Kind of film viewer are you?

When I view a film or a movie, I take note or reconsider the producers, directors or actors of the film. I reconsider the producer since it speaks a lot of the production and the techniques applied in the film, the producers also has to improve the quality of the film since their names are attached into it. Directors and actors are also considered since they are the primary players that portray how the film will look like to the viewer. Actors and directors gets the substance or the message across to the public viewer.
Also before I’m to watch a film, I somewhat researched about the story and the purpose why the film was made. I also get the opinions or comments of my trusted friends and mentors about what they can about the story and theme of the film.
The impact and uniqueness of the film is also a factor for my film viewing. I might do something else rather than view a film that is average or mediocre. There are some films that I particularly like because of the richness of the insights that they convey… e.g. Narnia, The Lord of the rings, Starwars, HarryPotter and many others. I also like films with social relevance or I might coined as realistic-films. I am much more interested with films that says something about societies’ problems and offering a solution.
Values and characters that shown by the film is also factors of me liking a film or not… core values such as love, honor, integrity, creativity, innovation and relevance. I don’t watch pornographic films now since I highly honored and valued the purity and morality of women. I don’t say I haven’t watched pornographic films before, I am saying that I have stopped watching since I became a Christian– when my life was truly transformed by the Lord from deep within.
Sometimes some people say “i want to transform the nation”, well in fact they couldn’t believe for a personal transformation for themselves. I believe that there will be a new moral and sexual revolution that will happen to the youth when we radically take a stand on real purity.
I could hardly believe how we could stand for freedom of violence and abuse for women if we ourselves couldn’t respect their dignity, purity and seeing their real value. If we are to see women with lustful eyes and thoughts, I think we have a great problem…that’s why its my conviction not to watch films that makes women an object of lust, abuse and sexual violence.
