What do you think of Christianity's depiction in cinema?

It was good in Ladybird

It is typically unfair and done poorly because it's from a Jew's perspective.
I don't believe in god just FYI, inb4 christcuck

Hollywood can't do religion no matter which. They just don't understand it anymore

>Jews run the film industry
>Jews hate Christians more than any other group of people
What do you think?

A Serious Man by the Coens is a great movie.

*sigh*

would you prefer the disingenuous politically correct explanation?

Depends on the film.
Typically it shows a fundamental misunderstanding of the religion depicted, be it Christianity, Buddhism, even Judaism at times.
Occasionally, though, you get a movie that really gets it. Bad Lieutenant gave me that feeling.

Mostly garbage, just like it is in fiction.

Jews think christ is a false messiah and hate christians because christians think they are equal to jews. Jews still refer to christians as gentiles and goyims. Jews think they are the chosen people, and the fact that christians think they are now equal in God's eye (because of Jesus btw) triggers them to no end

If we're talking the origins of cinema until now, I'd say on the whole it's been pretty fair and often times beautiful. New atheism sentiments just don't translate to beautiful stories. Most of the good movies with atheist themes usually deal with the struggle between faith and reason

Does a Goyim like you even know that he is a Goyim?

What are some good movies about Christianity or with Christian themes?

Needs more urban fantasy horror mix

Prince of Egypt, Narnia, Tree of Life

pic related was the best depiction to come out in a long time

I thought Silence was really good.

Prince of Egypt, The Ten Commandments, Ben-Hur, and Passion of the Christ are amazing films.

The God's Not Dead Trilogy, Tyler Perry flicks, and similar films are an embarrassment.

Don't watch kingdom of heaven. It's good visually but the main fucking character is an atheist larping as a crusader. Holy shit fuck ridley scott.
I just watched this 2 minutes ago so I still have to process it. Was it about people not taking religion seriously? The main character went around helping people but did so in an unhappy way. Everyone thought he was an asshole. Why was he so unhappy?

Passion of the Christ

Passion of the kino was pure kino can't wait for part 2

The Young Pope was pretty good

>Don't watch kingdom of heaven. It's good visually but the main fucking character is an atheist larping as a crusader. Holy shit fuck ridley scott.

Kingdom of Heaven suffers from literally every single character being more interesting than Orlando Bloom's. Though I've heard the director's cut is better.

I hate eva green's character too but that just might be because I hate women in general

God I loved The Young Pope. Greatest season of television ever in my opinion.

Ben Hur is a Jewish story user.

...

Is Life of Brian Christian Kino?

"Mary Magdalene" is coming out soon. Critics that have seen it haven't been too kind. Joaquin Phoenix as Jesus could be really interesting but Rooney Mara looks out of her depth.

It's anti-Christian.

I'd say it was mainly about how hard it is to be a devout Christian in a world full of misery and suffering. The priest isn't exactly an asshole, he's just blunt and direct, in contrast to the other priest who is much more outwardly polite but is really just spineless. He's blunt and direct because he sees a lot of awfulness in the people he interacts with on a daily basis, but has never faltered from what he sees as his duty to help them.

That's about the long and the short of it.

But in a funny way. It's not religious is shit

Silence is Christ kino.

It was about forgiveness.

It's honest. Now if only they can be honest about browner religions.

Fucking hinduism

Yeah that was definitely the fat of it.

Was the man who was raped by a priest supposed to represent something else or was that part of the story direct?

Lord of the Rings

>Dude, Apostasy is gud!
>You can still be saved even if you help find Christians to torture

Kys

Why do christians love torture porn so much?

But they weren't Christians.

How can you not get the fucking point of the movie? Japan is a swamp where nothing can grow. They didn't have the same foundation as the West had. They didn't practice Christianity.

The Hobbit

Isn't that kind of presumptuous of Scorsese though? I thought catholics believed as long as you live a virtuous life, but didn't even know about jesus, you could be saved? Those christian japs were doing it wrong but that doesn't mean they're going to hell

A bit, yeah. But the blame is primarily on Shusaku Endo here.

Christiankino >= NTkino >>> OTkino
Remaking Ten Commandments for the 5th time pleases nobody but the kikes.

The Exorcist is the best Christian film. Other excellent ones are The Mission and Chariots of Fire. The Last Temptation of Christ is probably the only compelling cinematic portrayal of Jesus but it's a bit sacrilegious at points.

Shimabara rebellion and ESPECIALLY China's Taiping rebellion were the fault of opportunist heathens taking advantage of Christianity and its rootless faith amongst the slopes to get a shitload of people killed.

I'm not saying there couldn't have been actual nips and chinks with the grace of God, but the movements that justified Christian persecution were extremely heretical.

You may learn about Jesus, but if you cannot understand how Jesus = God, then it's all for nothing.

The mission, Peter and Paul, Jezus of Nazareth, The greatest story ever told, The Bible continues, A man for all seasons, ... are examples of depictions any christian will like.

Modern movies and series don't seem to understand christianity at all. The next Mell Gibson movie should be a big one though. Jim Caviezel is in it again and that guy is really serious about his faith.

Always liked Brian Deacon's portrayal of Jesus best.

Because Christianity is about sacrifice for others.

oh don't get me wrong, Deacon did a great job, but The Jesus Movie was intended to be a straightforward portrayal of the gospel on film. It did that well, but the gospels weren't written to be screenplays and a no-frills adaptation of them just isn't going to allow for the sort of internal conflict you need in Jesus as a compelling movie protagonist.

Kazantzakis recognized that there was a very compelling internal conflict with great potential for modern narrative structures with the mingling of human and divine natures in a single person, and The Last Temptation's focus on that is what drives it even though it's a flawed movie at the end of the day.

Now that I agree with completely. Flaws and all, Last Temptation is one of the great stories about Christ for me.
