How will Hollywierd make a religious-based movie today without gratuitous car crashes and explosions, dialogue laced with four-letter words, sex, frontal nudity and half the characters being gay??
I just have this vision of a chariot race (such as the one in Ben-Hur) and, when one of them crashes, there is a fireball and massive explosion!! It will be entertaining, but won't do much to tell the story.
I enjoyed the “The Bible” series and I am not even religious. But I am still learning! :)
Hollywood needs to learn what the moguls of the golden age knew by instinct-—give people what they want and you can make money—lots of money. Give them good stories with good people, stories that will give them hope and brighten there day. Now is not the time for realism—we need to see what is good out there! Most of the Moguls were Jewish but they still made Biblical stories for Christians. In today’s world a Biblical take seems new and different. look whats happening in Russia today—a total re-awaking to Christian Worship. Make movies that will inspire people!
I enjoy historical dramas and thought the Bible series was quite entertaining.
Well said.
I’m not much for evening TV (retired) and hadn’t watched until it made it to daytime yesterday. Yes, it was compressed but it was only a 10 hour series.
I made a big mistake. I recently bought a recliner, super soft over stuffed leather with electric controls. It had me sleeping before the show was over and I only saw the first 2½ hours.
Wow, someone grounded in reality. Thank you.
