I thought that some of "the excluded" might feel as you do. That's why I posted this. This movie is not an evangelical production and it is definitely not meant as entertainment. it is a worshipful experience for believers.
This movie is not the starting point for non-believers, and it won't be a big hit with the social Christians either. So if anyone feels excluded they should go see another movie.
Hmm... I'm not sure there is an "excluded," anymore than someone would be "excluded" from the movie version of
Rosencranz & Guildenstern are Dead by not being familiar with
Hamlet. Or from
Bob Roberts if they're not already a left-winger.
There's a lot of movies that assume a certain mindset on the part of the audience. That doesn't excluded the excluded from seeing, commenting, and even getting something out of it. But that does change the viewpoint.
I spent some time as a music reviewer on folk-music website. As a libertarian/conservative, a lot of folk music did not appeal to my beliefs, but I taught myself (successfully, I think) to learn to recognize good music of a style and/or politics I didn't care for. I think I can apply the same thinking to this movie, if I see it.
