You know I was really interested in hearing your response mainly because of your 70 x 7 name. I was really just messing with you but you handled it pretty well (though I think you take me way too seriously). All in all, I think movies, being art, are very personal.
P.S. I'm a sister in Christ so I don't want any hard feelings on here. Shalom.
I enjoy movies for various reasons. Sometimes it's a guilty pleasure (action films, video comic books and the like) and sometimes it is an exploration of the human (fallen) condition. Even when it comes to the "comics" sometimes I am pleasantly surprised (Spiderman 1) and sometimes disgusted (Daredevil).
The village is so worthy of discussion because of the depth it has that was so badly mishandled in order to get that trademark MNS twist. The rich symbolism, the internal conflicts, the tension of the elders trying desperately to strike a balance between what is best for the group vs. the individual, etc. These were all traded away for the non-"surprise" at the end. To me it was a sad trade. I'll likely rent it for my younger son to see when it's on video, maybe it will improve with my attention redirected (but then that was one of my criticisms of the film).
All in all it is now very difficult to find a film that includes our world view. Most of the time the best I can accomplish w/ my kids is to use a film (after checking reviews @ Christian spotlight on the movies) as a springboard to discussions about key areas they will be dealing w/ as they grow to adults. Signs was so so as a film, but the faith message was amazing (although rather heavy handed); we talked quite a bit after that one. If you know of any good rentals drop me a note.
