    Im an atheist, but I love your reviews. They remind me that not all Christians are blind to their fellow humans who hold different beliefs. To hear a Christian defend me feels good. You stand up for people who are constantly standing up for themselves, feeling like they aren't being understood. You make me feel understood.

    In the right hands, that Christian version of Birdman could be awesome. Imagine a beat up, jaded Willie Ames (or however you spell his name) feeling convicted to put together a good Christian film that has a little bit of edge and a great message that doesn't beat you over the head. Because it's subtle and risky, no Christian studio is excited to get behind the film. So the entire film (shot to look like it was filmed in one take) is about Willie Ames using his last remaining resources to try and get the film made while dealing with personal demons, his relationship with God, the Christian/Conservative media, and the ever growing urge to sell out to a whole new level and try to reboot Bibleman.

    So because he's such a "good Christian", he somehow found it in his heart to save her from dying horribly despite their differing spiritual beliefs. What a self-righteous, pretentious jerk. That mentality is so infuriating--"I can act like I'm better than everyone else as long as I identify as a Christian because that gives me a nice mask of humility to hide behind."

      Pretentious jerk for saving her life? And she was NOT his "enemy" for differing beliefs; she was his enemy for taking his job away. I think the REAL "pretentious jerk" is the one who pretends a Christian's good motives can't be sincere.

    • @TheaterRaven

      @@AB-cj3mp "Pretentious jerk for saving her life?"
      No, for using the moment of saving her life to remind her, "Hey, did you know I'm a Christian?!" with the "Love your enemies?" answer to her question of why did he save her. Even if proselytizing is a part of someone's religion/spiritual beliefs, they should have enough common manners to know there are appropriate times to do it, and doing so while tending people during their dying moments or near-death experiences, times of great physical and emotional trauma, are not the right times. Also, if/when most people get fired, I don't think they see the person/people who got them fired as "enemies". Opponents or adversaries, maybe, but not enemies. We're not living in a Saturday morning cartoon here.
      Of course certain Christians' motives for living through and/or spreading their faith can be sincere, but this character clearly isn't one of those Christians. From his converting the guy trapped under the water tank to seeing the opposing lawyer who happens to be an atheist as his enemy he must bring to Jesus through saving her life, it's clear this dude views non-Christians as pieces to win in a spiritual chess game, which is what, sadly, many Christians view their faith as: A game in which to make their god or themselves look good. And that attitude is precisely one of the reasons why I left the religion altogether.

    the problem with a medic or rescue servant proselytizing to anyone is partly because people dont care, but its mostly problems with, "Is this guy just going to preach to me about hell and heaven INSTEAD of providing me care and trying to rescue me?"
    there have been many instances of people not doing thier jobs to preach about the afterlife. And while you mean well, its ILLEGAL and DISRESPECTFUL.
    what if someone came to you, in youre dying moments who COULD have saved you or done something, INSTEAD thinks "this person has no hope might as well save thier soul" and preaches to you about Allah and the prophet muhammad and that cause youre christian allah is going to burn you in hell forever but if you accept allah youll swim among the stars?
    so no the problem isnt the cross or getting caught. its "do you want your last thoughts in this world to be about threats of more suffering or do you want to be comforted and cared for?"
    simple as that. While kevin covers a good point that people are offended at it, he doesnt make it aware its ILLEGAL and can cost you your job and allot of money

    There are definitely good or even excellent movies that have lots of Christian themes that aren't expressly Christian--
    * Lord of the Rings (Tolkien was a devout Catholic)
    *The Chronicles of Narnia
    *Chariots of Fire (a classic!)
    *The Tree of Life
    *Prince of Egypt (brings back memories)
    *Les Miserables (the 1998 version with Liam Neeson)
    Christianity Today reviews lots of movies like this.
    As I have said before, I find that stereotypically Christian movies are too hammy. And not in the tasty way (like Jim Carrey).

      *Christianity is not a majority religion in Japan, so it's no surprise that if you were to search for expressly Christian themes in most anime, you'd come up empty. That being said, the Roman Catholics did give them tempura.

I think, "yeah, it's sad that a person died. BUT, also, everyone dies. Like Everyone in history has died. Does that mean it's "bad" that one person dies in one way, and another in another way? It's just different. Life is unique and different for everyone. "Bad" in the case of life experiences, is simply a relative term. Life is an adventure and the only thing that makes an adventure exciting is the bumps in the road. Like that Twilight Zone episode where he always wins the jack pot, and it turned out it wasn't heaven, it was actually HELL! Always winning isn't very fun.

    Really enjoyed this!
    From a technical production side, it looks like the movie was actually pretty good. It's the writing that's just awful.
    If they'd use that 64 million to hire some decent writers and actors, this could actually be something. Probably won't happen though.
    I do think you were a bit harsh on the filmmakers though... I think the people who made the movie had good enough intentions, they just suck at making movies. That said, I do think that the marketing team, and Pureflix as a company, does deserve every bit of criticism you dished out.

      I get the feeling like most people who work on these films think like me, but they also have families to feed. This is the type of movie that pays the bills, so this is what they make.
      That's fine. My point is, 1. The risk you take when you make a movie like that is, you're going to get criticized for it. 2. Why do we keep making this kind of movie a viable investment for the film makers?
      Maybe I've just worked in the industry too long, but I've come to realize, for everyone who works on movies like this, it's just a job. It's not out of a passion to change the world.
      There is nothing wrong with going into that kind of career. I make videos for my job from time to time, that I know I wouldn't make other wise.

