The Christ in Hollywood

Some Hollywood movies have such deep Christian themes. I am not talking about the obvious ones—- messianic figures and the power of love and sacrifice, no. I mean much deeper ones that seem a lot like revelation knowledge. I wonder if the writers/directors are aware of this. Every time I watch a superhero movie or read a comic, (the old school ones, not the ‘progressive, all inclusive’ hogwash they’re mostly putting out these days), I am always struck by the similarities those heroes have to the New Creation and always I am a little annoyed that they were not conceived by Christians in the first place! (You guys know that superman is basically Samson, right?!) These days, every time I watch a movie, I always look for those parallels, those nods, those unintentional but very accurate depictions of the Christ, salvation, the new creation and Christianity in general. I have gotten deep spiritual revelations and truths from the most unusual movies and TV shows, so much so that I decided to start a blog to share them! I had always thought that my spiritual life and my love for movies would never mix; how wrong I was!
