This vampire (movie) has morals
The vampire movie “Twilight” is drawing large crowds to theaters these days.
Is there anything to nibble on beyond the teen fantasy premise of girl-loves-vampire-dude? Something more meaty, like say a moral point to all the teeth-gnashing (or not)?
The film, based on a fiction series by Mormon Stephenie Meyer, has a moral/religious message, according to Jennifer Hahn, the author of ”the Scoop” featured in today’s e-letter sent out by the Knight Chair in Media and Religion at the University of Southern California.
In her article, Hahn says many movie critics missed the abstinence message inherent in the romantic storyline.
“Twilight” might be this year’s most religious film – but you wouldn’t know that by reading the reviews,” she wrote.
Hahn offers more commentary to sink one’s teeth into.
