This will be a monster hit. Kirk Cameron has taken a lot of ridicule and verbal abuse for his faith and his commitment to Christ. Guess who wins when you rely on Christ?
This is where I hope that my "criticism" isn't taken the wrong way. I LOVE these movies. But the writing and movie making of Braveheart, Blackhawk Down, Breaker Morant, American Flyer, St. Ralph, Marcelino Pan y Vino (has english subtitles) and a couple of others show in a deeper way things about faith and love of something greater than yourself.
I just like what CS Lewis said in "Mere Christianity"... something to the effect of "we don't need Bishops and Clergy writing our plays or becoming economists, but we need the best playwrights and economist that are Christians to show their faith in their best efforts."
We need to encourage the producers, directors, actors, stage hands, editors, heck studio heads that we are hungering for inspirational movies and programs like "Touched by an Angel" or I forget what that other show was where God appeared to a high school student.
The more they work, the better they'll get at their craft.
I can't explain it, but the "look" of the movie has a made for TV "cleanness" about it. Maybe someone of our fellow Freepers can explain the "look" of video/movie etc...
