army four star general): He's as big as Toscanini, maybe even bigger. In this neck of the woods, he's probably Bob Hope and Betty Grable rolled into one."

"REICHSMINISTER: Dr. Furtwängler, I want to apologise personally for this power failure. I was so enjoying the performance. In times like these we need spiritual nourishment. A bomb explodes nearby. But I welcome this unexpected opportunity of talking to you. When you came on to the platform tonight, I thought you weren't well. You looked tired, (a warning) Get away from this bombing. Away from the war. Yes, you look tired...(a crooked smile) Even in this light. [bombing related power failure had just interrupted concert conducted by Furtwangler]"

"Sir, if you get a hangfire on your weapon, what do you do? You wait, with your weapon pointed in a safe direction, 'cause sometimes the primer bursts, and if you open the chamber it blows up in your face. Leave this round in the chamber, sir."

"A MAN'S VOICE: Look at them. Men, women, kids. Boy, did they love him. You see, Steve, Adolf Hitler touched something deep, real deep and savage and barbaric, and it won't just go away overnight. It's got to be rooted out. You know what I think? I think they were all Nazis. And let's face it, their leaders, those bastards now on trial in Nuremberg, couldn't have done it alone...."

"STEVE (U.S. Army major): Like this bandleader."

"Ned Vaughn - First Lieutenant Chelli"

"Sean Patrick Thomas - Sergeant Thompson"

"FURTWÄNGLER: What kind of a world do you want, Major? What kind of world are you going to make? Do you honestly believe that the only reality is the material world, so you will be left nothing, nothing but feculence... more foul-smelling than that which pervades your nights...How was I to understand, how was I to know what they were capable of? No one knew. No one knew. ..."

"Manny Pérez - Jenkins"

"Tim Guinee - Warrant Officer One A. Rady"

"Tim Ransom - Captain Boylar"

"STEVE'S VOICE: We handed Wilhelm Furtwängler over to the civil authorities and he was charged with serving the Nazi regime, with uttering anti-Semitic slurs, performing at an official Nazi Party function and with being a Prussian Privy Councillor. Dr. Furtwängler was acquitted. I didn't nail him. But I sure winged him. And I know I did the right thing.... Furtwängler resumed his career but he was never allowed to conduct in the United States. He died in 1954."

"Sean Astin - Sergeant Patella"

"Ken Jenkins - Joel Walden"

"Kathleen Widdoes - Geraldine Walden"

"Michael Moriarty - Brigadier General Hershberg"

"WALLACE: (a smile) Well, he's more than just a bandleader, Steve. He's a great conductor, a gifted artist. But we believe that he sold himself to the devil. Your number one priority from this moment on is to connect him to the Nazi Party. Don't be impressed by him. I want the folks back home to understand why we fought this war..."

"Željko Ivanek - Captain Ben Banacek"

"[to Monfriez, after she's been shot in the abdomen] I gave birth to a nine-pound baby, asshole. I think I can handle it."

"FURTWÄNGLER: I have always tried to analyse myself carefully and closely. In staying here, I believed I walked a tightrope between exile and the gallows. You seem to be blaming me for not having allowed myself to be hanged..."

"Scott Glenn - Tony Gartner"

"FURTWÄNGLER I didn't directly oppose the Party because I told myself, that was not my job. If I had taken any active part in politics I could not have remained here..."

"DYMSHITZ [Russian Colonel]: Let Furtwängler go. Please."

"STEVE[American Colonel]: I have a duty."

"DYMSHITZ: (flaring) Duty? I am sorry, duty? Duty f***ing duty. Trouble is, you Americans want everybody to live like you. We liberated Berlin, Major Steve, not you. Our duty also is to bring back the best of German culture."

"AMERICAN RADIO VOICE: Remember, men, no fraternisation. In a German town, if you bow to a pretty girl or pat a blond child, you bow to all that Hitler stood for. You bow to his reign of blood. You caress the ideology that meant death and destruction. You never know who was a member of the Nazi Party..."

"ARCHIVE FILM: Sanitary conditions were so appalling that heavy equipment had to be brought in to speed the work of cleaning up [thousands of corpses]..."

"ON THE SCREEN: piles of cadavers being bulldozed..."

"STEVE: I'm gonna get that f***ing bandleader, Colonel. No deal. No f***ing deal."

"INT. MAJOR STEVE ARNOLD'S BEDROOM (I945) - NIGHT Steve having a nightmare, twisting, turning, moaning. He wakes with a cry. He is sweating. He turns on the light, looks at a clock, reaches for a cigarette, lights it. He smokes. He stares at the ceiling."

"Matt Damon - Specialist Andrew Ilario"

"Lou Diamond Phillips - Staff Sergeant John Monfriez"

"Bronson Pinchot - Bruno, a White House aide"

"ARCHIVE FILM VOICE [U.S.Military education film] : That is the hand that dropped the bombs on defenceless Rotterdam, Brussels, Belgrade. That is the hand that destroyed the cities, villages and homes of Russia. That is the hand that held the whip over the Polish, Yugoslav, French and Norwegian slaves. That is the hand that took their food."
