There has recently been talk on film-related Christian webpages regarding so-called "Christian films". From what I can gather, these kinds of films (the more Hollywood kind, not the indie-like evangelistic films) are films that have "Christian values" and are made to be more "clean" and "wholesome" etc. I haven't seen many of these films, except Amazing Grace, which contained the odd use of the word "bloody", but I didn't hear complaints and when I read about this kind of thing on the Internet, most if not all of the complaining about content and values etc. come from American websites.
That is not to say I am anti-American, certainly not. I am in support of the Christians who are willing to look at films as art and base their opinions on the artistry rather than how "clean" they are.
Today, I received a book I ordered written by John Fischer and called Fearless Faith, which discusses the "safe Christian subculture" and how we are not to live in that way. I think this should be the way forward and I intend to read this book and see how I can apply the ideas to how to be a Christian in the real world.
