Movie Reviews of Saved!
Movie Review: GREAT SATIRE on religious zealots
Summary: 5 Stars
Fun, irreverent, ironical, it's obsessive in its attempt to "tear down" a certain incarnation of religious fanaticism.
The uproar it generated in its country is understandable; only some of its compositions (cadgrages) are claiming for an excommunication :).
It's still a commercial movie, even if in an unconventional way. Like "American beauty". Unlike films like "Storytelling", which do not "shy away after screaming" and truly honour cinema.
Everybody will have his "preferred characters";
I choose "Hilary's gang of rejects" (Matarazzo and Thai). And, of course, "Cassandra" *(name !).
Some days the "bad guys" will have good lines too, and the "good ones" won't be that perfect. Until the day big studios realize, we still have a film with guts. Specially in this times of intolerance.
That's why I give it a 5, when it probably deserves one star less for the "Shirley Mc Laine" sort of ending :).
Movie Review: Too Close To The Truth For Many Brainwashed Christians!
Summary: 5 Stars
Well I went to a "Christian" school in my youth. I remember a teacher wrote a note home to my parents because I mentioned that one fidgety child had "ant's in his pant." What sickness must have been present in this teacher's mind to think that my mind could ever have been as dark as hers?
I also remember one daring group of Seniors went to see a Van Halen concert and they were promptly suspended.
In highschool we were told about Satanic music to avoid. The teacher was trying to tell us how bad Led Zeppelin is - but instead of refering to Zeppelin as a band, the teacher would say: Yeah, Zeppelin, his music is really bad." They didn't even know a thing about Led Zeppelin, kind of like a lot of people here who profess to be Christians - yet clearly they are not being honest about having watched this movie. The funny thing is many of the negative reviewers seem reminiscent of characters right out of the movie itself. HOW FUNNY!
Movie Review: One of the Greatest Movies Ever Made
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is such a great film. Aside from it being absolutely hilarious, I found many things in this movie beautiful; cassandra/roland's relationship, patrick fugit/jenna malone's relationship, the growth of jenna's character, and all the important statements made by patrick fugit's character. I was so happy to see all the young teens of the film making important statements that many of us youngsters can learn from. I really learned a lot about myself and others by learning from all the themes this film has to offer. Notice, most of the people that have bashed this movie are hard core Christians that are shallow enough to be offended by this movie instead of realizing the more important aspect. So it jokes about christian faith. So what? Grow up. There are many other movies that poke fun at things that are a part of me, too. If you are a strong believer of christian faith, and are touchy about the subject...then this film is not for you.Movie Review: I wish I could give it 6 stars
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is hilarious. It's definitely dark humor. So if you're super religious or don't like or get dark humor movies - don't watch this. But if sarcastic and witty movies are you're thing, you HAVE to see this. I'd recommend it to anyone (who isn't overly sensitive to jokes about religion).
I've noticed lots of people saying that if this movie were about any other religion besides christianity people wouldn't stand for it. ( "People would riot if Islam was made fun of this way " or "I don't see any movies making fun of Judism.") Do you know why people don't make funny movies about other religions? Because no other religion is so showy.
Worship shouldn't be about making sure others see how religious you are. Christianity is about Love not pageantry.
This movie shows how so many people get wrapped up in "religious life" that they forget being spiritual and being religious are two different things.
Movie Review: I love it
Summary: 5 Stars
First of all, I do not think it was "poking fun" at the Christian relgion. Maybe other people do, but you need to not take it so seriously. It's a movie, get over it. I thought it was excellent. The cast was great. The movie was very funny (in my opinion). I found myself laughing a lot throughout the movie. And I think that it teaches some good morals. I particularly liked this quote: If god made us all so different, why would he want us to be the same. I don't really see how this movie made fun of the christian religion. You reviewers are taking it too seriously. It's a fun movie for teens, it's not supposed to be some ground breaking religious movie. And you people giving it bad reviews because you think it is "anti-christian" just ruins the movie and takes the fun out of it.
I am going to repeat myself and say that it is just a movie and it should not be taken so seriously.
5/5
