I saw it yesterday in a sold out theatre. It was great. So many people clapping and praising the Lord.
I think it’s good for chosen cast to be in the show… so people remember to separate them as actors from the historical characters they portray in one interpretation of a Biblical series.
That makes a lot of sense. I needed to see Johnathan as a different character.
Great point
I went to see it this weekend . I was there during the revolution .I was saved during the revolution. Watching the movie brought so many wonderful memories and goosebump moments. I pray that we are in the midst of another Jesus revolution with chosen becoming so overwhelming popular . This world is so broken I feel god is this time to remind us that he is and has been you only need to say YES
I went to Calvary Chapel in the late 70's. Chuck was an amazing teacher. Lonnie was used by God to bring in a huge number of young people. Chuck discipled them (us). So many awesome pastors came from that.
Then they turned you into Republican voters, then amerkkka worshippers, then Trump voters. This is not our kingdom, and hippies knew that. I got saved back then and resisted their attempts to turn me into a voter!!!
I was part of that movement also only in Indiana. Amazing to see ourselves on screen.
I took our teens from our church to Harvest Crusades led by Gregg. They gave their lives to the Lord. It was awesome !!
One of the best parts is hearing about some of the cast and crew giving their lives to Christ during the filming at Pirates Cove
How ever we can gather , we gather. God will sit on the shore separating the good fish from the bad.
It was a PHENOMENAL movie!!! It shows how GOD uses those of us who are flawed and full of shortcomings. JUST like EVERYONE who ever served God throughout ALL of Scriptures!!! Praise You Lord Jesus 🙏🏼🕊️🙌🏼
I recommend watching the documentary "Frisbee: The Life and Death of a Hippie Preacher". It gives an in depth view of Lonnie's struggles and how the church reacted. An eye opener for sure. No spoilers, but there is much more to the story than what I saw at the movie tonight.
Yeah the story wasn’t really about Lonnie overall. Mainly about the movement itself and Greg Laurie
I enjoyed the movie too. Loved the music. I was surprised it was more about Greg than Lonnie. I laughed and cried. Well done
I'm so glad that more faith-based movies are being done. God is moving!
Philippians 1:18,: But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached. And because of this I rejoice. Yes, and I will continue to rejoice,
Loved this movie, can't wait to see it again.
I heard the gospel and put my faith in Jesus in 1970 in central California. I was 14 and and Air Force brat- certainly not a hippie- but the movement reached my entire family. Loved this movie and the soundtrack was my personal soundtrack. Loved it! Still faithfully walking with my Savior and am surrounded by people saved thru the Jesus Revolution of late 60s early 70s. ❤
Saw it it is wonderful!!
Oh, and the costumes were awesome
So glad you recommended it. I talked my small group into going Friday night and am happy to hear it is good!
I went to see the Jesus revolution this evening with my adult daughter.
I thought it was excellent. Nothing is perfect. But this was a true story also.
I think that many people should see it because it speaks truth and it’s really good for the younger generation to see what the glorious ideas of hippies are not!!
It’s history. I was there at that time, but not a hippie.
I remember all of that. I hope this starts a trend and maybe even a beginning of a revival because we need to all be Jesus freaks for sure.
I've seen the movie the Jesus Revolution and absolutely I endorse it! You have got to see this movie and looking forward to Kevin Sorbo left behind
Great review guys. Thanks.
I too saw this movie. So this wasn’t just a movie for me it was my “coming to Jesus” testimony. I left religion and ran to Jesus Christ after a teen acoustic guitar trio was invited into our very religious church and harmonized the word. I saw with my own eyes that impact these teenagers had on the then (My Generation Z) I believe the movie was excellent however the actor that played Lonnie was not a fit. The person Lonnie actually was fit the stereotype California hippie teen. The trio that played in my church that Sunday in 1973 were blonde sun tanned and creatively dressed. Hahahaha. Praise God. 🌞🌱❤️
My wife and I saw Jesus Revolution this weekend, and we really liked the movie too!
Great film. Go see it.
