God in films

I wrote this and forgot to post it. I wrote it the day we read Joel's blog. Rachel Larson said something about God being in the films and this is what I thought on the matter. (I talked to her about it after class, we didn't dive too deeply into the idea, but I just wanted to see if anyone else had something to add. I am most definitely open to what anyone has to say)

In class we were talking about if God was in fact in the films we were watching. I was thinking about this, and my question is, does God always have to be in everything? I'm sure if we sat together in class, between the lot of us we could find God in a million places in each film. I'm most definitely not saying God isn't in everything we have watched so far, but what if He isn't? Sometimes someone has a story to tell, and maybe they don't believe in God, or have an background in Christianity, but they still can change someone's life - right? Maybe Feather Tale didn't have a definite God moment, and it was intimately disturbing, and yet served a purpose for the greater good of the world. God is good, but maybe he isn't the only good in this world. I think maybe there are times when a story is a story. That doesn't mean it can't have an impact on someone's life. Maybe I'm just over thinking it, or maybe I don't really get what I'm trying to say. I honestly don't have a firm opinion on the matter, but this just sparked a thought in my mind that I wanted to put out on the blogs.
