Crash

 

·        “Man looks at the outward appearance but God looks at the heart.” (1 Samuel 16: 7) How does this Bible verse relate to the film, Crash?

 

·        Read the parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10: 25-37). What does this passage tell us about how we are to treat others? What implication does this message have for the characters in the film Crash?

 

The Outsiders

 

·        In your opinion, do non-Christians tend to view Christians as fun and alive or boring and dull? Why do you think this is the case? How does a film like The Outsiders serve to challenge this popular view?

 

·        Is this style of film is an effective means of evangelism? Why / why not?

 

Pearl Harbour

 

·        It has been suggested that the United States grew complacent in the lead up to Pearl Harbour, failing to acknowledge the serious threat posed by Japan.
