Conversation Starters - Film + Faith - Animated AdventuresSample

Where do you find your identity?
In amongst the robots and paneled station wagons, personal identity is threaded through this storyline of The Mitchells Vs The Machines. Katie seems to be searching for herself outside of her current family situation. Then, as the machine apocalypse begins, the future filmmaker comes to the realization that she knows herself better than she ever thought.
As she travels along this journey of self-discovery, Katie begins to see the value of family and the wise counsel they do have for her life.
An aspect of living on this planet that we all can learn to appreciate. To see these key individuals who can represent elements that we aspire to see in our lives, and how these people are willing to invest in our future.
Her father, Rick (Danny McBride), is far from being an ideal role model. Still, he does represent the very thing we all desire to have come into our life, someone who wants to invest in our lives and does his best to set a good example.
This example is shown in the Bible through the example of Jesus.
If you are looking for that example to emulate in your life, the Gospel According to Mark is a great place to begin.
