Misplaced Priorities and Greed Mark Mad Money

Well,
Although an adult movie, good parenting might turn this movie into opportunities to discuss "misplaced priorities and greed" of this movie and Biblical responses to it.
1st Subject: the movie's beginning where greed has placed them in deep debt. This is an opportunity to discuss what "Living within one's means," vs "living paycheck to paycheck" means, and Biblical Finances.
2nd Subject: Although, Nina and Barry end up committing fornication, Barry does make a good decision by not allowing sex with Nina to be part of the "bargain" when he joins the gang. You can discuss what the Bible says about love, marriage, and God's Gift of Sex, especially with teens who are tempted by sex from all angles (peers, media, school, etc).
3rd Subject: Although they seem to get away with it, you can discuss how no one can escape God's Judgment, even if they seem to escape man's.
There are other subjects, such as, "temptation" and "alcohol" but there is not enough room for them in this post.

In the old days, when a heroic character had to commit a crime in the movies, there was some kind of a good reason. Sister Bertha's orphanage was about to be foreclosed upon or something. And then there were consequesnces. Remember the Blues Brthers went to jail.

The only reason these characters have for robbing the Federal reserve is greed. And they justify it with every "stick it to the man" cliche I've ever heard.

Lousy message, lousy movie.

We should never, never Idolize steeling. Don't we have enough problems with teach our children with the good moral values and in God's commandments to follow them. I have repented for my mistakes and Choices. My sins washed away. Repent for ever thinking that I would steel again. Don't fall in the snare of the devil. Don't get sucked in by his evil deeds. Turn to Our Lord Jesus and stay in his Love and Grace. YOUR LOVING SISTER IN CHRIST JESUS,
