By Brian Godawa: According to Brian Godawa in Hollywood Worldviews, there are two extreme positionsto avoid in viewing movies: the cultural anorexic,who avoids all movies; and the cultural glutton,who almost always watches movies with little or nodiscernment or thought about the content. The problem with the first is related to one's ability toredemptively interact with their culture. The problem with the second is the fact that movies are always based on a worldview, and they usually are produced to promote that worldview. Thus, especially for Christians, but also for all who are concerned about American culture at the beginning of thetwenty-first century, this book offers a wonderfulantidote to both extremes--become a discerning viewer, who understands both what worldview is beingpresented and how it is being presented. The goalof this book, according to Godawa, is to help usto appreciate art (movies) better by understandinghow they are formed and what they wish to say.
