Divorce Movie Tries To Answer Tough Questions

Posted by Jennifer Bailey on Thu, 01/24/2008 - 7:00pm

The Christian Post has announced that a new Christian film about divorce, titled "Me and You, Us, Forever", will be released in 83 cities and 34 states on February 15th, the day after Valentine's Day.

The film chronicles the real-life story of a 47-year-old Christian man going through an unwanted divorce, which leads him to start reminiscing about his old high school girlfriend and his first true love. It purports to answer questions such as "can you overcome the pain and bitterness that follows divorce?", "is there ever healing?", and "why does God allow divorce?"

Dave Christiano, producer of the film, says that the film is very real. "The story tries to help people who have been affected by singleness, separation or divorce, and that begins by being honest with your feelings, emotions, and yourself. Through the main character in the film, we'll see just that. It's the beginning of healing in any situation." Christiano further states that the film is timely, as he estimates that 90% of church congregations have been in some way affected by broken marriages. "A mother, father, brother, sister, relative, almost everyone has now been touched by this dreadful word," says Christiano.

It will be interesting to see how this film will be received by the various Christian faiths. Calling your film a Christian movie about divorce is risky, as it suggests you feel you speak for all Christians. The opinions of people leaving comments on this article seem to range from "of course divorce is OK" to "God does not allow for divorce, end of story". If this is any indication, it seems Christiano may have stirred up a hornet's nest.
