Like bringin...Oh Dave, Movies can be used for good. Like bringing to light issues that ordinary people like you and I face everyday ie death,growing old,faith,hope,. Movies are a powerful medium that can reach an enormous audience. Now, do not I repeat do not misinterpret that statement with the thought of winning people to Christ with movies. That in itself is not wrong, but if you sacrifice the art for the cause, to push propaganda, you destroy the art form. This is where Christians go wrong, and people know when there getting pushed and they don't particularly like it. We probably disagree on the higher calling (witnessing or artistic calling) (I had a class on the Artists Vocation, from a devout Catholic teacher who converted to Catholicism after highschool.)<BR/><BR/>Now I know I was hard on Christians, but non-Christians in Hollywood also do this. And thats where you get some filthy movies. When a movie is made for the wrong reasons, usually money, and the Art form of filmmaking is destroyed, the movie is crap. Not all movies are crap because of there filth. Boondock Saints by any southern baptist standards, is a movie straight from the pit of fire and brimstone, but when you get past that, you find a movie that has a strong message and great story. Any movie that makes you think about it in the shower the next morning has done its jobPhilip Carrelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17830022734968603864noreply@blogger.com
