Ok.

I'm going to see it this weekend most likely. I've read a lot of reviews and synopses about it. Seems very good.

Anyone here seen it? If so, what were your thoughts? The film itself, the way the subject matter was handled, and all that.

:devil:

PS: I love the tag..."Love is a force of nature"

My wife and I will forcefully "pass" on that one. WE did the same thing in 1990 with the other movie about glamourized ADULTRY, "Bridges of Madison County."

Sin is sin. And adultry messes with the mystery of God revealed to man--Christ and the Church.

My wife knows better, and has strong feelings! Life shows people's lives messed up by unfaithfulness, divorce, abandonment. The lesson is too convincing to pretend otherwise.

A movie with wickedness-glamourized and no fallout (truth not winning in the end) is no entertainment for Christians. (I read several days of ListServe debate on this movie.)

We will be having a Valentines' Party with other couples from our Church.

Cheating on someone ruins both lives. If thats "Love" I'll pass...

heh...

Seein' it tomorrow.

Perhaps it'll be just as "entertaining" as Crash was.

I'll give my perspectives this weekend, if I can.

We'll see...

The newest mantra:

God graciously FINDS us meaningful when God doesn't need to do it and we, in ourselves, can't do it.

"Hmm. Why not? What the hell. Let's try it."

Go see it, as an ordained minister -- I thought you were.

And as a recently ordained friend relates good advice he received... You can NEVER separate the calling from your actions. The "office" is what people will see and hear. Be responsible to that office.

Come back with a thoroughly and consistently Christiain critique.

Something the angels can say amen to.
