I usually don't go see things like that. It'd prolly just piss me off.

You mean "Saved?" I thought it was supposed to be a comedy?

Lucky for you in godless post-Christian Europe. Here, those people control all three branches of the federal government...

yeah, "saved" is supposed to be an absolute slap in the face for christians.

No, actually it's warning about the dangers of fundamentalism and extremism in general. Of course a true Christian wouldn't use peer pressure, blackmail and violence to reach their goal. The other point the film makes is kids see things too black and white, so if they're brainwashed by their parents into believing something is right, it takes a good while before they can see otherwise, and even then, total rebellion and destruction aren't the right answer either.

I saw a bit about it on BBC Talking Movies and thought it was quite interesting.

ah, must've been a different movie i was thinking about. perhaps "dogma"...
