Chapter 5 Reflection Q's:
1. How can a movie that takes place in a made-up world still tell a true story?
Movie worlds that have fantastical elements to them are merely suppositions or "suspending disbelief". They are there with full knowledge that they are not really. So instead of looking at this, you should look past to the story that the movie is actually telling, which could be a true story or a biblical story.
2. Is the real world the only world in which biblical morality matters?
No it is not, biblical morality is often present in many movies with made-up worlds such as Lord of the Rings or the Chronicles of Narnia.
3. Which movie genres can most effectively communicate biblical, moral themes? Why?
All movie genres can communicate biblical, moral themes. However, horror is probably the worst at communicating it as most people tend not to look past the blood and violence and to the story behind it. I personally think that Western movies communicate the most effectively with the base idea of 'good versus evil' and 'protecting the innocent'. These themes are very closely related to themes in the Bible.
