It&#8217;s a world he knows well, having been educated in a Catholic elementary school and a Baptist high school (with holidays at a Jewish summer camp). His affectionate satire stars Jena Malone as a passionately Christian teen who gets pregnant after trying to &#8220;cure&#8221; her gay boyfriend and Mandy Moore as a popular student whose uses public demonstrations of devotion as social currency. The film won acclaim at the Sundance Film Festival and played to a sold-out gala presentation at the Seattle International Film Festival. It opens a regular theatrical run tomorrow in Seattle.<\/p>\n<p>  &#8220;Saved!&#8221; also has been polarizing viewers and critics in the Christian community. While many, young and old alike, have embraced the film&#8217;s loving approach to acceptance and diversity, it was condemned by Ted Baehr, founder of the Christian Film &amp; Television Commission, as &#8220;a sad, bigoted, anti-Christian movie that mocks the Christian faith.&#8221; Dannelly knows he&#8217;s courting controversy, but he believes passionately about his message.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Saved! opens tomorrow, and I think that it&#8217;s definitely on my list of things to do this weekend.<\/p>\n<p><strong>iTunes:<\/strong> &#8220;Summer Kisses, Winter Tears&#8221; by Cruise, Julee from the album <em>Until the End of the World<\/em> (1991, 2:37).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Seattle PI has an interesting (if short) Q-and-A session with director Brian Dannely, the man behind one movie that&#8217;s been high on my radar for a few weeks now &mdash; Saved!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2037],"tags":[23,2544],"class_list":["post-2578","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-tv-and-films","tag-film","tag-saved"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2578","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2578"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2578\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2578"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2578"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2578"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
