This film was very interesting to me because of the topics that it tackles. Lois Weber does a good job of keeping the film an art film in that it is very pleasing to the eye. The film portrays morality as a good thing, yet there is a naked statue in which everyone gets freaked out about. I liked the statue scene because it was something that was not quite expected, yet it fit with the film quite nicely. I think that the naked statue would not be as shocking in today's world, but for the time it was something different and made people really think. Most of the film is also portrayed in a dreamy like state, for example when the preacher is sitting in his chair, one wonders is he dead or is he just taking a nap? Maybe Weber wanted the audience to figure it out for themselves rather than be explicit about it.
