Movies Change Faster than Cultures
January 28, 2007 by Dr. Mc.
Though Mel Gibson was ignored at the Oscars in 2004, it is obvious he was not ignored at the box office. Movies such as The Passion and Lord of the Rings awakened the movie industry to the neglected Moral Market. Now they are flooding the theaters with quality the likes of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and One Night with the King. Soon we will see Amazing Grace and The Last Sin Eater. Such public heavy weights as Chuck Colson and Cal Thomas are telling Evangelicals to go support these products. I hope that support is there, but going to the movies should not become a new Christian obligation. I hope Hollywood allows for the gradual shifting of a culture that has for more than a generation been taught to find entertainment elsewhere.
