About the film:

Movie Quote:
"Love is not a feeling. It’s an ability."
Dan Burns (Steve Carell) in Dan in Real Life (2007)
Bible Quote:
“A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.”
John 15:12 (KJV)
Commentary:
Love is often confused (as it is in this film) for a feeling. People who desperately desire love tend to mistake it for the first tingling sensation they receive. Lust, infatuation, fear, even hunger have all been confused at one time or another for man’s concept of love. The great reality of love is far richer and goes much deeper than any “feeling.”
Dan is superficially correct. Love is an ability. But he stops short at arriving at the truth. For although God granted all of us the ability to love, many of us never achieve it. Love is, above all else, a free-will choice. Each of us has the ability to choose to love or choose not to love. We can also choose to accept love or choose to reject it.
God defines love in a simple and straightforward manner. “And this is love, that we walk after His commandments.” (2 John 1:6) It is a choice that we make. It may not be signaled with a tingling sensation; it may not come in on floods of emotion; it may not even be reciprocated. But love, as God defines it, is the crux of creation. It is the meaning for our existence. And knowing that love is a choice that we make… applicable to any relationship we choose to enter… should change the way we approach those relationships.
Feelings come and go. Love can and should be a constant… in our hearts… in our minds… and in our lives.
Questions to consider while watching the film:
1. Is there such a thing as “love at first sight?” Why or why not?
2. If love is not a “feeling,” what causes the feelings we experience and how do we protect ourselves from their effects?

VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA (1961)
Directed by: Irwin Allen
Written by: Irwin Allen, Charles Bennett
Studio: 20th Century Fox
Starring: Walter Pidgeon, Joan Fontaine, Barbara Eden
Rated: PG
About the film:
When the Van Allen radiation belt catches fire, the admiral of a new atomic powered submarine takes decisive action. His plan is to launch nuclear missiles into the belt thus putting out the flames. He has plenty of obstacles to overcome: his plan is not authorized; his crew is close to mutiny; and there’s a saboteur on board his vessel.
Movie Quote:
“If God ordains that man should die without a fight, then why does He give us the will to live?”
Admiral Nelson (Walter Pidgeon) in Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea (1961)
Bible Quote:
“This day I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live.”
Deuteronomy 30:19 (NIV)
Commentary:
There are a lot of things that can be said about death – that it is God’s will for us is not among them. In 1 Corinthians, death is called an “enemy;” in Hebrews we read that the “power of death” belongs to the devil; in other sections of the Bible death has been given these descriptive attributes: “terrors,” “sorrows,” “snares,” and “a sting.” In Proverbs we even see that death is costly to God.
As God’s children, we have been given the greatest privilege and responsibility in the world. We are to serve as His hands, feet, and voice with our whole hearts, souls, minds, and strength. We are to sound out with His truth as we live our lives to their fullest. Quite simply, we cannot fulfill that purpose when we are dead.
Jesus Christ willingly gave up his life for a single reason… that we might live. The payment of his ultimate sacrifice need not be made again by us. Our sacrifice is to be a living sacrifice and is paid through our obedience to our heavenly Father’s will.
While death is certainly inevitable and will come to all of us (should our Lord tarry), it need not be feared. Neither is death to be welcomed as a friend. As long as we have strength to resist, we should choose life. It is the choice God would have us make.
Questions to consider while watching the film:
1. Why did death originally come into this world? What was the cause and what was the source?
2. Admiral Nelson is single-mindedly determined to carry out his plan and will consider no other options even though many are opposed to his proposal. How can we tell the difference between acting with conviction and just being stubborn or unreasonable?

