I don't need Hollywood to make a movie, I've already read the Book.
It's not whether you "need" the movie, it's whether there's movie fare out there that doesn't blaspheme/lampoon/trample or otherwise insult and pervert The Book.
I, frankly, LIKE to get out to a good movie, now and again, and I think it's GREAT that there have been a couple this year that are Biblically faithful; this one and "One Night With the King", which was quite good.
Apart from that, a good movie like this can be an evangelistic tool that you can employ with people who'd never darken the door of your church.
There are plenty of decent reasons to support and encourage this kind of filmmaking.
I have not seen this particular movie, but almost without exception, the book is better than the movie.
One particular exception....Slaughterhouse Five was better on film than in print. The book was incomprehensible to me, and the movie explained it all, I think.
Amen!
I especially, most emphatically, don't need Hollywood to validate my beliefs. I mean, honestly, folks. This is pathetic.
Oh, the pain, the pain.
And a paraphrase, at that, with so much dramatic dialog that doesn't appear in any of the reports. I'm as much a fan of a good biblical hollywood epic as the next guy, but does anyone who believes the reports think the God of Abraham, widely accepted as the Father of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, is worried about his poll ratings...his legacy?
I don't think so.
How 'bout 'God won't make anymore Hollywoods if they start believing the weight of historic evidence for the resurrection of His Son...'
This is all so stupid. Picture the hotdog guy in front of home depot, he starts shouting, "I am not going to make anymore of these hotdogs unless you come and buy them." Well duh, how would anyone respond? "Who cares", I would say. It's simple, apparently there is just not enough people who want one of your hotdogs. Big deal, if they don't want them today, they probably will not want them tomorrow.
I think people who would want to see this, just don't go to movies much. They are out of the habit, because there is never anything worth seeing.
I like your reply, and toltally agree.
