>spent years deliberately giving men HIV just to prepare for his role as a mass murderer
what a great actor

Kek.

there is an absolute 0% chance that they will be able to pull a good movie about this subject out of those 2 leads.

I honestly don't think they could have picked someone less suitable for the role than JGL.

That's a shame. It's an interesting subject.

Would Leo Dicaprio be a better cast?

>Would Leo Dicaprio be a better cast?
shoulda been idris elbow

Yes, actually.

Hell, Tilda Swinton would have been a better choice. Not even joking.

The obvious pitch for the Jim Jones story is to do it through the eyes of Michael Prokes

>Investigative journalist hears about a weird leftist church with a charismatic leader who collects outcasts and turns them into an organized community

>goes in trying to expose this cult of personality fraudster for exploiting the marginalized

>wait, the creepy pastor actually does the lowest forms of labor day in, day out and gives it all to the poorest people he can find

>he does this even when he doesn't know Prokes is looking

>the more time he spends with the Temple the more he realizes Pastor Jim is actually 100% sincere and seemingly the only person who takes the suffering of other souls with the seriousness it merits

>enters the temple proper and dedicates his life to the project of revolutionary communism

Frame it with the fact that he was left out of the suicide, and survived for months after, but followed his leader's instructions and set a press conference where he explained his position, calmly excused himself, and then put a bullet in his mouth in the name of revolutionary suicide

Prokes:

>Don’t accept anyone’s analysis or hypothesis that this was the result of despondency over Jonestown. I could live and cope with despondency.

>Nor was it an act of a “disturbed” or “programmed” mind – in case anyone tries to pass it off as that.

>The fact is that a person can rationally choose to die for reasons that are just, and that’s just what I did.

>If my death doesn’t prompt another look at what brought about the end of Jonestown, then life wasn’t worth living anyway.

GAYYYYYY

Why were there never any jokes about Jonestown?
the punchlines are too long

I don't really know shit about Jim Jones but I look at that OP pic and I just see a young Chevy Chase being perfect

I find it interesting that Hollywood is always tripping over itself to make "religion bad" movies and TV shows, but they never get around to one particular religion.

Lol niccce

They murdered little kids, user.

What would a movie like that even be about? Maybe something to do with Simon of Trent? Or the USS Liberty?

Why do so many religious people have such a persecution complex?

Most films that you perceive as "religion bad" are more like "religion is often distorted and abused by power hungry madmen who want to control people".

>b but wut about da war on Chrismus

Yeah the amount of movies shitting on marxist cults are getting pretty ridiculous, there's like a dozen every year these days.

It's very important that the hollywood left rewrites the history of Jim Jones not as a politically connected left wing mega church minister who was a SF kingmaker but as a lone nut who only went nutty after being driven to his insanity by the CIA.

Truth is Jones by a by the book false communist 'liberation theology' pastor except he didn't even believe in god.

And the dirty secret they need re-written? That Harvey Milk and Nancy Pelosi both got elected and re-elected due to his very influencial money and votes.

No shit, they were evil communists.

Portray them as what they were, marxist revolutionaries and black liberationists who took their beliefs as far as they went. Portray the process of being swept up in the sense of "we must do something!" Portray the totalitarianism of the socialist experiment as it existed writ small in the late night Staff selbskritik sessions.

The story of People's Temple is the story of how moral people seeking a crusade to fight for under a sincere leader can and will become an inhuman horror. It is the story of the 20th century left. Yet somehow in the popular consciousness people think it's about a Christian cult leader who convinced his flock the world was ending or something.

They should make it the Christine Miller and Jim Jones Story. Christine Miller was the only one on the tape who stood up and objected to Jim Jones trying to get everyone to suicide themselves. She was held down and injected with poison by his henchmen.

Certain people need an enemy. It unifies different groups.

Because it's only Christians not other religions and you can get cancelled for mocking other faiths

I thought he was pretty good.

Jim Jones did nothing wrong. Hear me out. His cultists were massive left-wingers. He probably gave western civilization a few more years to live by killing most of them.

This one wasn't bad.

>after being driven to his insanity by the CIA
Yes, the CIA is responsible for Jim Jones convincing hundreds of people to drink poison Kool-Aid.

Super rational take.

I like it but I thought they were getting leo?

reading comprension, ESL. That's the way they are going to spin it. And yes, our intelligence agencies were interested in Jim Jones both the CIA and FBI. He was a communist threat and the FBI thought he was funneling red money to SF politicians.

most of the truly culpable leftists in his inner circle like Tim Stoen jumped ship at the last second (and are now still running around never having seen consequences for what they did) while the people that were killed were mostly old black women and black children taken there on false promises by the activist leadership

This isn't the same project. There are two separate Jonestown movies in development now. The Leo one was written by the guy who wrote Venom, this one is written by the guy who wrote the Ghost in the Shell movie.

