Are there any religious films worth watching? Just watched The Passion of the Christ and it was garbage

>Matthew 24:36
>THE DAY AND HOUR UNKNOWN
>"But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father."

>The Tree Of Life
That one seems pretty bad.
Thanks for the other recommendations though.

I can understand completely hating Tree of Life, you either like mallick (and even then, it depends) or you hate him, it's up to you

Tree of life is unironically the best film of the 21th century, except maybe for in the mood for love. It's not inherently Christian though. Faith does play a role but I guess that's just natural when it comes to a story about grieve. Its a film about the sublime in general

>calvary
Is that the one with a priest being falsely accused of pedophilia? I remember having watched that one already.
Not really a fan but I'll check it out.
Nearly slept watching it.

I'm the guy that recommended it and I agree, but

>priest being falsely accused of pedophilia
Never mind, that was Doubt.

Yeah. I guess it's one thing to say mallick is not for me, but I met so many people who clame he's just a pretentious hack who is all style over substance or who think that tree of life is basically christian propaganda. So mallick is a pretty good pleb filter in my opinion❌

I'd like to add First Reformed too, even if it's definitely not specifically christian and it touches on a number of issues

You should watch diary of a country priest and winter light first, though. I liked first reformed but it's far from original

>you either love it or you hate it!
is this the most bluepilled thing one can possibly say about television and film?

I mean, he was talking about the director not the film.

I have

It doesn't have to be specifically Christian by the way, I just can't remember a religious film I really enjoyed, unless counting horror films and they were few.

Doubt was decent though.

There are a lot of great ones in this thread alone. Also milkyway from bunuel is really great and entertaining

How has no one mentioned Andrej Rublev yet?

Pretty decen list
And I forgot Simon in the desert from bunuel

Great list unironically
Gospel according to St. Matthew has to be the most Christian film ever, and it was made by a literal communist

All memes aside, saving people is a good value to have

Vatican has always had a soft spot for God's chosen people, google Sicut Judaeis.

Did you expect to see Der ewige Jude there?

>Nosferatu
good taste catholics

No but not appeal to emotion propaganda either

The Ninth Gate

silence

Do the Japs BTFO the missionaries? Might watch that one first if they do.

>The Mission (1986)
It's got De Niro and Jeremy Irons in it. Lots of religious themes, solid acting, and a pretty solid ending.

>The Name of the Rose (1986)
Based off the book of the same name. Again, you've got religious themes only this time you've also got a mystery that's being solved. Sean Conner and Christian Slater are entertaining.

>Shadowlands (1994)
Based off the life of CS Lewis. It has its share of inaccuracies, but does a decent job of conveying a particular period in Lewis' life. Religious themes involved are what happens when Lewis's intellectual Christianity has to deal with more personal aspects of his life. Anthony Hopkins plays Lewis. If you're familiar with Lewis at all but haven't seen this film, it's basically about the disparity between The Problem of Pain and The Great Divorce.

That's all I've got off the top of my head, user. Best of luck.

Reminder that Pharaoh did literally nothing wrong

Picked this up on Blu-ray for £2 yesterday.

He couldn't have done anything else because god predestined him to be the villain.

God was basically toying with him.

>after 5th plague
>"okay, I think I'll let his people go"
>"woah dude, 10 plagues are supposed to be 10 plagues, here I'll help you steel your heart"
>"wow, I nearly made a regrettable decision, Egypt would survive this 10 plague, I'm sure of it"
>repeat until the 10th plague
>"woah dude, you endured the 10 plague and you're going to just let the slaves go? you should chase after them, I'm totally not God but your conscience btw"
>"T-thanks conscience, I'll chase after them"

wait, what is this? is it good?

Yeah the god in the old testament was pretty based.
>babelyon, I give you the power to destroy Jerusalem and take my people as slaves
>how dare you act against my people, now I'll have to destroy you
What point is he trying to make? If he can change people's mind just like that, why doesn't he stop them from sinning instead of encouraging them to do the very same?

OT was more about fear of God (because he can fuck you up anytime) than the mercy and salvation thing from the NT. They didn't even believe in eternal soul, life's just a movie to entertain God, and Babylon were the bad guys that time.

Yeah, I get that but if you have no free will, how can god judge you for your actions?

Well, he's not really judging (in the worldly sense of dispensing justice at least) as much as he's writing the script for the characters, but the ancient Hebrews taught that it was judgment so that people would keep in line. The book of Ecclesiastes pretty much explains everything.

OK, but god also says that if you turn from your sins and do right he will not kill you, so that implies the individual does have a choice. At the same time he is omnipotent and controls everything. Maybe that means that god has a general plan but as an individual, if you're not an important person like a king or prophet, you can decide on which side you stand?

