PassTheRemote posted:This is how Cannon Films were able to go on for as long as they did. Pureflix will not be going away as easily as that. Easily? Cannon Films held on with that formula for far longer than they should have (Not saying I hate Cannon Films, saying that that business model should not have worked in a sane universe). Granted, PureFlix will probably only have life until David AR White is caught touching little boys.

The thing with these movies that drives me loving bonkers is how Christians are portrayed as some kind of oppressed minority because people want a clear separation of Church and State. Christians have not been an oppressed minority since the Roman Empire stopped feeding them to the lions. Alternatively, they're being made as a result of atheists like Richard Dawkins screaming how dumb they are for having faith. I dunno.

Last Buffalo posted:I think it's more that for a few years, it's been made clear that Evangelicals are the odd man out in a lot of the political conversation. More liberal America thinks they're bonkers, rich conservatives treat them like pawns. Most of the country lacks their same bloodlust for queers or blacks. So, they feel oppressed in the sense that they're not acknowledged as being pious any more, just being out of the loop. So they're feeling oppressed by not actually being oppressed. I can dig it.

White is in some hot water.

Y'know, I'm 35 and I loving *love* the original (non-silent) Ben-Hur. It's intense as all hell, the chariot race is goddamned amazing, and Charlton Heston just rocks it throughout (even if he didn't know about the gay subtext). From what I've heard about this remake, they chopped an hour-and-a-half from the running time (well, you kind of have to in this day and age unless you're gonna make a 2 parter), and the film suffers terribly for it. poo poo, they let Messala live at the end, he just loses his legs. And apparently Jesus is an even bigger non-entity in this one than the original, but they toss in little cute references, as opposed to having the film being about Judah Ben-Hur and how his life intersected that of Jesus twice: Once when Jesus gave Judah water as he was being marched to slavery, and Judah returning the favor as Jesus was being marched to crucifixion. This one just feels like "Hey, let's remake this thing!" "Great, how do we make it feel authentic to the original?" "...Morgan Freeman!" "High five, bro!" *commence cocaine snorting*

Arsenic Lupin posted:Ben-Hur is a Jew. A Jew converting to Christianity because it is obviously correct is a different narrative than "a Roman converts...". I haven't read the book since I was a teenager, so I can't say if Jews other than Ben-Hur and his family are stereotyped. But Ben-Hur doesn't convert. He shows kindness to a man who showed kindness to him and was rewarded for it. Unless the book differs significantly in that regard?

Arsenic Lupin posted:I had a panicked feeling, but Wikipedia to the rescue. "After witnessing the Crucifixion, Judah [Ben-Hur] recognizes that Christ's life stands for a goal quite different from revenge. Judah becomes Christian, inspired by love and the talk of keys to a kingdom greater than any on Earth. The novel concludes with Judah's decision to finance the Catacomb of San Calixto in Rome, where Christian martyrs could be buried and venerated." Huh. I like the movie better.

On that note, I feel that there are 3 distinct subsets of Christian film The Epic: This is where you can place things like Ben-Hur, The Ten Commandments, Noah, etc etc. More attempts to illustrate events written about in the Bible rather than trying to preach to/convert the masses. Well-Intentioned But Ultimately Flawed: This tends towards more of the Direct to Video/DVD stuff like VeggieTales or even BibleMan. Relatively harmless stuff that is really just trying to be positive and uplifting in some sense. Christ-sploitation: Here's where God's Not Dead, War Room, Old Fashioned, and the collected filmography of Kirk Cameron ends up. This is the stuff that hates you for not believing in the word of Jay-sus and why you will end up burning in the lake of fire for all eternity. Now, there is certainly cross-over between these subsets; I'd argue that Passion of the Christ straddles the Epic and Christ-sploitation sections pretty thoroughly for example, while this loving bizarre thing I just saw the other day called "The Donut Repair Gang" straddles both the Well-Intentioned and the Christ-sploitation areas.

FlamingLiberal posted:There's one film they keep putting out which is 'athiest realizes he/she was wrong' and I call it Strawman: The Movie I lump that into Christsploitation. Samuel Clemens posted:Where does Scorsese's work fit on this spectrum? Last Temptation of Christ? I figure it's somewhere between Epic and Well-Intentioned. Willem Dafoe as Christ is as harmless as John Wayne as a Legionnaire.
