I’d rather sort out the oft unintended natural thematic messages of a basically good story. These Christian films are like watching Obama lecture West Point Grads.

‘Killers’ -an allegory about attacks on the family; ‘Legally Blonde; ‘Band of Brothers’; On the Waterfront’; ‘Jaws’; ‘Shooter’; any Shakespeare; ‘Lone Survivor; ‘the Blind Side’...

This of course is a huge challenge. They are LIV for a reason after all. They don’t pay attention.

Take a movie like “Amazing Grace”, high production value, great true story, distribution, music etc, and there is virtually no follow on traction that could be measured in a way that would suggest the meaning or message was ever heard. The folks that went to the theater knew what they were getting. Kinda like preaching to the choir.

The subtlety required to even begin to get these, LIV’s, to think for themselves must hit a “Fundamental” truth that will/may shift their perspective on everything else.
