lilORANG 11/15/17 6:55:24 PM #6:	i remember thinking it looked interesting from the trailers but haven't seen it. Is it super over the top christian, or is it more just a story set in the Christian cinematic universe? Like God's Not Dead was obviously made by Christians for Christians but movies like The 10 Commandments and Jesus Christ Superstar have universal appeal despite having a "pro-God" interpretation. --- #FeelTheBern http://i.imgur.com/q5z4CUu.jpg http://i.imgur.com/6B9oFXh.jpg http://i.imgur.com/sy42Dlf.jpg <cite>lilORANG posted [p:890463121] in What does ...

Then don't turn it into a movie. Why should God not be in movies? Go ahead, but don't disrespect the viewers intelligence by turning it into propaganda. I mean if you just wanted only Christians to view it, make it available as a dvd/blu ray at your local Christian store instead of making it a full fledged theatrical movie that is going to be viewed by a lot of non-Christians. lilORANG posted...

It's not over the top like God's not Dead and it is set in a Christian cinematic universe as in there's only one kind of interpretation and answer. Honestly, my favorite movie "religious" movie would probably be Prince of Egypt. From the animation (other than the God awful "angel of death plasma"), to the songs, to the voice acting, to the tension between Moses and Ramses (they're not brothers in the bible, but adding that part in did make the chemistry between both of them more emotionally driven), it's one of my favorite animated movies. --- It's what all true warriors strive for! <cite>Prestoff posted [p:890463609] in What does ...

It's not propaganda if the information in the movies is actually representative of what is true. In God's Not Dead, you have people overcoming victory in the midst of impossible circumstances. Jesus is bigger than you. I believe that you don't watch movies because of the implications. Also, tell your wife that because there are such movies out there that are excellent, that does not mean they aren't due to ignorant people claiming they're not.

Yes I have, from innocent movies like Fireproof (which had lol acting and questionable plot devices, but I give it a pass for the car train scene and the message is nice enough) to pure propaganda shit like God's not Dead and God's no Dead 2, both in which are based off from strawmans. God's not Dead claims for the Professor to be an atheist, when he's just a Christian who's mad at God for the death of his grandma. Then you have God's not Dead 2 which was so stupid I don't even know where to begin. Like how she could've easily explained that she was just answering a question, but no she couldn't answer it straight forward like that so you have this overlong and stupid court case that shouldn't even happen to begin with. --- It's what all true warriors strive for! <cite>Prestoff posted [p:890471930] in What does ...
