Catholic visionary Maria Valtorta quoted Jesus as saying, "I am
wherever there is life or a manifestation of life. Wherever a wise
man meditates, a sculptor sculpts, a poet writes, ... I am there
together with Him from Whom I come. ... I am there with the Most
High Creator" (333).
John W. Whitehead, on "GOD AND FILM" writes, "In this chaotic age,
people are increasingly seeking something outside themselves to
give order and meaning to their lives. While painting once tackled
these questions, modern film now addresses this search, which
inevitably includes the subject of God. Of all the artistic forms
throughout the ages, film may be the most suitable forum for the
discussion of religion and God" (267).
If Jesus is in all works of art, and especially in film, then
movies should yield that influence through comparison with the
Bible. Such I have tried to do in these my reviews, updated weekly,
by including an Ideology section in each of them. I don't
have a particular point to make other than finding a biblical
comparison most apropos to the material.
I follow standard content ratings for a Christian in line with
(I Cor. 10:27-28) "If any of them that believe not bid
you to a feast, and ye be disposed to go; whatsoever is set
before you, eat, asking no question for conscience sake. But if
any man say unto you, This is offered in sacrifice unto idols, eat
not for his sake that shewed it, and for conscience sake: for the
earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof." The feast for eyes
is a movie and the invite is per age group and/or caution. If
you're disposed to see it and are old enough or receiving
guidance, be my guest and just ignore the objectionable parts.
Don't get all worked up over what's best ignored.
Nature vs nurture is put to the test when wilding babes
encounter doctor Do-Good.
