|Based on the epic poem of the same name from the Middle Ages, it portrays Christianity in a positive light (as evidenced with the character of Unferth, who wasn't that in the original tale), and the hero, Beowulf, does what he believes is right. However, a significant portion of the film has Beowulf doing anti-Christian things, including mating with Grendel's mother over killing her (a stark contrast with the original tale where he does in fact kill her), and also implies that the dragon that ultimately killed him in the original tale was the result of his sleeping with her (when originally, the dragon had no relation at all to Grendel, his mom, or Beowulf). In addition, it also depicted Hrothgar as a drunken womanizer.

|''The Birth of a Nation''
|2016

|A drama film about Nat Turner, an enslaved man who led a slave rebellion in Southampton County, Virginia. The film focuses on Turner's life as a slave but also a Christian. There are many scenes where he preaches to his fellow slaves in different plantations, even conduct Baptist services, at the same time, he exposes to the crimes related to slavery, which eventually force him to rebel. However, there is a line at the end of the movie downplaying the deaths of the white slave owners compared to the black slaves, something done by the Hollywood elites and unfortunate because all people are equally valuable.

|Main moral is that character and strength comes from within, and that it does not matter where one comes from, to achieve this. This is also a pro-family film about a father of the lion who along with his animal friends goes to search for his son after he is accidentally taken away. The villains of the movie are wildebeests that are trying to change the food chain, by planning to eat the lions, and one could argue this could give the film anti-environmentalist message. However the movie did receive poor reviews, and the movie’s main plot about animals from Central Park Zoo was considered to be a rip-off of more successful and politically neutral movie “Madagascar” which had been released the year before.
