Film Comments So far

Up to this point, I have posted film comments on the following films and film subjects: Beauty and the Beast; The Big Picture; Bollywood, Nollywood, Hollywood; The Book of Eli; Duel; Christian Comments on Films; The Christian Film Database; Crash Test; The 400 Blows; God Told Me To; The Greatest Gift; The Green Pastures; Harry Potter and The Order of the Phoenix; I Am Curious (Blue); I Am Curious (Yellow); Ink; Island of Despair; Island of Lost Souls; Its the End of the World ...; Jesus Christ, Vampire Hunter; Juno Whips It; Kike Like Me; The Man Who Could Work Miracles; Over and Over Again, With Variations; Quid Pro Quo; A Quote from Constantine; Rabbit; The Red Balloon; Satan: Prince of Darkness; Screen Door Jesus; Time Bandits; Tremors; Vegas in Space; Video Fireplace; Watermelon Man;  What Does It Mean?: Why Jesus Spoke in Parables; Why Should the Devil Have All the Good Music?; The Wild Dogs; Wise Advice from Forrest; and, Woman in the Dunes.  Some of them, like Video Fireplace, Vegas in Space, and Jesus Christ, Vampire Hunter are really not worth your trouble.  Some, like The Red Balloon, Duel, The 400 Blows, The Green Pastures, and Island of Lost Souls are essential views for film enthusiasts.  Most are available for rental from Netflix or for purchase from Movies Unlimited.  I have no financial connection with either of these businesses except as a customer.  You may have guessed that I am a film geek; I have so far viewed 6306 films.

Most films are made by non-Christians but that doesn't mean that they have nothing to say to us. I believe that a Christian can derive insights even from films made by non-Christians; even from films which are anti-Christian. Films can present positive and negative demonstrations to us of religious and philosophical concepts, sometimes intentionally and sometimes unintentionally. All of my film comments interpret the films in light of a Christian worldview. Sometimes the interpretation I derive from a film may not reflect the original intentions of the filmmaker.
