generational differences

Our family watches films, tv series, and/or K dramas in the evening.

 Last night I refused to watch the latest Knives out mystery because: One, I dislike Daniel Craig, and Two, from what I saw in the trailer, and various reviews, they got Catholicism wrong (i.e. they did not understand the culture of US Catholicism, and I read that those who made it disliked religion). 

So we watched a K drama instead.

As I get older, I am getting narrower: In the past I always kept up with the trends etc. even those I disagreed with, but now I figure my time is too limited to waste time with nonsense.

But my granddaughter said that in her generation, they don't see the anti Catholic stuff in the film probably because they are pumped full of woke propaganda about the rigid old church  which they reject. 

So they see this anti Catholic theme, which we older Catholics would recognize as being from the anti Catholic tropes we got hit with for the last 50 years, as if it were the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

. But what impresses the young kids is when they see the young priest going out of the way to help people. Sort of like the Pope Francis style of love love love.

and it is making them think twice about what is Christianity really about.

So the irony is that this film which seemed to be a way to bash Christianity might reach those who have had no contact with real Christians and show them what real Christians do..

here is a Catholic take on the film:

 So I stand corrected, so might have to watch it (yes we have Netflix in the Philippines).

the good news is that the last four episodes of Stranger things is being released today so we might watch that instead.
