Revenge of the Bridesmaids
This week I watched Revenge of the Bridesmaids for the first time. My roommates showed it to me. When it was over, I asked myself, "why did I watch that whole thing?" I couldn't really think of one good thing in the whole movie. It depicted drinking as negative perhaps, but inevitable and portrayed sex as something that had no consequences. I was especially surprised by the contrast between the movie's promotion of revenge, hatred, getting even which contrasted so sharply with what I had been studying earlier this week about forgiveness, love, and healing.

I haven't seen that movie, but I love what you said about the contrast with what you are learning in real life and what you learned in that movie. Unfortunately, a lot of people don't get to learn the things you do about forgiveness, love, and healing and they are left with these messages of revenge, etc. Great post!
ReplyDeleteThis is exactly how I feel when I watch the Bachelor! Why do we conscientiously seek out shows and movies that go against what we really know to be true and that are totally uninspiring?
