However, <I>Country Strong</I> treats alcoholism as something to be belittled in this story about the alcoholic country star singer Kelly Center (Gwyneth Paltrow). It seems the writers took insensitive advantage of the debilitating effects of alcoholism as a plot device to keep the film going. That and sex, of course. And adultery. After all, it is rated PG-13. I guess Hollywood wants us to believe that sex is love. Little do they apparently realize that sex is not love and love is not sex: that sex is merely a <I>tool</I>, an <I>expression</I>, a <I>servant</I> of love; that there can be rich and rewarding love without sex. But that would not sell as much. But then, at whom does that point? I guess Hollywood is no longer capable of writing a really good love story without sex.<BR><BR> Up and coming country singer Beau Hutton (Garrett Hedlund) finds his way into Kelly's bedroom through trying to nurse her through her alcoholism and rescue her failing career. All with the sneaking awareness of Kelly's husband and producer/manager, James (Tim McGraw) though James assigns Beau as Kelly's protector and guardian. Then along comes "challenger" and former beauty pageant queen, Chiles Stanton (Leighton Meester) into Beau's life ... and his bed ... as Beau tries to coach Chiles to conquer her freezing up on stage. Chiles ends up becoming the opening "act" for Kelly's comeback tour. Now complications arise as Chiles becomes more important to Beau than Kelly. Kelly fails to keep it all together in her Dallas performance which she failed to complete in her last gig in Dallas - a performance which killed the unborn child in Kelly due to Kelly's alcoholism. So she returns to the bottle.<BR><BR> <B>Wanton Violence/Crime (W)</B> - 76 out of 100 Part of the violence content of this film includes irresponsible driving, a bloodied infant doll as a gift "message" from "fans" and a number of physical assaults. While one might expect such violence under the stage conditions, viewing of any violence can "lead to real life violence" so sayeth <A HREF="http://www.capalert.com/violenceinentertainment.htm" target=_blank>four professional public health agencies</A> and so sayeth God in Prov. 16:29 which warns us of the leading effect of violence. <B>Impudence/Hate (I)</B> - Zero out of 100<BR><BR> Averaging every 1.3 minutes someone utters some form of profanity [Col 3:8]. Lying [Rev. 21:8], defiance of rules [2 Tim. 2:5], trespassing and a man in a woman's restroom round out the reasons for the loss of all the starting 100 points in this investigation area. <BR> <B>Sexual Immorality (S)</B> - 5 out of 100<BR><BR> Strangely enough five points remain out of the starting 100 points in this investigation area. But on the flip side of that perspective, this investigation area found enough content to lose 95% of its starting 100 points. There are so many individual acts of sexual immorality that to even summarize them here would be unproductive. Suffice it so say the film is filled with adultery, a man and a woman in bed, co-stripping to underwear and more. [Mark 7:21] Please look to the listing in the Findings/Scoring section (the heart of the CAP Analysis Model) for a complete accounting of the content found.<BR><BR> <B>Drugs/Alcohol (D)</B> - Zero out of 100<BR> As might be expected of a film about alcoholism, there is enough content found by this investigation area for it to lose all its starting 100 points. And therein lies a great danger for the "intended" audience.<BR><BR> <A HREF="http://www.acponline.org/journals/ecp/janfeb02/dalton.pdf" target=_blank>A 2002 study</A> by the American College of Physicians (ACP) revealed that adolescent exposure to drinking in and as entertainment undeniably leads to abuse of alcohol among underage viewers. The finding entitled <U>Relation Between Parental Restrictions on Movies and Adolescent Use of Tobacco and Alcohol</U> reports that of 4544 youths from grades 5 through 8 of fifteen Vermont and New Hampshire middle schools (90% of the youths were under fourteen years old - the PG-13 age stratum) only 16% were completely restricted in their entertainment diets. Within the ACP study population, the prevalence of having tried alcohol without parental knowledge was <BR><BR> <LI>46% for those with no viewing restrictions <BR> <LI>16% for those with partial viewing restrictions <BR> <LI>four percent for those with complete viewing restrictions. [Eph. 5:18]<BR><BR> <B>Offense to God (O)</B> - 11 out of 100<BR> The script writers need to be made aware of God's Word about using His name in vain which includes the adolescent-popularized three syllable sentence with His name trailing it. [Deut. 5:11] When someone abuses God's name, with or without the four letter expletive 15 times in a 112 minute movie (averaging once every 7.5 minutes), six times of which were with the four letter expletive, there must be intent of some kind.<BR><BR> <B>Murder/Suicide (M)</B> - 91 out of 100<BR> There was one suicide by drug overdose. <BR> <BR> <BR> <A NAME="SCRIPTURAL APPLICATION(S)"></A> <FONT SIZE="1"><CENTER>ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo</CENTER><FONT SIZE="3"><BR><BR> <B><FONT FACE="verdana"><FONT SIZE=3>SCRIPTURAL APPLICATION(S)</B><BR> If needed to focus or fortify, applicable text is <U>underlined</U> or bracketed [ ] or <B>bold</B>.

