On one hand you have 1939's 'Snow White' Disney cartoon. It portrays a very unrealistic (even for then) portrayal of a simple, sweet, and innocent heroine. Now we have 2012's 'Snow White & the Huntsman' which distorts the main figure even worse than the old cartoon did... but in the opposite direction this time around.
Are we so unrealistic in our expectations of fairytales/women/virtue and what's natural that we are totally incapable of having respect for fiction that doesn't adhere to our modern culture's perverse 'dumbing down' mentality? Perhaps we have strayed so far from wholesomeness that we no longer understand it or have the slightest inkling what it's all about.
Are we that 'perverse generation' that we were warned about so many years ago?
About the Composer
- tAaOS
- In those wee hours of the morning; in those quiet, private times spent with the Lord; in those times of prayer and faithfully studying His word; that was when the Alpha & Omega Suite came to it's composer. This didn't happen instantaneously, but slowly and consistently over the course of nine years, beginning in 2000 and going through 2008. Accuracy to God's Word was more important than finishing the Suite quickly, which is a process that flies in contrast with the way things are normally done in our throw-away, media-centered culture. But, when dealing with the concept of God, it's important that our proclamation is based upon what He has revealed of Himself and not on the imaginations of fallen humanity.
