Parents-- a great way to engage your family is to watch a movie together. This summer's blockbuster Man of Steel offers entertainment for the whole family and some great opportunities for interaction afterwards. So, round up the kids and take them to see Man of Steel (PG-13). Then use the following Conversation Guide to take another look at the movie’s major themes. In the conversation, you will discover new connections to your own life and God’s Word.From the explosive first scenes of Man of Steel, only one unshakable determination stands: a father’s love for his son. Even when Jor-El (played by Russell Crowe) knows the sacrifices will be total and the separation utterly heart-wrenching, he will not be stopped. Throughout the film, the incredible love of a father is what makes everything good possible.It’s a powerful, self-giving, unrelenting force that becomes an anchor of Superman’s identity and purpose. This love drives hope; this hope drives purpose. And when spoken, this love gives Superman his ultimate challenge: “You can save them… you can save all of them.”
ASK YOUR KIDS:
1. What’s the best example of love that you’ve seen?
2. Think about the people you love in your life. How can you love them better?
3. What makes it hard to love people the way Jesus wants us to? Download the entire Conversation Guide from the American Bible Society here.
