One of the main attractions of Christian films that makes it come alive are people who truly believe in what they're doing. Cecil B Demilles Ten Commandments did well be somewhere those actors and actresses had a belief in God or believed in the moralistic tenets of Christianity.
shareMalayada I typed your name but it came up Malaysia sorry --- damn phone
shareWell you know, a lot of people didn't know that Abraham Lincoln killed vampires until that movie came out so...
I would say my memory is not what it used to be. But I don't remember what my memory used to be.
You mean Jewish. The Ten Commandments is about the freedom of Hebrews from Ramses. Not tne Christians.
But I agree. This film should have been directed by someone who knows and adore the story of the source material. This film should have never been grounded as it was presented. It took the entire magic and beauty out of this great tale.
Exactly.
shareYou do realize that the story has been translated through many languages, retranslated, adapted, etc. by so many people through the ages that it's impossible to know the exact story by this point? So a director's retelling is just the same as the story itself, a retelling...
shareWant the exact story? Ask a Rabbi or read our Torah.
shareSo by your logic, christians shouldn't make movies about non-Christian things. No movies containing no Christian themes, every Christian should make only Christian movies and leave all other films to atheists? How absurd
...
You should really chill with the whole calling women sluts thing. It makes you look like a spoiled little child, and it isn't something that should be tolerated.
shareAn atheist can do religious movie if they have respect for it, clearly neither Ridley, Christian or anybody had respect for this story.
Superman & Wonder Woman
Exactly. Religion is really about having a relationship with the divine. If it was a gay or transgendered person or a Christian seeker ( a person who was raised a Christian but has issues with the internal struggles and trying to understand what God has allowed to occur in the world yet they still seek after God and pray but even look into different religions due to their earnestness of trying to find the real creator of heaven and earth. I don't go along with looking into everything but if there is sincerity I believe the real creator will manifest himself to that person. It's a heart relationship) so if a sincere person writes a Jewish or Christian film and sincerity is there you'll pick it up from the film. I picked up no reverence or respect for the creator from this film.
shareIn other words if the person is gay or transgendered or atheist and has a sincere heart to want to know the divine you'd pick it up. And I'm not talking about religion but an actual spiritual experience.
shareYeah, that's why Christians never rewrite anything. After all, there's only one version of the Bible.