      Wow, I mostly agree with both of you in this discussion. I actually liked _God's Not Dead_, but this movie does seem to be lazy. I think they tried to preach against the idea that the cross is just a charm, but further enforced that idea in the process.
      I'm SO eager to see what you think of _Beyond the Mask_... I think. :-P

    There are many movies whose message I may not 100% agree with, but which succeed mainly because of AMAZING screen writing.

    The way most Christian films portray non-believers reminds me of how Stephen King portrays Christians in some of his novels. Just a bunch of evil, angry, curmudgeons, who are constantly angry at people who believe differently.

    Great review as usual! I work in full time ministry and anytime I ever dare say I'm not a huge fan of these PureFlix movies you'd think I just denounced my faith right there on the spot. They (church people) just don't seem to realize that they're being sold to, be it little plastic crosses with tracts or small group curriculum.

  • @JoeRepp
    @JoeRepp 8 ปีที่แล้ว +25

    I haven't seen this movie, but I think the biggest thing I would say about it, if I took the time to watch it and then made my own review, is that, giving like all the characters little crosses (or big crosses) feels like its trying to be symbolic. But its not symbolism. Its just kind of literally a cross. Thats not symbolism thats just giving all the characters the same prop. What.
    Why can't Christian films at least try to be subtle?

      Why can't more Christian films be more subtle? +Joe Repp Because my mom likes them. I think people in my moms demographic really like these kinds of movies. I don't know if there just accustom to bad, on the nose tv shows. Or if they just have no tastes. Or Evan if it's because they view the movie with Christian goggles.
      The sad part is that there are good, subtle, Christian movies out there. But they don't get the press or the views.

      Granite flats: It's a tv series. I love it. But the plot is a bit hard to explain. Mainly because there's a new one every season. But I like that.
      Dancer and the Dame: Not great, but for a PureFlix movie, its a 10. The only PureFlix movie that I know of that practices subtlety. 40 minutes in, I was wondering when the preaching was going to start. There was a message that you get in the end. But it was not thrown in my face.
      Confessions of a prodigal son: This one I rather liked. It could be a little boring, which is what my parents thought. But I think it has great camera work. And the story flowed pretty well. Good use of flash backs. But it is a low budget film. At least it looked like it, But not in a bad way. For example, in the middle, there a dead pixel. :)
      All of these are on netflix. Which is how I find them. Netflix is pretty good on recommendations.

    I had no desire to actually watch this film so I thought hey, why not just watch Kevin's review? Your reviews are pretty much the only way I watch Christian movies anymore, and rightfully so. So fun and right on!! The ending was hilarious, trying to finish up while the endless voiceover went on and on. It struck me how upset Christians would be if atheists had a film company and made movies about atheists convincing Christians to not believe in God and then painting themselves as the victims whenever possible. It would be ridiculous, yet we think it's totally fine the other way around. Why can't Christian movies simply be about Christians and their lives, and situations they face, instead of it all being a big in-your-face sermon? Maybe one day.

    I also agree that films like these keep portraying non Christians as the enemy or bad guys, but aren't these films supposed to be a ministry? If you're trying to reach out to non Christians, you're not going to win them over that way. Anyway, good job Kevin! *thumbs up*

    It's time for the Christian film genre to actually get stories that both great plot and preach their message of faith without it's characters coming off as unlikeable. In fact, here's a list of films that do this better than this movie, God's Not Dead, Persecuted and other modern day Christian films do:1.) The Ten Commandments2.) Jesus of Nazareth3.) The Greatest Story Ever Told4.) Spartacus5.) Ben-Hur6.) The Robe7.) Quo Vadis 8.) King Of Kings9.) The Prince of EgyptKeep in mind, all the movies listed excluding the last one on the list were made in the 50's and 60's, an era which if I'm correct wasn't all too tolerant of faiths other than Christianity. Those movies actually portrayed it's characters as likeable, the plots were believable, the stories were given plenty of care and most importantly of all they were Christian movies that actually got the message across without promoting through the mouths of unsympathetic, unlikeable jackasses or rely heavily on plot contriences to get their point across and treated their audience, whether they were belivers, non-belivers or those of other faiths with more respect than the new Christian crap that's being churned out as of late. These actually portrayed Christianity in a positive light and actually did so without whacking the audience over the head with it like modern Christian movies do and doing the opposite of what it's supposed to do. In addition, they are movies that I would happily watch again because, to me at least, they're terrific movies that were given lots of care, even if some of the acting may seem a bit dated if not outright cheesy. And I myself am a person who wasn't born when most of these movies were made yet actually watched them.In short, movies that were made so long ago about Christianity manage to do better than modern day films about the same religion. The fact that the new stuff being released doesn't even take or even look at the figurate books of success those movies have done is just downright pathetic.For those of you who want to make Christian movies in the future, do this one thing. Do not emulate God's Not Dead, Do You Believe?, Persecuted, 90 Minutes In Heaven and most of the Christian movies produced during the 1990s and 2000s. Look at the movies I just mentioned, analyze them, study them and pay close attention to how they go about talking about Christianity. Use likeable characters to spread the message, do not portray the characters who aren''t Christians terribly, feature a Christian whose an obvious jackass as an example of how not to act and spread your message as though you actually care about your audience's intelligence.And most importantly, don't create unlikeable, unsympathetic jackass characters like Joss Wheaton, blatant strawman caricatures like Professor Jeffery Raddison or pastors like Reverend Jude and Pastor Dave. If you can do that, you might be able to save this genre.For those of you who wish to and will try to save it, I wish you good luck.
