Show Notes

TV and film are worldview propaganda.

No one is just telling a story.

Questions to ask with your kids

• Where or who is God?
• What confusing
• What’s missing

When watching a movie, ask yourself (from screenwriter and movie critic, Brian Godawa) [also works for books].

• “What is the character flaw of the hero at the beginning?”
• “What makes him change his mind in the story about the way he sees the world?”
• “What does he learn about the way life ought or ought not be lived?”
• “What is different about the way he sees the world at the end from the way he sees it at the beginning?”
