Have you seen the Movie?The director said that he as a Christian Minister who just played around with making movies with his family was inspired by GOD to make films he made Facing the Giants that was a success beyond imagination now Fireproof.He said with the Attack on Marriage this was his way that through GOD he could inspire Marriages to be strengthned and re-dedicated in spiritual commitment and it has worked...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M5lSu6GkC2k"Some people are out there to win an Oscar, and we're looking to win people's hearts," said Jim McBride, the church's executive pastor and executive producer of "FireproofJust Curious and the PASSION OF THE CHRIST- 700 MillionJust Curious-MEN DO NOT HAVE LOVE SCENESTHEY HAVE DEVIANT SODOMIZING BEHAVIOURS
 
Consider the gigantic divorce percentage for Christians, before you declare an attack on marriage.
 
Because it was marketed to a specific audience who doesn't always look at quality as much as message. Also, it had a decently well known (if terrible) actor in it.Men have love scenes, whether you believe it or not. Sodomy is no more deviant than oral sex and both is perfectly normal.
 
Because a lot of people watched it.Why do you think the Blair Witch Project made a lot more on a smaller budget? It must be true.
 
let's see, movie tickets cost 9 bucks a piece. i'd say there are at least 10 million evangelical christians in america who will watch anything put out by kirk cameron. you do the math.fireproof:Gross revenue: $33,351,975 brokeback mountain:gross revenue - $178,062,759proof more people would rather see a love scene involving two men than kirk cameron and any woman.
 
Because there are a lot of Christians willing to spend money on religious movies. Take the Mel Gibson movie as an example, made loads of money.
 
I thought it was a great movie, and apparently so did a lot of other people. Of course if we were judging acting or cinematography, it wouldn't win; but I always enjoy a good storyline/message more than anything else. It is a movie that really touches and moves people, and only a great movie can do that.
 
Ive actually talked with the leading actress and she says its Gods will they make movies, as the Word must be spread in many ways. She doesnt care about oscars and is a very simple person and at the end in the kissing scene the actor had his real wife.
 
Yes I have seen it.I think some of the ideas of the "Love Dare" are great.The funny thing this is common sense. Things like "Take special time to know your spouse or do something special" or "Refrain from saying something negative" are things any married couple should do all the time, not just when their marriage is falling apart. I suppose the movie (and book) make so much money because people are too stupid to figure this out on their own and yet again need to "guidance of the lord" to tell them something they should have figured out before they got married.
 
That's not a bad idea!I could probably make a boatload of money by making a film about my miraculous conversion from atheism to christianity!The fundies would lap it up!
 
Because much like with christian music there is an audience for christian films. I thought this and FTG were great efforts considering they were produced by a church, but they aren't my favorite christian films (those would be Six: The Mark Unleashed, Time Changer and Hidden Secrets). Anyway, I can't wait to see what this church comes up with next.Dreamstuff: Farenheit 911
