Conversations - Saved!

In the fall of 2004, we sponsored a special screening of the film Saved! for freshmen students during orinetation. This movie was directed by Brian Dannelly and stars Jena Malone, Mandy Moore, Macaulay Culkin, and Eva Amurri.

We wanted to sponsor an orientation event that would help students begin "thinking theologically," and we picked this film because we think it will encourage students to do so.

• There is a great deal of information on the Web concerning this film. Some of it, of course, is nonsense; some is useful. We’re not going to try to list everything, but here are a few places to begin:

  There is a useful interview of director Brian Dannelly on the Christianity Today website: http://www.christianitytoday.com/movies/interviews/briandannelly.html

  The official site for the movie is: http://savedmovie.com

One of our panelists strongly recommends the Internet Movie Database as a source for all information about practically every film ever made:
