The Open Door Community is will be watching "Up in the Air". It's a movie about "a man with job that has him traveling around the country firing people. Ryan Bingham leads an empty life out of a suitcase, until his company does the unexpected: ground him"
After the movie we will have time for small group discussion on various ideas and issues which arrise out of the movie. This is a great event to invite a friend to experience the Open Door community.
A few comments about this movie.
It's important to reconize that the movies we select have been selected not simply because "they are good" or "entertaining" but because they are thoughtful, a social critic, or a movie which has the capacity to generate robust and healthy discussion. And while we will not select movies which intend to celebrate or hearold sin we will also not shy away from movies which have sin in them. The purpose of movie nights are to discusss, disagree, challange, and be challanged by a director/writer/actor's work of art. We do this, as in all things, through a Christian worldview. So, as to not to cause anyone to stumble unrighteously as a result of this movie..please be aware that this movies (and all movies) rating and the reasons for that rating selection.
