I enjoyed the films about God and stuff, but I was more entertained by the prospective students doing eye rolls as their parents trailed in behind them. I've never envisioned myself making films with christian themes such as The Apostle or Cinema Paradiso, even though I know that's the core idea of this class. I don't think I'm called to make my own films, especially not ones where I'd subtly share about my faith. I think I still have a lot more growing to do as a christian before I take on that task. But I'm still young, and who knows what God will lead me to do in my career.

The clip from The Apostle was really enjoyable because it played on the humorous relationship between the boy and the preacher with their raised voices and italian language. I was involved in the clip, and the storyline intrigued me, so I plan on watching the full movie in the near future (hopefully this weekend).

I'm still deciding whether I'm up to the challenge of being a christian in the film industry. I would much rather work on the next mainstream film and keep my mouth shut, but I know that I'll have the responsibility to live out my faith if I get the opportunity. Leeper closed by saying that christians should have a quieter, learned influence on others, rather than an in-your-face-I-know-everything approach. It's up to us if we as christians are to have a say in the film industry.
