Lately I've been really interested in christian movies, but they're quite rare in these degenerate and herectic times we live in. Almost all of the films that are released these days contains some kind of heresy to them, be it samesex relationships or 'casual sex', this is quite unfortunate but sometimes we can find some gems out there. Those are the ones I already know:

>The biggest christian director nowadays is, most likely, Mel Gibson, and he really does a good job when creating them. I really enjoyed The Passion and Hacksaw Ridge.

>Tarkovsky is another one I already know of, not all of his movies are centered around the christian faith, but he was really religious as his diaries shows. Andrey Rublev is a masterpiece.

>"The Nun's Story" and "A Man for All Seasons", both by Zinnemann, both absolutely fantastic, especially the latter.

>Ben Hur and Quo Vadis, both classics

>Joan of Arc by Victor Fleming, really good

>The Priests (korean movie), I watched that expecting something bad but it was really really good, the director has some extensive knowledge on catholicism, I'll keep an eye for more of his future movies

>Ignatius Press' movies, most of them are biographical, about the lives of the saints, they're not masterpieces but I found some rather interesting and the others were at the very least informative about the lives of those great people that once lived in this world and dedicated their lives to God. (you can find them here: https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Dmovies-tv&field-keywords=Ignatius+Press)

Those are all I've watched, really wanted to know more about those movies, but they seem really rare. Do you guys have some recommendations?

Just remembered about another good one: Silence, directed by Scorsese, I was quite suprised by the quality and would even say it was the best movie released that year. But I frankly don't understand Scorsese, he directed one of the most degenerate movies of all times (The Wolf of Wall Street) and then proceeds to create a christian masterpiece like Silence or even other good religious movies like Kundun.

Nope, but I will, thanks.

I remember a chart posted here once called 'The Definitive /Christian/ Guide to Cinema. It was really good but I could never find it again.

Also, wasn't Ingmar Bergman an atheist?

The Ten Commandments and The Prince of Egypt are both great adaptations of the Book of Exodus.

Underrated list of kino.

Ostrov would be a good pick for the Orthobros.

What do you think about Terrence Malick's movies? The Tree of Life and The Thin Red Line were great and had a Christian theme. I also heard that Malick is Episcopalian.

Ostrov, or the "The Island" comes to mind. A great Russian film on Orthodox Christianity and their deep spirituality.

I would recommend any movie from the Bible series, for example the movie Jeremiah: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Sb8jUGbg6M

Watch this russian orthodox movie about a "fool for Christ";

dude did something horrible as a young man then became a reclusive hermit monk, who helps strangers on a little island and constantly trolls his monk brothers with his weird behavior.

Just watched this. I liked it. It's about Jesus' 40 days in the desert.

There's also this great old miniseries called "Jesus of Nazareth" that I watched as a kid. Made for TV thing, but exceptionally good. I imagine it's already somewhere on the lists, though.

2nd Quo Vadis, back when /christian/ used to do friday night film screenings I watched Quo Vadis with anons. Don't normally watch those sorts of films but was great watch

As >>588530 says, I'd recommend Silence.

I haven't actually seen it myself, but I've recently finished reading the book that it's based on and if the movie remains vaguely similar to how the book was I'd say it'd be a good watch.

It provides an immersive account as to the pain that Christian missionaries went through under Japanese persecution, as well as a few religious type debates between characters as they wrestle with their faith.

Silence is a bad Christian movie; the book is good, the movie has the fatal flaw of implying that as long as you keep God in your heart it doesn’t matter if you go to church or follow any religious belief. Nothing but propaganda masked under a good shroud of excellent direction.


8c6310 No.589391

>>589386

Ouch, so I assume there must be a fundamental difference in the film, that wasn't in the book?

Care to elaborate? As stated in my previous post I've read the book but haven't seen the film

They are very subdued and subtle changes; both regarding the characters and the story details. The obvious change is when the fallen priest tells the young clergyman to just keep the faith in his heart to save the hung tortured prisoners: in the book he’s alone and he has only his own fears and doubts as the cause for his betrayal of our Lord.

this is in fact a very christian movie, not just a standard horror movie with black magic as it may look from the trailer. Watch it and tell me what you think.

Spoiler:

in the end an archangel/guardian angel appears and she learns the blessing of forgiveness

now that i think of it, it must be archangel michael
