4. How does Mark 8:36, in which the author asks, "For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world, and forfeit his soul?" apply to this film?

Tortilla Heaven is rated PG-13 for some nudity and sexual content. The inexplicable "sexual content" amounts to little more than a pair of kisses between a teenaged couple and a husband and wife. The few instances of nudity are brief, are never frontal, and are, for the most part, the sort of thing one sees on primetime television these days. What might be more troubling to viewers is that the Lord's name is taken in vain throughout the film. This occurs, ironically, only when a character is addressing or referring to an image of Jesus Christ.
