The Movie: "SAVED!".

[crumbs2000]

Just saw this movie called "Saved!" and loved it. As the reviews say.."Nothing short of brilliant".

I know this has been out for a while, and maybe already been posted in this section already, but what are your opinions.

A Great watch!

You're not going to get many comments because christians seem to hate it.

Yeah, I didn't realise there was another thread. I want to either merge it or delete my thread. Not sure how to do both.
From the other thread, there wasn't much either, that's okay, just after a general commentary anyway.

If you want to do those things you can PM a mod who works in this forum.

For the record, I didn't mind "Saved". I mean, it was corny in parts, but it's not the worst movie I've seen.

What's there to hate about the movie? It reminds me of quite a lot of people I have met in the past. A lot of the christians who found the film offensive can't deny that there are a lot of those people around. I fail to see how being tolerant runs counter to the christian culture.

That's a shame he found it offensive, because it actually has a message for christians to be more tolerant of other people especially gays.

Ok I didn't watch the whole thing, but let me explain why I dispise it. The girl in the beginning sees "Jesus" underwater and she says that He wants her to have sex with her guy to make him feel closer to God (or something like that). There were other things I can't remember about them making fun of Christianity, but what really ticked me off was when they were in a "church service" and this girl was making fun of speaking in tongues. Making fun of the Holy Spirit speaking through us. I walked out of the room very disturbed and upset.

No one should make fun of Jesus.

No one should make fun of Jesus.

I take it you're not a huge fan of Life of Brian.

As to Saved, I couldn't finish watching it. I just didn't find much to connect to.

I didn't really like it but I have it in my DVD collection.

It wasn't that great of a movie, but it did a great job of exposing much that is wrong with pop-Christianity. I felt that it was a movie most Christians should see. But then I realized that most wouldn't get the point anyway. From the feedback on various boards, I was right.

As for the girl seeing Jesus underwater, similar visions have endebted many churches into building mortgages they never could afford. Everyday someone justifies adultry the same way. Many Christians have hated people because of unbiblical visions and even gone to war because of them.

Just look at the consequences of her "vision." Yet in the end God redeems the whole mess--just like in the real world. I still maintain that every Christian should see it with the perspective of allowing it to expose the hypocrisy in their own lives.

I saw it this week. I thought it was hilarious. I know sooooo many people exactly like the characters portrayed in the movie. The "message" at the end of the movie was very corny however.
