Talk:Jesus Camp

[edit] Causes for hope
Though I like this section (but maybe without the first person POV), one of the fantastic strands in the movie is getting brief glimpses of this kid over the rest of the movie. By the end, he's enthusiastically participating in the insanity. If anything, I thought his extremely ancilary story arc was about the heartbreaking purpose of these camps - to fully indoctrinate and remove all doubt. But it's always possible I'm misunderstanding it, I guess. --Arcan ¡ollǝɥ 12:46, 8 June 2008 (EDT)
- Yeah, I'm all for snark, but launching right into it in the first two sentences of this article is a little offputting. I think the article opening needs a small rewrite. Great film though. Good Christ it's depressing. One can only wonder how all those kids are doing now - many of them seemed very smart, certainly very articulate, but their heads are filled with nothing but nonsense so while they speak well, total gibberish is what floods out. Heartbreaking really... DogP 12:58, 8 June 2008 (EDT)
- Haven't seen the flick myself, so I'm not the guy to do it, but I think this article needs to back the smack up a little bit and front load a straighter explanation of what the film is. Interesting that CP is totally stubby about the flick, only pointing out that it lost out in the Oscars to Inconvenient Truth. Someone with a sock should paly with the article over there....13:11, 8 June 2008 (EDT)
[edit] Transcript
Does anybody know where one can find the transcript? I'm specifically looking for the part early in the film where the wicked witch compares her camp with terrorist camps or something like that. NightFlareStill doesn't have a (nonstub) RWW article. 07:50, 19 June 2008 (EDT)
