Faith Spotted:
The film depicts a full picture of humanity, that persons have both good instincts and desires as well as selfish and negative motivation and behavior.
The consequences of people's actions have on others, especially with regards to breaking relationships, and the detrimental impact of punitive focused faith communities pronouncing judgement of others. The focus of maintaining relationships in the midst of the failures of loved ones as demonstrated by God to Adam and Eve and the Forgiving father's to his prodigal son.
The finel ine of supporting and enabling persons with their struggles, and the motivations of ones actions on another.
Charlie as a Christ figure in taking on himself the anger of others.
The importance of seeking honesty in relationships and community.
