A situation can only be as scary or horrific as the mind allows. When you put it into film though, you end up 'telling' people what to think or believe. So yes, that puts a huge amount of responsibility onto the shoulders of film makers, especially if you're trying to make a film with Christian morals / values! I think the thing that annoys me most about many Christian films though, is that it falls into the typical stereo-type of what people believe Christians to be. I agree with you Josh- characters often come across as weak and simplistic. That's not for the most part what I have experienced. Life, even with Christ, can often be messy and confusing and a challenge. I don't have any answers, but look forward to people tackling this issue!
