Anyone else re-watch movies and realize there was an adultery theme that they never recalled before? Guess I just notice them more, huh.
Anyhow. New movie coming out this weekend. The book comes out today. It's called Fireproof. Kirk Cameron (old Growing Pains kid--all grown up) is starring in it and did an interview the other day with Hollywood.com---- ____________________________________________________________
Hollywood.com: Fireproof is ultimately about saving a marriage. How do you tell that story? Kirk Cameron: Most love stories in movies are kind of about this unlikely person meets that unlikely person and there is chemistry and fireworks and it is the story of the obstacles until they finally get together and that's your crescendo. This movie starts 10 years after the honeymoon is over and what do you do when there is no fire left?...Can a couple who seems to have lost it get it back again? Fire it back up to the point where they would still say 'I do' all over again." I find the movie very, very inspirational.
HW: Is fireproof a metaphor in this movie? KC: It is. In the movie the word fireproof is used a couple of times from one firefighter to another specifically talking about marriage. What he says is, "Look when something is fireproof it doesn't mean that fire is never going to come to it, it is that when fire comes you are going to be able to withstand the heat."
HW: How do the characters in the film withstand the heat? KC: So in a nutshell this is a love story about a firefighter and his wife and a marriage that is going up in flames…[My character is] about to get a divorce when his dad steps in and says, I want you to put it off for 40 days, "I am going to send you something." So he sends him something in the mail, this hand written book called The Love Dare and it is a 40 day challenge to see if he really understands what love is in its purest sense and then challenges him to see if he can demonstrate it for 40 days even in the face of her constant rejection…It is a real book that is coming out in book stores on Sept. 26 the opening weekend of the film…I'm actually going through it in real life at home. It is a great book, I'm on like day 10. ________________________________________________________________
