Do you watch movies with your eyes open? You buy your tickets and
concessions, and you walk into the theater. Celluloid images flash
at twenty-four frames per second, and the hypnotic sequence of
moving pictures coaxes you to suspend disbelief and be entertained
by the implausible. Unfortunately, many often suspend their beliefs
as well, succumbing to subtle lessons in how to behave, think and
even perceive reality. Do you find yourself hoping that a sister
will succeed in seducing her sibling's husband, that a thief will
get away with his crime, that a serial killer will escape judgment?
Do you, too, laugh at the bumbling priest and seethe at the
intolerant and abusive evangelist? Do you embrace worldviews that
infect your faith and then wonder, after your head is clear,
whether your faith can survive the infection? In this thoroughly
revised and updated edition of his popular book, Brian Godawa
guides you through the place of redemption in film, the tricks
screenwriters use to communicate their messages, and the mental and
spiritual discipline required for watching movies.Hollywood
Worldviews helps you enter a dialogue with Hollywood that leads to
a happier ending, one that keeps you aware of your culture and
awake to your faith.
