Must See Movie...

best movie i've ever seen.

Awesome Movie

The acting in this movie is really good.

The documentary itself held me. I watched right through. I thought it wa put together well in terms of keeping me watching but, I really felt it was also edited together without stuff. Like there was certainly bias on behalf of the filmmakers. Yes, the subject matter was disturbing. Religious finatics and extremists of any belief or religion are scary and they ruin so much for the others. And this film shows us that. Which I know was part of the point. But it did come across that they were painting a picture of that greater whole of this particular religion (Christianity in this case) as being this extreme. A good watch, but it just bugs me that I feel like this is pushing an agenda - a different one than the agenda pushed by those depicted in the movie. Irony or hipocritical? Maybe not completely but, maybe a little of both.

Usually you get extra things in a documentary to make it more intense, like tense music, Morgan Freeman narrating etc. This simply didn't need any extras the content was pretty disturbing. What is even more disturbing having watched this in 2018 seeing how things have progressed since then... not good.

Jesus Camp is definitely one of the most disturbing documentaries you are ever going to see. It is practically impossible to grasp how this is possible in the 21st century. A true example how religious fanaticism blinds certain people completely.I am not religious and do not believe in God but I respect everyone that does since it is a personal choice and if faith helps someone and brings good things to their lives it can be a nice positive thing. On the other hand, the actions of the religious right as shown in this film are absolutely heartbreaking to watch. Young children being brainwashed, exploited and forced with political ideas, this will not leave you cold for sure. Their parents carry a huge blame too for sending them into such environment. When people who were raised Christian say that that those kind of camps that turn kids into some sort of a religious army are dangerous, you need no further proof how sickening it all is.The film is well made, it will grip you from the very first moment and will not let go. Do not watch it if you are looking for something relaxing and plan to have a nice, calm evening, you need to be prepared for this one.

If the goal of a documentary is to depict a subject honestly, this movie scores big. Scary big.The basic premise of this film is the ambition of evangelical Christians in this country to marry religion and politics. Or if they aren't seeking after a marriage, they are hinting at a fearsome love affair. Most of the film takes place at a summer camp for evangelical kids called Kids on Fire. The leader of the camp is a woman named Becky Fischer, who frankly looks to me like an overweight Lesbian. And when you get into the nitty gritty of camp life, things get really strange. Fischer has the kids in an auditorium talking to a cardboard cutout of President George W Bush. And it gets even more ridiculous as it progresses: we have a kid named Levi, who sports a rather idiotic- looking mullet and whose Jesus- glaze is so thick you could cut it with a knife, getting home schooled by his mother about how global warming is a hoax and the earth is no more than six thousand years old.If it were not so frightening I would have found it all hilarious. For balance, the directors have given us Christian radio host Mike Papantonio, whose worldview is much more moderate than the maniacs we are seeing in this documentary.As far as what happens to the kids, I would call it abuse, but the kids don't seem aware of it.Someone really needs to tell these people, who are calling for "warriors for Christ," that Jesus already said the final word on that subject:"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God."God isn't looking for an army. He is looking for peacemakers.Anyone who buys the mess that this movie is selling is seriously deluded and needs to study the teachings of Christianity.
