Have you ever seen the movie Dogma? If you have (and enjoyed it), then you will love Saved!. Like Dogma, it questions Christianity and the many levels people have taken it to make it their own. While Dogma used a comic satire to deliver its message, Saved! Stayed in the realms of reality. In one movie, it pushed Christian faith to a corner, dragging it through all the realities that will test any disciple: homosexuality, premarital sex, adultery, teenage pregnancy, rebellion. By the time you finish the movie, you realize that you’re not looking at a movie about Jesus freaks anymore. You’re witnessing the realities of life.
I turn back to the movie Dogma, for it delivers the same message. It wasn’t that God wants all of is to surrender our lives and worship him. He just wanted us to have a good idea about it all….about life.
I think that message goes beyond religion. And that makes it more powerful.
