“The people who made this movie ARE amazing. They wrote a GOOD film about Jesus in the TEETH of all the opposition, criticism and negativity they KNEW they would get.”
The people who made this movie know Christian movies sell. It was hyped to the church, (who jumped at the chance at someone else ‘evangelizing’ for them). They are are laughing all the way to the bank, along with Rick Warren (whose cirriculum is already on its way to supplement their version of the truth)
Haven’t you been reading the posts? They are not what they seem to be. What is disturbing is that church leaders excused the omission of basic tenets of our faith and called it good.
I assume that you HAVE seen the movie. Am I correct?
I also assume that you have watched and listened to those folks who made the movie. It was WHY I chose to see the movie in the first place. THEY convinced me.
And, FOR YOUR INFORMATION: they spoke to what wasn't the best in their efforts!!! If you had HEARD them, you might not have written your post.
Beside, who are YOU to assume that I haven't been reading the posts and making MY OWN DECISION?
You might at LEAST give me the common courtesy to have my own opinion...EVEN if it disagrees with yours. And, I DO disagree with you 100%.
I saw the movie once and I am going to see it again TODAY. I loved the movie and it MOVED me. Get over it.
They know Christian movies sell? Okay.
That's why independent film makers some in places like, Albany or Atlanta Georgia have been making movies like "Courageous", "October Baby" the pro-life movie and "Facing the Giants". We've got it. Christian movies are so popular to make in Hollywood, you can count the number on one hand in recent years I'd say. Thank goodness it hasn't stopped independent filmmakers.
