RAMROD 117,334 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 He directed a lot of known, famous and infamous movies, includes; St. Elmo's Fire, The Lost Boys, Batman Forever, Batman & Robin, Flatliners, A Time To Kill, Phone Booth, Tigerland, among others. Joel Schumacher, costume designer-turned-director of films died in New York City on Monday morning after a year-long battle with cancer. He was 80. Schumacher was openly gaythroughout most of his career. According to Schumacher, this fact was purposely reflected as a statement in many of his films. When asked about God by BBC in 2014, he said that he believe there are greater being but he doesn't like being asked about it, saying, "I'm sort of in that school of that quote from Hamlet. "There's more in heaven and earth, Horatio." If you live long enough you will definitely get to understand that the universe is a profound mystery and I didn't create it. We're on this mud ball rolling around and I don't know where we are, and nobody knows where we are. I definitely believe that I'm not the highest form of intelligence in the universe. But I don't like to use the word God because it's so overused in the United States - not so much in Europe - but it's become politicised and has this ugly meaning now. Like asking someone if they believe in God has become an attack - like if you don't believe in Jesus you're not one of us! I loathe the use of God or any kind of spirituality as a form of discrimination or separation because that's a total misuse of it."
