Mayelana nale movie

Mary is a good Christian girl who goes to a good Christian high school where she has good Christian friends, mainly Hilary Faye, and a perfect Christian boyfriend, Dean. Her life seems perfect, until the day that she finds out that Dean may be gay. After "seeing" a vision of Jesus in a pool, she does everything in her power to help him turn straight, including offering up her virginity. But none of it helps because Dean's caught and sent to a "degayification" center and Mary ends up pregnant. It's during her time of need that she becomes real friends with the school's set of "misfits," including Cassandra, the school's only Jewish girl; Roland, Hilary Faye's wheelchair-bound brother, and Patrick, the skateboarder son of the school's principal, Pastor Skip; whilst Hilary Faye turns her into a social outcast.

Debbie Harris, you dont have to be a Christian in order to be offended by this movie. It does mock the religion a lot. Its blasphemous. But its also a really good story, and I think the ending makes up for the stupid jokes, and for the ridiculous notion that any pastor/principal would be backflipping into assemblies and hating on gays.

I'm sure there is an element of truth some where. I didnt like it before but in some cases people can be like this in Christianity. They turn their noses up at you if your not like them! I've see both sides as a heathen and a Christian! Some Christian girls are prissy like the one who acted that way!

I think this movie is great; contrary to what the diehard religious say it doesn't mock God or Christianity, but rather explores how faith can be questioned, perverted, and yet still maintained even if one does not show their face in church regularly. The main character is in a bind precisely because of her faith and the ones who should be supporting and guiding her are choosing not to because of that same faith. As a preacher's daughter I understand well how extreme religion can be but this is well done.
