Interesting analysis of this movie. I took my son for his 11th b-day part and new the movie would be overly sensational for an adult but also that the kids would love this "mother of all disaster movies". I would guess you are reading into the symbolism too much until you add color on the anti-Christian nature of the Director (thought of him having John Paul II in his home disgusts me). Interestingly, without the benefit of your insight I felt much the opposite. That is, the Christians in the movie who meet their doom are actually the ones who are "saved" in that God brings them to heaven...kinda like a rapture. Your thoughts? Thanks.

I agree with Bob C's closing thoughts about the salvation of those who prayed. Even if Fr's commentary on the anti-Christian nature of the director is true, that doesn't change that true can still be revealed through him. For example, wasn't Dr. Suess and his wife supposed to be pro-choice/abortion? Yet, Horton Hears a Who is so clearly a pro-life movie.