BILOXI BLUES (1988)
Directed by: Mike Nichols
Written by: Neil Simon
Studio: Universal Studios
Starring: Matthew Broderick, Christopher Walken, Corey Parker
Rated: PG-13
About the film:
The sequel to Neil Simon’s autobiographical play, Brighton Beach Memoirs, this film traces Eugene’s military training as he endures boot camp in Biloxi, Mississippi under the watchful eye of a borderline psychotic drill sergeant.
Movie Quote:
“You’re always sanding around watching what’s happening, scribbling in your book what other people do. You have to get in the middle of it. You have to take sides. Make a contribution in the fight. Any fight. The one you believe in.”
Arnold Epstein (Corey Parker) in Biloxi Blues (1988)
Bible Quote:
“I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot I wish you were either one or the other: So, because you are lukewarm – neither hot nor cold – I am about to spit you out of my mouth.”
Revelation 3:15-16 (NIV)
Commentary:
When Epstein confronts Eugene because the latter is always commenting in his journal but never participating in the events about which he writes, it serves as a wake-up call and turning point for the young writer. It should do the same for us.
Throughout the Bible, God exhorts us to make choices – A choice between good and evil; a choice between right and wrong; a choice between life and death. It should be noted that not making a choice is, in reality, a choice unto itself. But it is not a choice that will bring us God’s blessings or benefits.
Spiritually speaking, if we straddle the fence or try to stay neutral regarding life and what we believe, we place ourselves in a weak and untenable position. We completely remove ourselves from the protective covering of God which makes us vulnerable to our enemy’s attacks. It is not what God wants for us.
We have been given a tremendous purpose and responsibility. We have not been called by God to be observers of this life. Instead, He desires that we become active participants in the spiritual competition of life. As we grow in our believing and in our knowledge and understanding we can make greater and more meaningful contributions to the fight. To make the most of this life we have been given, we have to take ourselves off of the sidelines and get in the game.
Questions to consider while watching the film:
1. What is the main reason people have for not making a choice on important issues? How might we combat that tendency in ourselves?
2. What was the main reason Eugene changed?

APT PUPIL (1998)
Directed by: Bryan Singer
Written by: Brandon Boyce
Studio: Tristar Pictures
Starring: Ian McKellan, Brad Renfro, Bruce Davison
Rated: R
About the film:
A teenage boy suspects his neighbor of being a Nazi war criminal. He confronts him and promises to keep his identity a secret if the old man would tell him stories of the atrocities that took place in the concentration camps. The more he hears, the more his behavior changes.
Movie Quote:
“Like Icarus, we too have been given gifts: knowledge, education, experience. And with these gifts comes the responsibility of choice. We alone decide how our talents are bestowed upon the world.”
Todd Bowden (Brad Renfro) in Apt Pupil (1998)
Bible Quote:
“We have different gifts, according to the grace given us. If a man’s gift is prophesying, let him use it in proportion to his faith. If it is serving, let him serve; if it is teaching, let him teach.”
Romans 12:6-7 (NIV)
Commentary:
Young Todd Bowden’s comment is a small premonition that hints of the tragedy that awaits him. Each of us has certain “gifts” or “long suits.” We also have the free will to use them, abuse them, or totally ignore them. Todd chooses poorly and his life suffers as a result.
Just because someone gives someone else a gift does not guarantee that it will be used or used well. That is an option left entirely to the receiver. The giver of the gift may have all the best intentions and expectations, but it is the receiver who has the choice whether or not to put the gift to use and in what fashion.
Spiritually, God has given us the best gift of all. We have received His gift of holy spirit. This one gift has the power to impact and affect every single thing we do or say in this world… if we but choose to use it in accordance with our faith or believing.
As the giver, God’s job in this particular transaction is done. We already have his gift. It is a gift that is unique and specifically designed for us in mind. All that remains is for us to make the decision – what are we going to do with it?
Questions to consider while watching the film:
1. Consider the film in light of 1 Corinthians 15:33. How does this scripture apply to the film’s story?
2. What are some of the exhortations that God gives us through His Word that instructs us how to utilize what He has given us?

STAR TREK (2009)
Directed by: J.J. Abrams
Written by: Roberto Orci, Alex Kurtzman
Studio: Paramount Pictures
Starring: Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Bruce Greenwood
Rated: PG-13
About the film:
Star Trek cleverly reinvents itself and breathes new life into an all-too familiar franchise. The origins of Kirk, Spock, Scotty and the rest of the crew of the USS Enterprise are explored and explained as they once again find themselves on a mission to save the universe.
Movie Quote:
“You will always be a child of two worlds, and fully capable of deciding your own destiny. The question you face is: which path will you choose?”
Sarek (Ben Cross) in Star Trek (2009)
Bible Quote:
“That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.”
John 3:6 (KJV)
Commentary:
The unique lineage of Star Trek’s Mr. Spock which had him internally warring with himself was what made him such a compelling and popular figure. But perhaps it wasn’t all that unique – aren’t we all children of two worlds?
On the one hand, we are the children of our mother and father and are raised in a world with physical rules and laws which are ingrained in us from birth. On the other hand, we are also children of our heavenly father and are granted spiritual life with its own set of rules and laws which we can learn about through study of God’s Word.
We must learn, as Spock did, how to control certain tendencies which are attributed to our natural or earthly manner in order to adopt the tendencies appropriate to us as God’s children and His ambassadors on earth.
Questions to consider while watching the film:
1. What leadership qualities did Kirk have that made him the right person to sit in the captain’s chair?
2. If your future self could visit you today, what advice do you think he or she would have?

