    Man I really enjoyed this movie as well. I thought the directing, acting and music were all very well done. LaKieth is definitely the stand out to me. Your note on the the location they used is extremely important. The world really did look and feel lived it. And I also agree with you that the slowed down 3rd act made sense for this movie. Really good review man.

    Great review, I enjoyed the movie a lot and agree with all of your standouts. I am glad they didn't go with trying to make it Bibically accurate because then more people would have taken issues with the movie in my opinion. Jeymes Samuel is one of the best up and coming directors in Hollywood. I love the way he writes, directs and scores his movies. You can tell he cares about telling great stories and authentically black stories without putting us in a negative light.

    I get why someone might call this a blasphemous movie, but I don't understand is that same person will turn around and treat a book like the great controversy like its gospel. Now that is real blasphemy.

    Clarence becoming the new Messiah is literally blasphemy. Jesus and the 12 disciples being portrayed as the cool guys is blasphemy.

    • @screenzenreviews
      @screenzenreviews  Před 3 měsíci

      The disciples were away with the Jesus we know in the movie, and werent the focus, as its clarences book. It was more of a redemption story not replacement. Also I'm sure some of Jesus's disciples were "cool guys" who changed there lives especially Paul who used to harrass Israelites before Jesus met him. The disciples wouldn't be how we portray them in stain glass if that makes sense they were real ppl.

      What about drawing a white Jesus? Isn't this also blasphemy?
      Just think about the word blasphemy. Some people gathered some writings, 300 years after Jesus died, and created "the bible". And blasphemy is when you say something different than that old story?
      Would God be mad because of blasphemy? Imagine being immortal, being the creator of the universe, but getting mad because of a joke 😢

    It seems to me that the first thing to say about this racist video is that those who were then in the Land of Israel were mostly of Middle Eastern appearance and not of sub-Saharan African appearance!! Imagine if they made a video about Shaka Zulu and they would bring Brad Pitt in his role and they would bring European people to play in the movie as Africans and they would try to say that Shaka Zulu and his people were not Africans they were Europeans
    Sounds ridiculous and racist doesn't it?!
    Of course, how much yelling and screaming would be heard from you in such a case
    You would probably shout something like "they are stealing our history and identity" but when you do it in your own country and to other peoples and cultures on the other side of the world, then it's okay, right?!
    As if it wasn't enough that you tried to appropriate Cleopatra from the Egyptians and the Greeks
    In the documentary that Jada Pinkett Smith
    did!! And after that you cry about racism maybe stop trying to appropriate the cultures of other nations!!!
    In short, this film is undoubtedly this film is the most
    black Wash film that exists today or at least for this decade!!

      Every biblical movie does this. You don't know that Israelis at that time weren't black Africans. Just because there are European Jews today, doesn't mean there weren't and aren't black African Jews.
