it doesn't matter if there is or is not a god. you would not want to live in a country that did not allow you to pursue the question.
I had this for a while before I watched it, and I wasn't really expecting much. Maybe that's why I really loved it. Fantastic movie, up to a point, at least.
Hey sagamoi... PROVE IT! There is a God. Just cause YOU dont believe doesnt mean HE isnt real. Get a life.
xodus 20:4-5 says, "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them.
I'm 63 and I remember the Jesus Freaks of the 1970's. It was an interesting theology of forgiveness in the face of unaccountability. One of the school yard bullies as my school was a Jesus Freak. I asked him what Jesus would think about him beating kids up and he said, "He forgives me!" and I asked him, "Yeah, but does he have to do it every day?"
"I was there. In the years 1971 to about 1973, I sat in the front pew (if there were space for me) in that church in Riverside, CA (aka All Saint's Episcopal Church) within 20 feet of Greg Laurie ... The movie avoided some tough stuff; which was probably the right thing to do, ... I'll avoid specifics not to spoil things for those who have not yet seen the movie but trust me, there was some tough stuff to the movement too. I loved this movie. It took me back. And it adds to the record and the significance of the Jesus Movement in American religious history." (quoting IMDB)
@karlpopper, you made me curious. Even I was born, and I live in an ex-communist country, my parents told me that in the 70s before Ceausescu went mad, in Romania was a good life for young people, they knew what hippie was. My late dad listened to Jimi Hendrix, Janice Joplin and stuff.
Seen a review said they didnt see anything of this wonder where they lived. They dont remember The Way. all of the Jesus things around. Everywhere u looked it was there. Either they were blind or living in a cave.
The first IMDB review shown is from someone who says "I don't know what group of people this movie is attempting to document, but I grew up in the 70s and never met a single one of them." One of my best friends was raised by a hippie Christian cult in Northern California, so I know EXACTLY who this movie is documenting! The experience messed my friend up for life in a way he will never fully recover from. Not sure if I'm going to watch this one though.
This is a really good movie documentary with high production value dramatized based on real events. impressive.
