    "Unplanned" is *effective* propaganda. Mildly cheesy.

        It's propaganda if it tries to get a message across, and it's effective propaganda if the message happens to be true.
        See also: Frank Capra, "Why We Fight". What it said about the Axis was true. It simply neglected to mention how bad the Soviet "allies" were.

            You're the one warping Christ and his teachings through your vitriolic posts. You're acting like you're the only one with some understanding of God and his Son's love. You are not holy or above the rest of us. Scorsese is a devout Catholic with aspects of Guilt and Retribution hanging over him and his films. He depicts the sinners and blasphemers, and warns the audience about where their decisions ultimately leads them. Sounds like you're a close minded person, aka midwit.

                A devout Catholic would not have made it, but a brave devout Catholic would have and he did. Just because your mind can't stand a challenge, or your soul is poisoned enough to take pride in your ignorance, doesn't mean the movie was made from a place of hate or resentment. Is it blasphemous? Yes, but it has to be in order to tell a story that challenges its audience, yet reaches the same conclusion as the Gospels. Face it, the movie is still highly regarded and brought many young and old people back into the fold. I can attest to that.

      "Ostrov" or "The Island" is great Orthodox Christian kino. It's about a conflicted monk who struggles to come to terms with the great evils he has done in his past.

        As someone who believes in God and the wisdom of the Bible and of Jesus, this is disappointing to me. This is partly because of his Catholicism but also because, in my experience, people who constantly think about and profess their faith are using it as a shield or a hiding place. They don't think they're strong enough to do what's right and constantly ask for help instead of just quietly keeping the faith and doing what they already know and feel to be right. I don't believe God would fail to give you guidance on the correct path just because you didn't pray for it, that's a dick move and runs counter to Him wanting us to succeed. I also really am bothered by Tolkien saying everything is a conflict of good and evil, and especially by him pitting God and the Devil as the motivating factors. God is good and motivates good things but to say everything good is solely because of God is to deny a lot of good people ant credit. On the flip side, saying that evil is because of Satan is a massive cop out- people are evil because they want to be evil, because it's convenient or profitable or just plain fun. To say otherwise is to let any number of bad actors off the hook.

    King of Kings (1961) is very kino. It is only really cheesy in the last 10 minutes. Some of the actors are terrible, though. The actress that plays Salome sucks (understandable, she was only 16 or 17 iirc), pretty much all the disciples (except Rip Torn), Herod's wife.

      "The Monk and the Demon" has apocatastasis as part of the ending, which is the heresy of universal salvation for everyone, even the devil and the demons. It's a bit of a fun movie, but when they pulled that out, I realized it's really just a Trojan horse.

        Yeah you're right.
        That's the issue with a lot of Christian movies. They're all well and good except that almost all of them have a heresy of some kind.
        I think when watching there's a degree of discernment you need to take when watching these movies.
        You most certainly wouldn't tell a new convert "hey watch Jesus of Nazareth where Judas is a sympathetic character, The Monk and the Demon which has a heresy that you might easily fall for, The Last Temptation of Christ which is blatant heresy and any protestant movie or show that refuses to ever acknowledge the Trinity and that Christ is God". But if you're a Christian who feels comfortable in the Faith you should be strong enough to say "okay, that's incorrect" without completely disregarding a film.

But if you're a Christian who feels comfortable in the Faith you should be strong enough to say "okay, that's incorrect" without completely disregarding a film.

        The trinity:
        1. Is not necessary- should I have just rejected what Jesus said if he was "merely" the son of God and not God himself? and why does it basically invent the holy spirit from like two mentions as a full third leg of the thing? That's because-
        2. It's influenced by pagan numerology- the number 3 has ancient significance and probably inherent psychological "completeness" and I guarantee you that's why the ancient pre-schism leaders jumped on and shoehorned in the holy spirit. Not only that but most importantly...
        3. It has no fricking bearing on how to live your life! Am I supposed to specifically be worried about what Jesus will think but not God? That makes no sense and no one thinks that way. Am I supposed to pray to the holy spirit? Again, nonsense, and no one does it (and don't bring up "in the name of the father, the son and the holy spirit" because that's a lazy catch-all like much of Catholic and Orthodox theology). Am I supposed to look for signs and guidance from one and not the other two? See, this all falls apart on inspection as something to be looked at in light of what to actually do with your life and not "well actually" autistic-style debate.
        News flash: a preponderance of the founding fathers were Unitarian, they didn't believe in the trinity at all! Is that not good enough for you?
        Just be a good person and keep the faith, stop quibbling about bullshit.

      There was an era in the 70s/80s where Christianity was just passively accepted as “true” in Hollywood movies. It wasn’t cause Hollywood was run by devout Christians or anything, it’s just it was the default worldview among normies so screenwriters used it as a basis for fantasy/magical systems.
      Indiana Jones is a good example, and probably the most clear and in your face. Others would be Ghostbusters and The Exorcist.

            yeah trite legalism is super spiritual. if someone wants to wait for actual penetration until they are married (couples who do this are way happier and more likely to stay together on average) I don’t see why that should upset you. if he gets foot jobs from his gf that’s frankly what incredibly based, so I don’t see the reason to weigh in and start sucking off israelites out of nowhere

    I always thought TWBB had some pretty good influences in it. I know it isn't explicitly or intentionally, but I thought Daniel presented a pretty good example of a heart hardened without God and Eli a good example of a bad Christian, full of pride and corrupts himself in the end

      A Danish guy once told me that he believes the film is about a wealthy materialist who poisons everything he touches before killing the antichrist at the end. I don't know how much I believe that but it's always stuck with me.

    Is First Reformed a good Christian movie? Or is it subversive/anti-Christian?

      Haven't seen it but seemed subversive to me. I think Schrader did it.

      It's a Christian movie with an environmentalist message, drawing from the call for stewardship over the earth in Genesis. It also criticizes megachurch pastors, but it doesn't beat you over the head with it.

      Not once does the main character question his faith or does the movie make Christianity look ridiculous.

    >Evangelicals
    They actually gain followers because they are proselytism machines. The literally can't make non-chessy propaganda, they don't know how to be subtle.
    >Catholics
    Able to be subtle and able to insert religious themes in an actual narrative.

            Scientismists are just as fricking moronic and probably socially more toxic than Christians, trannies, and pagan LARPers.

            I know this is a troll, but the only reason that heaven is treated by Christians as another plane of existence instead of the literal sky is technological advancement.

          Yes there have been plenty of high quality films mentioned ITT. Nothing you have to attention span for, that’s why I suggested that the twitter threads and disney products might be more your speed.

      Great flick but it relies too much on the israeli conception of God as more overtly aloof and distant, doesn't translate so easily.

    Everything in western cinema is a Christian or post Christian film. Christendom is like water and we’re the fish. Almost everything we take for granted in the world comes from Christ. And the things we decide to question are also things we got from our Christian heritage. If you haven’t read the Bible you can’t understand art.
