/christian/ - Christian Discussion and Fellowship

Does anyone thinks the movie might show Paul in Spain. Some literature supports that may have happened.

I actually work for Hollywood. I have an advance copy of the script, I'll post a little bit now

SCENE ONE: STEPHEN GETS STONED

The setting is a synagogue, which will look identical to a Roman Catholic church minus statues of Mary and Jesus. A pharisee with blond hair is leading a group of Jews wearing red caps in a confrontation against Stephen the Protomartyr.

Chief Priest: Stephen, you have been accused of teaching beliefs that go against ours! We have no tolerance for such actions. If this is true, you will be stoned to death. What do you have to say for yourself?

Stephen: All I teach is this: Jesus was like a really nice person who taught people to be good. God is love! We should all just love one another! You need to open the borders of your heart to Jesus! Don't build a wall around your soul and deport the Holy Spirit!

Chief Priest: Blasphemy! We do not love here, this is a place of hate

Stephen gets stoned to death by the red hat wearing brigade. Saul watches, but doesn't participate. The Chief Priest approaches Saul later

Chief Priest: Saul, I noticed you didn't participate in the stoning. Why?

Saul doesn't answer at first

Chief Priest: I hope you haven't grown a soft spot for this Judeo-Chrislamic sect, have you?

Saul: Of course not, I approve one hundred percent of persecuting them.

Chief Priest: That's good to hear. So what do you plan on doing now

Saul: I'm going to make Damascus great again

He cackles.

END SCENE

Much coolness. Hope they do it right.

Affirm, incidentally, are a sub-division of Sony, and have made pretty much every American Christian film of note since 2008, including what many at the time were parading as "The Passion"'s sequel, "Risen".

They deserve props for giving Caviezel decent work, tho', frankly, since the guy's career basically ended in 2004. (Seriously. Have a look at his imdb. It's truly sad.)

Why do ppl get excited by this meme?!

>God is love! We should all just love one another!

Are you mocking Stephan with this faux-liberal bile?

>I'm going to make Damascus great again

Or Paul with…

Not sure who you're mocking here … Or perhaps I place too much stock in your flag…

1/10

>>523293

Wait, this is Mel Gibson? Shoot, I missed that. I can't wait!

>>523293

Someone needs to make laughing_cruise.jpg that except with Mel Gibson laughing

>>523275

Because one the earliest christian letter outside of the bible made (maybe) a reference to the journey.

Jim Caviezel is one of the few examples of true Christians in Hollywood.

This is written about the guy:

Showing respect to his wife and his faith, Caviezel refused to do a love scene with Jennifer Lopez in Angel Eyes since she was naked, and he refused to strip off in a love scene with Ashley Judd in High Crimes. He said, "I do love scenes – but not ones with gratuitous sex. … And it’s not just about my wife, although that’s important. It’s sin, pure and simple.

Some reporter on The Young Turks also tried to convince him about abortion, so Caviezel took him apart and gave him a half hour lecture about why it's wrong. There's an entire video of the reporter complaining about it on YT.

>>523275

He was great in Human Target. As soon as they included lesbians as main characters in season 4, his character was shot and the series died

>>523339

Person of Interest I mean

Can you link please?

>>523269

Keep going

Its a personal story of Cenk the Turkroach so no footage of the encounter. But he acts like the typical leftist who gets shaken when you actually stand up to their satanic ways.

>>523514

Cenk grates my nerves something fierce

>>523514

Definitely going to the theaters to see this.

>>523325

No, I get that, what I asked was WHY this excites such passion. So, he might of gone to Spain. What of it? Thomas went to India. Never seen THAT in a movie yet. And it so deserves one! Who wouldn't pay to see that?!

I would certainly like to see this.

>>523553

Tread lightly, because there's every chance it could turn into "Dances with Hindus" knowing how things are these days.

>>534643

Silence is pretty kino although a lot of people think it's blaspheme

Passion of the Christ and Hacksaw ridge is pretty kino too, Mel Gibson is kinographer

>>534662

Oh, and Calvary

>>523269

I'm willing to bet money that it's going to be this bad. Part of me can't wait.

>>534702

>Missing Scorsese's Silence

Hmm. Yeah, fair enough, I will admit that everything up until the end is brilliant about that film.

>Terrence Malicks Thin Red Line

What could possibly cause you to regard this as a Christian film?!?!

>Terrence Malicks The Tree of Life

Ugh. Sure, as a sleep-aid.

I have watched half of it and I just cannot bring myself to watch the rest because I am so appalling bored.

>Terrence Malicks To the Wonder

Know of it, have been extreeeeeeeeeeeeemely wary visa-vie above experiences.

>>534643

Watch Calvary.

>>534662

>Risen

What's good about it? It got mixed reviews, but why? (and don't just give me your theory alone please)

>another Nazi propaganda film

No thanks.

>>534661

To be fair there are some Christian/Christian-themed films here.

>Boondock Saints themed

>The Ten Commandments Christian

Couple off the top of my head, not counting animation.

>>538743

>tree of life

>narnia (2005)

>god's not dead (to be fair I haven't seen it)

>kingdom of heaven

I would say this might need revising, but I'm worried the newfags here might make it worse somehow. Wasn't this also made by some…?

Anyone seen Arn: The Last Templar? That might be able to replace Kingdom of Fedoras. Lawrence of Arabia might be good, and definitely Metropolis 1927. Narnia is fine but it's probably better to read the book. Same goes for LotR but at least those movies were alright (save for the recent ones). Artsy, existentialist-tier films shouldn't be there honestly, as they're a product of modern, materialistic life and Jews.

>>538742

>and don't just give me your theory alone please

What the heck is this supposed to mean?

>What's good about it?

Good production values, decent acting, off-kilter story, told from point of view of a stranger. It got decent reviews, secularists cocked their heads and collectively seem to have said, "Yeah… o-o-okay." rather than rage spergingly. I'm not gonna say it's a five-star God-send, but it's good. And since OP's bar was "decent", I felt it satisfied it.

I notice nothing else in my list attracted this much disdain.

>To be fair there are some Christian/Christian-themed films here

In the meme?

Yeah, I think the memer who wrote it was trying to say something memey. What annoys me about it is that few of the european films were made by Christians, only TWO were made this century, and they're typically European ''vague Christianity", which is basically just a Christian spirituality philosophical theme surrounded by nothing particularly Christian. Not all of them, of course. Of Gods and Men and Calvary were actually good films, even if with non-Christian makers.

I liked Risen
