DojoGrant Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 I just caught this trailer of a new movie called Saved...which seems extremely irreverent towards Christ and Christians in general. Nothing new in Hollywood. Except that it stars Mandy Moore has been quite the posterchild for Christianity in Hollywood lately and is listed as a Catholic on this website. [url="http://www.apple.com/trailers/mgm/saved/medium.html"]http://www.apple.com/trailers/mgm/saved/medium.html[/url] If you have the time, watch the trailer, and let me know your thoughts. I'm not pleased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littleflower+JMJ Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 [img]http://www.savedmovie.com/images/2b.gif[/img] horrific movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DojoGrant Posted March 12, 2004 Author Share Posted March 12, 2004 Did you watch the preview? The denegration of the name of Jesus seems very prevalent, even by Moore herself. Granted, its a preview and not the whole movie, so it could be misconstrued...but that'd be some of the worst I've ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
God Conquers Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 Ya, that looks like it's garbage. I was dissappointed with Moore's last movie too. My sis is a huge fan of her's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littleflower+JMJ Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 yes i agree, i do not like how they are just throwing Jesus' name around and giving a very bad image of being "christian" i do not like it. at all :shame: im also disappointed in mandy moore. -_- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thy Geekdom Come Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 It seemed to me that it was making fun of the stereotypical fundamentalist...but if you attack one Christian, you attack us all! I thought that Mandy Moore was very good in "A Walk to Remember", though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DojoGrant Posted March 12, 2004 Author Share Posted March 12, 2004 I definitely agree that it is attacking fundamentalism, and moreso, the type that will do anything to draw young people in on that emotional high. However, non-Christians will not know this, and even some Catholics. If it is meant to shake our faith, its doing so in the wrong direction.

thicke Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 I'd like to point that we complained about people putting down [i]The Passion of The Christ[/i] before they had actually seen it. Now, I am not defending the movie in any way. I am just saying we should practice what we preach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] oh of course i haven't seen it, i was talking about the storyline. a girl gets cast out and ridiculed by the good girls at a christian school when they find out she is pregnant. :shame: theres alot of movies that i already know are bad without having to watchign them first, but im just being skeptical of this one thats all but maybe im wrong? i dont know, just going by what the movie is based on i guess i just dont trust what kind of movies hollywood makes :ph34r: the movie is coming out this spring, so i'll then be able read reviews and stuff on it. personally, on seeing the movie, i dont think i am.

Then I almost felt bad when I saw he played a kid in a wheelchair. But then I didn't feel bad because all I could picture him doing was slapping his hands to his face and screaming.
