Download Hollywood Worldviews: Watching Films with Wisdom & Discernment AudioBook Free
Would you watch films with your eye open? You get your seat tickets and concessions, and you head into the theater. Celluloid images flash at 24 frames per second, and the hypnotic collection of moving pictures coaxes one to suspend disbelief and be entertained by the implausible. However, many often suspend their values as well, succumbing to subtle lessons in how to respond, think, and even understand reality. Would you find yourself wishing a sister will succeed in seducing her sibling's man a thief are certain to get away along with his crime, a serial killer will get away judgment? Would you, too, have a good laugh at the bumbling priest and seethe at the intolerant and abusive evangelist? Would you accept worldviews that infect your beliefs and then question, after your head is clear, whether your beliefs can survive the infection? In this extensively revised and updated edition of his popular booklet, Brian Godawa books you through the area of redemption in film, the stunts screenwriters use to talk their text messages, and the mental and religious discipline necessary for watching films. Hollywood Worldviews helps you get into a dialogue with Hollywood that causes a happier ending, one that retains you aware of your culture and awake to your beliefs.
