Absolutely Fantastic
I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
You know that god is dead, when there´s movie saying the contrary and being worse than anything from hell, i would prefer being forced to watch the mario bros movie than this.
This is a Christian movie, and haters or non believers don't need to be mad. The movie show ways that Christians have been discriminated lately and how faith is important in life. Worth watching it.
After watching this propaganda, I have come to realise that atheists are not people who don't believe in the existence of God, it just means people who don't believe in the Christian version of God. There was a Muslim girl in the movie, so I thought there was going to be an exploration of various beliefs, but nope. I watched this movie to see what arguments could be given to convince others of the existence of God, like perhaps personal experience or divine daily guidance, but nope, it was a lot of quoting of Darwin, Stephen Hawking and other scientists and philosophers, as if thinking and doing mathematics in itself constitutes proof. Anyway, this movie does not encourage one to think or to question. When you get to the end, you realise this was one big preachfest, where the whole class of atheists suddenly believe in God and "accepts Jesus", not because they had an experience or communication with God or Jesus, but just because one student said so. I can't even remember what he said, I fell asleep so many times.Comedic moments: A Muslim girl covers her face, but the moment she steps out of the car, she is dressed in tight, figure-hugging clothes. LOL! Then there was the Chinese international student who phones home to his father. The son speaks Cantonese while the father speaks a heavily-accented Mandarin (obviously from two regions very far apart). The producers can't even be arsed to find out what people of other religions and cultures wear and speak, they are just hell-bent on getting to the final Christian worship/concert. Well, that was a complete waste of time.
While I do appreciate what this film tried to achieve, it failed miserably because of poor expression and inaccurate portrayal. Definitely a missed opportunity and a lost potential.In simple words, the movie is very bad. The acting is terrible. The script is weak. The sound score is messy and annoying, it's all over the place. The details of which many are somewhat inaccurate. And worst of all, the film itself is a piece of misunderstood Christian propaganda, most likely by the dumbing down of Americans. I felt like this movie was an insult to Christians, Muslims, and Atheists alike. Quite ignorant, ridiculous, and naive if you ask me. Spreads confusion than light.Most of all, I did not appreciate the negative and inaccurate portrayal of Islam in this film. Typical. How about I quickly run down through a few known facts that this movie missed?~ The Head Scarf - This is one of the biggest misconceptions around the internet and western understanding. The headscarf, also known as hijab/mandeel, is NOT forced onto women of the faith, nor do their spouses or fathers have any say in the matter. Just as Jewish women and Christian Nuns wear them also, so do women of Islam, for God only, not for anyone else. It is an independent choice that the women commit to, out of love and respect to God. Any exceptions or anything contrary to this, would be solely political or cultural gain. Leave the religion(s) out of this.~ The Apostate - This is another questionable one, as it is moving backwards. For a Muslim to convert to Christianity, is as backwards as a Christian converting to Judaism. It is degrading, literally, as you go from the final build, to the previous beta, to the to the first alpha. Keep in mind that while the Torah is known for being the Old Testament, and the Gospel/Bible being the new testament, the Quran is known and considered to be the Final Testament, of the Abrahamic Faith.~ The 'Other' Religion - Though the words 'Islam' and 'Muslim' have been avoided in the film, they're strongly implied and pointed towards. Not to mention, the portrayal of this faith under a negative and ignorant perspective. Let's make something clear for those who don't know any better, shall we? In the Abrahamic Faith all the prophets of God, starting from Adam and ending with Muhammad, are considered MUSLIMS. By definition, 'ISLAM' literally translates to 'SUBMISSION.' And the word 'Muslim' literally translates to 'The Submitted' (to God that is). As such, we know from the Torah, the Bible, and the Quran that all the prophets submitted themselves to God as they all prayed to Him and were his most loyal servants and messengers.I think this will do from me, I'm sure others have a lot more to say.
