There are two movies that Christians have been buzzing about so far, this year. The first movie that Christians are finding themselves in discussion about is the latest Leonardo DiCaprio film under the direction of Martin Scorsese, Shutter Island. Many Christians are talking about this particular movie, not only because it was one of the biggest films of the season, but also due to the messages that are given off in the film. Many of those within the Christian community were impressed with the complexity of the film. The Christian community is known for finding favor in those things that provoke its community to think. Many within the Christian community feel as though we get so caught up in our daily routines, that we do not take the opportunity to step back and really assess life as they know it. It is safe to say that the movie, Shutter Island, provoked such thoughts.
The newer release that has many within the Christian community talking is the new film starring Miley Cyrus, The Last Song. The last movie was more of a thinker, this movie is more of a feeler. Christians all across the land said that they were able to feel so deeply when they watched this film. Some people within the Christian community were not as reluctant to see the movie in its opening week. Unless they had Christian families with children that were huge fans of Miley Cyrus, they did not run to the theater as fast to see the film. Even those Christian families that do have children that are quite fond of Miley Cyrus, they were not as reluctant to see the film at first. This is because many Christians were not sure that the movie was going to be the appropriate tone for small Christian children, based on some of the advertisements. But as the Christian reviews poured in and declared that the film actually had a deep message, many Christians lined up for a chance to see the movie themselves.
There are some scenes in the movie that, depending on the discretion of the Christian parents, are too racy for children, but many were impressed that these details all folded together in order to depict a rather powerful message. Christians were glad to see that the film touched on a number of issues that children can relate to. One of the elements that many Christians were proud was introduced from the opening of the film is divorce. The movie explored the different reactions that children feel when their parents are going to divorce, and how that feeling manifests itself in each child. Many Christians were also happy to see that the realm of culture was introduced to the movie in a very fundamental way. And that was through the gift of music, including singing, songwriting and instrument playing. Then there was a great deal of content that Christians enjoyed about love, our relationships, and the lessons that we learn as a result.
