It's Tough being Green

This month is going to be a discussion on the movie Shrek. There appears to be an animated theme beginning here, but please let me assure you that this by accident not an agenda. But animated films offer us a unique experience in that everything you see had to be created by a designer so everything in film was put there on purpose. So keep that in mind when you see that beg green ogre lumbering across your screen. Now let me give you some question to consider when watching this film this month:
1. What is the theme of this moive?
2. What is the plot?
3. Are they different?
4. Why do you think the story uses fairytale characters?
5. Does this make the movie more or less accesiable and understandable?
6. (for you film buffs) what film techniques does the director use well? what techniques fall flat on their faces?
7. Did you enjoy the film?
Seven is a good number to stop at because now you can take a week to anwer the set; answering one question a day. Stay busy, stay true, stay close to God.
