I think it is important to see that movies don’t just “have” worldviews; rather, film is more like a liturgy. So it’s not just a matter of being critical viewers who are looking for the message in the film; it’s a matter of being awakened to their liturgical, formative nature. And in the case of nationalist entertainments, it requires further considering how the telos implicit in such media is antithetical to the shape of the hoped-for kingdom of God.
