In the first flashback we are taken to a Church in Manchester, where Charlie is confessing his sins in a confession booth. Charlie tells the father that he will not commit these sins again; ironically his brother is waiting for him at the church to tell him about their new recording contract. Charlie doesn’t want to sign the record contract because he has uncertainties about the sex and drugs the band participates in. But of course Liam talks Charlie into signing and that he can pull the plug when Charlie says so. This is around the time where Charlie’s conflict begins and develops into an internal conflict.

The movie, “Devil’s Playground” gives a glimpse into the Amish way of life and how the transition into adulthood is approached. The Amish religion was established in 1693 and is based on fundamentals of separation and isolation from the surrounding community. This is in attempt to prevent external influences and temptations of a wordly manner.

One of them remarked that the church finally was where it was supposed to be: with the people, surrounded by the wolves. Romero’s first task as archbishop was grim: he had to bury dozens whom soldiers had machine-gunned when 50,000 protesters demonstrated against rigged elections. By now Romero had turned all the way “around the corner.” Summoning priests to his residence (he had moved out of the Episcopal palace and was bunking in a hospital for indigents) he told them he required no further evidence or argumentation: he knew what the gospel required of church leaders in the face of the people’s misery. All priests were to afford sanctuary to those threatened by government