[The issue is the violence, the 'way that is not good' no matter how "small" or "justified" the violence might seem, and its "leading" effect on the observer. "A violent man" can be any character of any age, any gender, human or not in the act of committing (demonstrating in the case of entertainment) violent behavior/action whether for good or evil OR the violent behaviors/actions themselves. Such exposure can and does embolden the viewer into aggression, especially youth. It took years for American professional health community to finally affirm, probably without knowing it, that which God told us in 1 Cor. 15:33 below. See also <A HREF="http://www.capalert.com/violenceinentertainment.htm" target=_blank>Joint Statement on the Impact of Entertainment Violence on Children: Congressional Public Health Summit</A> for more information. Further, God speaks darkly of violence 56 times in the Old and New Testament of the KJV.] o Col. 3:8 But now ye also put off [rid yourself of] all these; anger, wrath, malice [<I>kakia:</I> ill-will, desire to injure, wickedness, depravity, evil, trouble, not ashamed to break laws, etc.], blasphemy [<I>blasphemia:</I> impious and reproachful speech injurious to divine majesty], filthy communication [<I>aischrologia:</I>foul speaking, low and obscene speech] out of your mouth. (NIV) Col. 3:8 But now you must rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice [<I>kakia:</I> ill-will, desire to injure, wickedness, depravity, evil, trouble, not ashamed to break laws, etc.], and filthy language [<I>aischrologia:</I> foul speaking, low and obscene speech] from your lips. <LI>Rev. 21:8 But the [unforgiven] fearful [deilos {di-los'}; timid, cowardly], and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers [sexually immoral], and sorcerers [all forms of evil/magic to force or do harm], and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. <LI>2Tim. 2:5 Similarly, if anyone competes as an athlete, he does not receive the victor's crown unless he competes according to the rules. <LI>Mark 7:21 For from within, out of men's hearts, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, <LI>Eph. 5:18 Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit. [Since "drunk" is methusko {meth-oos'-ko}: to intoxicate; make drunk; to get drunk; become intoxicated, "wine" can be any intoxicating substance including illegal drugs or abuse of prescription drugs. The issue is do not abuse the body by intoxicating it [1 Cor. 6:19]. Though it is not a sin to drink, it is a sin to get drunk OR to influence to get drunk OR to drink in defiance such as underage drinking. <A HREF="http://www.acponline.org/journals/ecp/janfeb02/dalton.pdf" target=_blank>A study</A> by the American College of Physicians (ACP) has found an undeniable, inarguable link between the presentation of alcoholic beverages and tobacco in and as entertainment and abuse of them and arrogance/defiance with them by adolescents. And teaching/causing youth to abuse alcohol/tobacco (or illegal drugs) by emboldening youth with them in and as entertainment invokes Luke 17:2. If alcoholic beverages in entertainment were not a problem for our young, why is there and why has there been such a push to get and keep booze commercials off prime time broadcast TV? Even the University of Connecticut corroborates our claim though their article is no longer online. It used to be <http://www.forbes.com/lifestyle/health/feeds/hscout/2006/01/03/hscout529995.html>. <LI>1 Cor. 6:19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? <BR><BR> ***Selected Scriptures of Armour against the influence of the entertainment industry***<BR> <LI>Jer. 37:9 This is what the LORD says: Do not deceive yourselves, thinking, 'The Babylonians [the destroyers from within] will surely leave us.' They will not! <LI>Ps. 12:8 The wicked freely strut about [e.g., create progressively vile/offensive entertainment with impunity and no consequences and present it to younger and younger audiences every year] when what is vile is honored among men [when enough people continue to defend it, embrace it, enjoy it, want it, submit to it. I call attention to Ps. 12:8 to warn of the creeping desensitizing power of "entertainment."] <LI>Col. 2:8 Beware lest any man [by his influence] spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. <LI>1 Cor. 15:33 Be not deceived: evil [<I>kakov</I>: of a bad nature, not such as it ought to be] communications corrupt good manners. <LI>Rom. 5:19 For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. <LI>Jude 1:4 For there are certain men* crept in unawares [secretly slipped in among us], who were before of old ordained to this condemnation [whose condemnation was written about long ago], ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness [a license for immorality], and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.

I applaud these associations for fortifying 1 Cor. 15:33. Read the <A HREF="http://www.capalert.com/violenceinentertainment.htm" target=_blank>rest of the story</A>. From our years of study, I contend that other aberrant behaviors, attitudes, and expressions can be inserted in place of "violence" in that statement. Our Director - Child Psychology Support, a licensed psychologist and certified school psychologist concurs. For example, "Viewing arrogance against fair authority may lead to your kids defying you in real life." Or "Viewing sex may lead to sex in real life." Likewise and especially with impudence, hate and foul language. I further contend that any positive behavior can be inserted in place of "violence" with the same chance or likelihood of being a behavior template for the observer; of being incorporated into the behavior mechanics and/or coping skills of the observer.

The first term is the Motion Picture Association of America's (MPAA) rating. The second term [in brackets] indicates that which the film earned under the CAP analysis model. In the example, "PG-13 [R-13]" indicates the MPAA rated the film PG-13 but the film earned a CAP final score in the scoring range earned by R-rated movies in the comparative baseline database. Other comparative terms used might be "PG [13-PG]", "G [PG-G] or even 'PG-13 [PG]" as was the case for Alien vs Predator. I doubt there will ever be a "G [R]" used, but only time will tell.
