Many of you have asked me if I like the movie "God's Not Dead." Here's my review:
I enjoyed this film.
I especially favored the issues addressed (unequally yoked, being
shunned for being a Christian, dementia, creation, etc.). What bothered me, as in most Christian films,
is the UNREALISTIC picture painted by the producers.
It seemed to me that every character, which is ‘developed’ becomes
a Christian, including the atheist professor who professes Christ in his last
breath. I am not denying this could
happen? It's just I've been by the bedside of people
who have heard the gospel for decades, and they refused to believe through
their last breath. (This may be true of
someone you know, too.)
Also, the scene
in the classroom where the freshman induces the professor to lose his cool --
like a courtroom drama on TV -- and confess, out loud, to the entire student
body that he hates God for taking everything from him. Come on!
Really! I could go on -- far too many hokey things
like these permeate Christian movies. And, should I mention the car not starting
over, and over and over again. Call
AAA! That's my gripe.
Again,
I would recommend this film for the issues it raises and the answers it
gives. As a Christian it's encouraging. I just wish Christian filmmakers would paint a
more true-to-life picture.
My favorite
Christian movie of all time is “Chariots of Fire.” It’s true to life and glorifies Christ
without being hokey. That my review.
