When looking among Christian-produced films, a particular film production company stands out from the rest. This film production company is Sherwood Pictures. Sherwood Pictures has produced a number of films including Flywheel, Facing the Giants, Fireproof, and Courageous. Sherwood Pictures always puts forth a Christian theme or message in their films, and this is especially evident in their film Facing the Giants. Sherwood Pictures began with a pair of brothers, the Kendrick brothers, who were incredibly
their criticism on movies depending on how well the movie is constructed and how well developed it is. Every movie has a fictional culture or worldview in which it is constructed around or from true events that occurred in history. For example, “Fireproof” by Alex Kendrick is constructed around a biblical worldview on which God can be the only answer and true influence for a healthy, successful marriage. Yet in this occasion, the movie that has been chosen is “Avatar” by James Cameron. In this certain
Facing the Giants (2006) merges both football and faith into an inspirational Christian film. Directed by and starring Alex Kendrick as Grant Taylor, this movie about a high school football team asks viewers, “Do you bring your best every day?” Facing the Giants is a movie that reminds its viewers, “Never Give Up, Never Back Down, Never Lose Faith.” The two brothers who wrote, directed, and produced the movie are Stephen and Alex Kendrick, who are from Albany GA. Stephen works at Albany’s Sherwood
Fireproof is a powerful film that has a powerful message never leave your partner behind. Taking the information from the movie and looking at the materials from the class there is a degenerative communication spiral between the husband (Caleb) and wife (Catherine). Stewart (2012) explains that degenerative spiral is a misunderstanding that creates damage in the relationship. In a degenerative spiral, the person will start to have less interest in others and start to have more concern in work. When
love is shown between an owner and its pet and the strong bond of love that they have for one another. Though, in the novel, Safe Haven, love is presented between a man and a woman. Another way that love demonstrated differently is in the movie, Fireproof; love is defined within a family. In the modern world, love is usually portrayed between a man and a woman, however, love can be represented within a family and an owner and its pet. In the movie, Marley & Me, the director depicted love in a different

The liners are called a boiler gaskets, installed by applying a UL tested intumescent fire caulking ensures a good seal to stop fire, smoke, and moisture from entering the safe. To ensure the safes are fireproof, the manufacturer puts them

night; the reason it stopped was because it had started raining. Although the fire destroyed most of the city, it was a positive turning point in history. The Chicago Fire improved firefighting and their equipment, new buildings that were made out of fireproof materials, and it brought big investors to the city. There were more than 334,000 people in Chicago at the time (Burgan). Ninety percent of the buildings in Chicago were made out of wood during the 1800’s. Streets and even sidewalks were also made
Fahrenheit 451: Irrelevant? Irrelevance. The term can mean different things to different people, because to some the topic in question could, infact, be irrelevant. Although, on a larger scale, say the world, irrelevance does not exist as different countries and different groups of people are at different stages in development. For example, compare a third world country to the United States. With the topic of running water in the United States, citizens could view this issue irrelevant to them due
background music slowly plays; but there are movies out there that do give us a pretty realistic view of what love looks like without having to showcase any nudity or sexual scenes. I wish to contrast the differences between the movie The Notebook and Fireproof along with their affects on teenagers. Most teenagers have learned to handle heated situations in the manor in which they have seen presented in movies. Dr. O’Hara, a researcher at the University of Missouri, studied the behavior patterns of 1,200

The Triangle Shirtwaist Fire of 1911 What do we think of when we hear the word sweatshop? Many people associate that word with female immigrant workers, who receive very minimal pay. The work area is very dangerous to your health and is an extremely unsanitary work place. The work area is usually overcrowded. That is the general stereotype, in my eyes of a sweatshop. All if not more of these conditions were present in the Triangle Shirtwaist Company. This company was located in New York City at 23-29

In an era of a rising unionization, The Triangle Fire, calligraphy written my Leon Stein, describes one of the worst industrial disasters in the nation’s history that ended up killing 146 of the 500 Triangle Shirtwaist Company employees, which happened to be female immigrant workers.
