/christian/ - christian

If you're searching for biblical films about the life of Jesus I suggest:
>The Gospel According to St. Matthew, by Pier Paolo Pasolini
>The Passion Of The Christ by Mel Gibson.
>Jesus: A Kingdom Without Frontiers
if you search movies that contains christian messages I suggest:
>Bruce and Evan Almighty
>Oh God! (written by old testament perspective but contains hopeful messages)
>Muppets Christmas Carol
>Fat Man (with Mel Gibson)

>Muppets Christmas Carol
I did not grow up with this version, so it's come as a surprise to me as an adult to see so many people laud it as one of the best, perhaps even the best, of the adaptations of the story to film.

Me neither in truth, I watched it the last Christmas and I have to say it's a really good version of the story that both brings new joy and new angsts that makes it compelling.
I won't say it's the best version of the story th but if you think it is it's good.

Anon, listen to the Bible in a year podcast by Fr. Mike for understanding the Bible. Though I do not know any movie you are wanting for. However if I were to recommend a movie, then watch the our Lady of Fatima movie (the old film, not the newer one that was released).

Is there something wrong with the new film or is it just not as good as the classic version?

Tarkovsky's films, of course. His entire catalog. All very russian orthodox.

And all made under the sinister eyes of Soviet censorship. Amazingly, Stalker can be said to be about both the wonder of Creation and the danger of false gods.

Yeah ive been recommended Pasolini's adaptation of Saint Matthew before, from what I've learned about him he's the exact opposite of a faithful Christian and 99% of his cinema is all over the place with stuff like Salo and Greek mythology like Madea. Kinda wild to me his Christian adaptation was so faithful.

Tarkovsky's films have been on my radar for nearly ten years, and while his stuff looks absolutely fantastic, its always come across really inaccessible for some reason. At some point i'll take the dive into Tarkovsky, but he genuinely's is kinda intimidating. Do you guys have any recommendations to start with him?

I second an explanation about Lady of Fatima. I'm specifically looking for art/classic movies heavily themed around Christian themes, history, theology, etc. I'm a huge film nerd, so movies centered around
Christianity and the Faith.