THE APOSTLE (1997)
Directed by: Robert Duvall
Written by: Robert Duvall
Studio: October Films
Starring: Robert Duvall, Farrah Fawcett, Billy Bob Thornton
Rated: PG-13
About the film:
A preacher from Texas decides to begin a new life, mainly because he is running from an old life that has gone bad. He lands in Louisiana, declares himself reborn and starts afresh, preaching on the radio and restoring an old church. Even as it looks as if he is beginning to have an impact upon his new community, the sins of his past begin to catch up with him.
Movie Quote:
“I’d rather die today and go to heaven than live to be a hundred and go to hell.”
Euliss “Sonny” Dewey (Robert Duvall) in The Apostle (1997)
Bible Quote:
“Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere: I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the wicked.”
Psalms 84:10 (KJV)
Commentary:
Sonny’s declaration is a noble one. Oftentimes people get so caught up in the trappings of this world that they lose their perspective. The reality is that our time on this earth is but a drop in the bucket of eternity in which we’ll be swimming.
While on this earth, our life is filled with choices. The most important one we’ll ever make is how we will spend the eternity that has been promised us. That isn’t a decision we can put off until we get there.
There’s only one way to ensure our entrance into heaven. His name is Jesus Christ. As it says in Romans 10, when we confess him as Lord and believe that God raised him from the dead, we are saved. From that moment on, we are citizens of heaven, serving as ambassadors for Christ here on earth. Our passage to an eternity with God our Father has been secured and cannot be lost. When Christ returns a second time, he will come to gather those who will be joining him and his Father throughout all eternity.
Over two thousand years ago, Jesus Christ purchased a ticket to heaven for every man, woman, and child who came after him. But that ticket is not forced upon us. It needs to be claimed. Romans 10:9-10 tells us how. Simple logic should tell us when. Claiming a ticket after the train has left the station does a body no good at all.
Questions to consider while watching the film:
1. Is Sonny a man of God or a false preacher? Why or why not?
2. What scenes best evoke the Christian walk and mindset? Why?

THE ALAMO (1960)
Directed by: John Wayne
Written by: James Edward Grant
Studio: United Artists
Starring: John Wayne, Richard Widmark, Laurence Harvey
Rated: Not Rated
About the film:
The Alamo tells the story of the brave men who defended a small position against the far superior force of the Mexican general, Santa Anna. Although the possibility of success was nonexistent, this small handful of men decided to stay and fight against overwhelming odds.
Movie Quote:
"There’s right and there’s wrong. You got to do one or the other. You do the one and you’re living. You do the other and you may be walking around, but you’re dead as a beaver hat.”
Davy Crockett (John Wayne) in The Alamo (1960)
Bible Quote:
“Dear friend, do not imitate what is evil but what is good. Anyone who does what is good is from God. Anyone who does what is evil has not seen God.”
1 John 1:11 (NIV)
Commentary:
God willing, we will never have to make the kind of choices the men in The Alamo had to face. But we should not fool ourselves… life is all about choices. We make them every day. We have a God who has granted us the right to have free will. He lets us know what He desires for our lives but the ultimate decision or choice is ours. If we choose poorly, we set our lives on a course that has no destination… at least no destination worth reaching. When we choose well, we choose life. And as God has promised us, it is a life more than abundant.
The nice thing about truth is that it is not dependent upon the verbal skills of the one delivering it. Truth is truth… whether it is presented by a man in an Armani suit or some Tennessee backwoodsman in a coonskin cap. Whenever we follow truth or the “right way,” we receive the blessings and protection of a loving God. When we resist the truth and choose the wrong way, we receive the consequences of our actions and we lose all the benefits that the right way affords.
One way leads us to a life worth living. One way leads us away from that life. The choice is and has always been ours.
Questions to consider while watching the film:
1. Why are people so influenced by outward appearances? How can we guard ourselves against falling into that trap?
2. What principle is worth our lives? How do we draw the line between survival and survival at a cost?