It's not only Christians. There are also films about the dangers of radical Islam, but Christians (like yourself) who love to kvetch about the war on their faith just conveniently ignore them.
>Four Lions
>Patriot's Day
>Zero Dark Thirty

However, I'm struggling to think of films that blatantly attack Christianity itself.

radical Islam, not Islam.

is it going to talk about the bullet wounds inn the back of peoples heads?

>It's not only Christians.

Yes it is fag lord.

>3 movies
Tons of antichristian things in movies games etc you're disingenuous. Nowhere in these films did they mock Allah or the faith they follow. They will never touch Judaism either

Yes, what filmmaker in their right mind is gonna make a film that's attacking Islam as a whole?

And you didn't answer my question. What films go after Christianity itself?

>its another "/pol/cels pretend to be Christian because it gives them an excuse to spread hate even though they do not actually follow any of the teachings of the religion in their daily lives" episode

They don't shit on Islam either
They don't shit on any religion other than Christianity
And I'm not even a Christian

Oh boy I can't wait for (((them))) to downplay or flat out ignore that he was a communist and openly supported by Democrats.

Projecting. Jesus hated evil.

>what filmmaker in their right mind is gonna make a film that's attacking Islam as a whole?
me

that's why they need to get the official narrative out that doesn't include Milk and Pelosi. Pelosi's first campaign fundraiser was at the Temple and Harvey Milk wrote a letter to Jimmy Carter claiming Jones was innocent.

These truths go against the official narrative and must be suppressed.

Why are you faggots arguing about religion?

Do any of you know anything about People's Temple?

Do you think it was a Christian church or something?

Movies criticizing "radical Islam" (lol) are comparable to movies criticizing Catholic sex abuse. Most movies shitting on Christianity are shitting on regular Christians and on things that are inherent to the religion.

I guess Jim Jones is a great representation of the average Christian.

where do you think we are

Christcucks see people criticize a retarded death cult and immediately assume it's an attack on them
I guess it's their Jewish roots or something that makes them paranoid

I'll ask you guys the same question: which films attack Christianity? Not the abuse/distortion of the religion, but Christianity itself?

Precisely. It's nothing more than a tribal thing for most of them. If you asked them to name the 10 commandments without the use of the internet, 99% of them wouldn't be able to.

Why haven't you started a cult or murdered people, Yea Forums?

Don't you want to be the subject of a movie?

Milk was a sleazy and corrupt groomer

Disingenuous. You don't understand how propaganda works. If you made black people in every movie theives or gang members how does that make blacks look? Christians are portrayed and idiots or evil but Muslims are presented as saintly. That show by the haunting of hill house forgot it's name for example.

>I'll ask you guys the same question: which films attack Christianity?
Any movie that needs an older, bigoted character to oppose the progressive heroes and their hedonistic lifestyles

>Precisely. It's nothing more than a tribal thing for most of them. If you asked them to name the 10 commandments without the use of the internet, 99% of them wouldn't be able to.
No, you're afraid that Christianity and nationalism are rising in western nations.

>why do people who want to make a statement about religion use the religion that's most common in my country as the example instead of picking one from the other side of the planet????
The persecution complex in christfags is hilarious

>Disingenuous. You don't understand how propaganda works
No, claiming it's nothing more than propaganda whenever a film criticizes how Christianity is distorted and abused by hypocrites is disingenuous.

We live in a country with a Christian majority, many of whom act more like satanists. The criticism is more than fair.

The difference is you're not allowed to attack Jews or Muslims in any real way. Judaism literally says non Jews are animals and Islams goal is to make everybody like Muhammed ie a warlord who has female sex slaves and attacks innocent caravans

Not really. If anything, I'm afraid of the polarization of both sides of the political spectrum. I'm concerned about the moral posturing and obsession with diversity on the left, and I'm concerned about the general lack of reason on pretty much the entire right.

im not charismatic enough

wasn't kool aid. stop the slander

christianity is the death of nationalism
you would happily import the entire third world as long as they worshipped the same dead kike as you

We live in a country where Christianity is a lapsed watered down element. America is more Jewish then anything. You're not allowed to make a film showing Muhammed getting pissed on by gay prostitutes. You're not allowed to make a film quoting the Talmud where it says non Jews are subhuman. Why do you want blacks to be enslaved by Jews?

>chloe grace moretz

I would totally suck down her cool aid as my last act on this earth..
If you understand what i would like to do

Nah, we’ll probably just make it about toxic masculinity and White violence.

>We live in a country with a Christian majority, many of whom act more like satanists. The criticism is more than fair.
If only we were allowed to offer some "fair criticism" of the people that dominate our financial system

No it isn't you're a fucking pagan larper who doesn't understand the difference between Christianity and Churchian globalists. Remind me why the united nations office building is shaped like the tower of babel

Why are leftists such mindless sheep? They give right wingers so much shit about being "cultists" but it seems like that's just projection
