Wall*E and Christian Art

This absurdly long Wall*E review is... well... absurdly long. But have a read. It outlines the perfections of all the Pixar movies and explains why Wall*E doesn't quite cut it. Interestingly...

"Pixar has been undone by a great old truth: If you’re more concerned with getting your message across than you are concerned about telling a great story, you’re screwed. I mentioned that I grew up an Evangelical Christian. I also grew up a movie nerd. These two realities were interesting bedfellows.

Every once in awhile, some group of Christians would pool some money and make a movie.

Christian movies suck. Know why? If you’re more concerned with getting your message across than you are concerned about telling a great story, you’re screwed. Ironically, this is why I believe Jesus was successful as a preacher. He told stories with hidden meanings, allowing his listeners to make the connections themselves.

Good point. And not just about movies. Songs (even congregational songs), poems, novels...

Agree?
