'A Wrinkle in Time' ditches the book's explicit Christian references — and the movie really suffers because of it http://www.thisisinsider.com/wrinkle-in-time-movie-changes-book-religion-christianity-ending-2018-3 Madeleine L’Engle’s Christianity Vital to A Wrinkle in Time https://www.vox.com/identities/2018/3/8/17090084/a-wrinkle-in-time-faith-christianity-movie-madeleine-lengle The Theme of Christianity in A Wrinkle in Time https://www.google.com/search?q=christianity+important+in+wrinkle+in+time&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-b-1 If you take a risk, you may lose.

Read the book yourself. Get back to us. Never doubt a small group of concerned citizens can change the world; it's the only thing ever has |

"The Chronicles of Narnia" which were not specifically theological in nature, but were written by a man who wrote a great deal about Christian apologetics. They reflect the authors fundamental beliefs without being overly specific. I think the Wrinkle in Time was similar, with the characters sometimes quoting right from the Bible. They are not specifically works of theology, but they do reflect the belief system of the author. Philip Pullman's books: The Golden Compass , The Subtle Knife and The Amber Spyglass also reflect the author's agnosticism and his deep distrust of. organized religion. |

I don't know enough to comment on the historical accuracy but if accurate, I learned a lot. Interesting how two movies in the same year were largely, or entirely, about the Dunkirk rescue. I liked this film much more than Dunkirk, by the way. The role of his secretary seemed contrived but maybe she later wrote a memoir, from which such specific conversations were known. Shape of Water. Wasn't crazy about it. It came off like a comic book story with two dimensional characters. Just didn't hit me right. Florida Project--Loved it. Hard to watch but one of the best stories of childhood I've ever seen. From my praise of I Tonya, i admit I like edgy movies. You may not like his movie but you will remember it. Superb performances by all, including William Defoe. Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |

Don't you mean this? Best villain ever, Tim Curry in Legend. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

I really enjoyed “Pacific Rim”, so I wasn’t surprised by the comic bookish characters. However, the overt sexuality was a bit of a shock. Did they edit the content for the plane? I thought it was clever how the title applied in different ways to each character in the film. |