Based clergymen watching kino after prayer sermons

Yeah, funny how that happens sometimes.
Andrei Rublev's also pretty Christian, and while Tarkovsky probably wasn't a straight up communist, he was essentially working for the USSR

I don't think you can decide at all, he just says things like that for plot advancement. If he didn't say anything the characters wouldn't have a reason to be punished for the transgressions they commit anyway. Like, he has to establish that something is wrong for the punishment to make sense later. Then you have the characters that are predestined to get tired of sinning and "repent" so that they validate the illusion of choice.

As in, fat guy gets tired looking like shit and goes on a diet then hits the gym. The guy had no choice because God had already decided that he was the kinda of person who had a limit, but another guy would eat until he died of some heart disease. Those two under these words God proclaimed give the idea that choice is possible, but it's just the plot he wrote for life and living beings.

On the other hand there are several occasions where Moses convinces god not to kill his entire people. It reads as if is he's also in a learning process

The thing is that, if God is omnipotent and omniscient, with no ifs or buts, then Moses asking him not to kill people is also part of the script. Trying to grasp something that is infinitely powerful and knowing can only lead to that conclusion, where everything is a whim of God. But maybe he isn't all-knowing and all-powerful, which would explain why calls Adam and asks where he is in Genesis.

you're stupid, aren't you?

You sound upset.

It makes sense that god isn't all powerful in the bible because they took the concept of god from the zoroastrians who believed god had a lot of power but not infinite power

Metropolis

Yeah, they borrowed a lot from Zoroastrianism actually. Conflict between good and evil, celestial hierarchy, even the idea of judgment day. They also got Genesis from the Babylonians (Enuma Elish), Psalm 104 from the Egyptians (Great Hymn to Aten), and so on, probably the reason why God presents inconsistent behavior throughout the OT.

Oh I knew about the enuma elish but the psalm thing is new to me

Not really surprising since they spent a lot of time subjected to the cultural influence of those people

Veggie Tales

tree of life is fedora-core
Malick's true masterpiece is to the wonder

bullshit, it's a mediocre fake epic he only released because he spent so long working on it

>nor the son
>but only the father
Not a religious fag grew up mormon But why do some christian's believe that christ == god?

*tips

The NT is also full of shit they borrowed from other cultures. You have some writers copying Greek authors word for word but putting it in the context of their religion, like Paul copying Plato, Seneca, etc.

Read about the zoroastrians if you don't believe it

>Greek authors
and Latin*

Paul was a hack

Well, he was a Pharisee after all. He probably converted because he realized he could have more influence in the reformed version of Judaism that was introduced by Jesus than in the failing temple Judaism. Can't say he was wrong.

yo hol' up, is this a sequel to Prince of Egypt??

Just catholicucks.
Which is all in all weird, Catholicism should be the correct branch.

What was the film's name that was based on Paul being imprisoned in Rome & had Christian Bale in it?

nvm, found it.
Has anyone seen Paul, Apostle of Christ?

He and whoever wrote the Gospel of John.

It's the prequel, last scene is Joseph inviting his father Israel and all the Jews to Egypt, which then years later that fires the whole Exodus thing.
Should've made a third one to be honest, with Solomon's kingdom and all, would've been pretty kino.

Catholicism is just Roman paganism dressed as Christianity.

But then you have the degenerates at Constantinople, then the drooling retards the Prots.
It's all fucked, but then again Jesus foresaw all this.

Ignore them and live a nondegenerate, nonretarded life.

Amen.

>Paul copying Plato, Seneca, etc.
examples?

biblethingsinbibleways.wordpress.com/2013/07/14/paul-and-his-use-of-greek-philosophy/

It is. Relies too much on shock value to tell a story that everyone already knows.

He should have made a movie about the Gospel of Peter

Just imagine people's reactions watching this shit

>9. And in the night in which the Lord's day was drawing on, as the soldiers kept guard two by two in a watch, there was a great voice in the heaven; and they saw the heavens opened, and two men descend with a great light and approach the tomb. And the stone that was put at the door rolled of itself and made way in part; and the tomb was opened, and both the young men entered in.

>10. When therefore those soldiers saw it, they awakened the centurion and the elders, for they too were close by keeping guard. And as they declared what things they had seen, again they saw three men come forth from the tomb, and two of them supporting one, and a cross following them. And the heads of the two reached to heaven, but the head of him who was led by them overpassed the heavens. And they heard a voice from the heavens, saying, "You have preached to them that sleep." And a response was heard from the cross, "Yes."