Well said. My wife & I saw the film here in Michigan on the 23rd and it stirred something in both of us. We absolutely loved it. God is moving and it’s wonderful to be alive in 2023 to see it. 🙏
I went this weekend with all my teens and I agree with you. Our kids loved the movie and just like you said they feel like how the hippies felt in that time. The movie shows that as Christians we are human and we make mistakes we are not perfect. Praise God for this movie..
Yes, you should.
We totally enjoyed this movie. We were part of the Jesus movement and it brought us back to time when we became believers. It kind of started a fire again.
👋, going to see Jesus Revolution 😀, thanks for sharing
Great review can't wait to watch the movie myself
I want to watch it, but as of now it's only been released in the United States. I'm in the Philippines so I haven't seen it yet.
I loved it! I got saved in a Calvary Chapel and was raised in my walk at Calvary. It was great to see it's beginning! I cried through a lot of it.
Have you and Vanessa seen Discarded Things? When you talked about a real and authentic side of people, especially Christians, my mind went straight to that movie. Overall, it's pretty good and was incredibly impactful to me.
I saw it too last night. I loved it too. Brought back memories of then and hopefully touches this generation.
It's an Amazing movie that shows the paths of three different men, a struggling pastor, a passionate hippie street preacher, and a teenager man who is saved at the beginning of the movement and ends up taking a roll as future pastor and preacher in the movement.
Loved the movie. Thanks for the break down. I thought possibly Chuck made a mistake in calling Lonnie down though. Conservatives often don't react in the Spirit either 😇
This movement came to Minnesota where I lived in the north suburbs of the Twin Cities. I'm sure it was a greater area than this, but I was only 16 so this was all I knew. It hit our church and surrounding churches with the power of the Holy Spirit. This was so very different for our Wesleyan church. It wasn't a Jesus People movement. It was it's own Charismatic movement. It was very powerful!! Miracles happened. But also division. Many left their current church to find a church who allowed the Holy Spirit. It was life changing!! So amazing!!
I saw the first showing of the Early Release and was so excited because I lived that era and was a hippie in Arkansas who met some people from Calvary Chapel as they came east to "evangelize" hippies across the country. I loved the soundtrack--the soundtrack of my youth, and felt the songs chosen were perfect to backdrop the emotion of the scenes. You're right about it being very honest about the brokenness of each character, and I admit it was very difficult watching those scenes where "Lonnie" is exhibiting problems with his Christian experience. I know those things happened pretty much for real, and it did kind of side step some of the more serious backsliding he went through. Still it was tough to watch--and Jonathan did really well portraying that dark side. I met Kelsey in high school when our schools competed in theater competitions--and he won all the awards, so I'm partial to him, and he underplayed Chuck Smith, but that was needed for this film. No grand gestures, but gentle transformations that still have cracks revealing weaknesses. Beautifully portrayed. Joel carried his first major motion picture quite well, and I'm sure his co-stars helped him with that pressure, because he performed as if he had been carrying pictures his whole life. Cinematography and other production values were top game. I thought the sub theme of a young man dealing with abandonment is one that a lot of people--including myself--can resonate with--and to show that God the Father never abandons us--and though Lonnie left Greg, Chuck never did. I really hoped there would be some salvation event for Greg's mom, but not knowing the true nature of their relationship, I guess they open-ended it where they needed to--leaving the viewer hopeful that "mom" would accept Jesus. I did enjoy the movie, and I will go back, and probably buy the DVD. Also I was jumping in my seat when Paras showed up in the cameo and laughed at the exchange they had on screen, kind of an "inside joke" for Chosen fans. That was well played. Thanks, John Erwin, for a great film--and if you need new material, I have a book about a lay minister (dear friend of mine) who was framed on four counts of murder and how I spent seven years trying to prove him innocent. I can send you a copy if you contact me on Facebook Messenger with your contact information.
Thanks for your review. I'm planning on going to see it next week. I'm glad you included some spoilers. Since it's based on a true story, I was wondering how that played out.
I saw it last Friday and it was fantastic. It brought back beautiful memories of when I was born-again in 1973. It was during the heart of this movement, and it was a beautiful time.
My husband and I went & took our 10 year old grandson. He is very mature for his age & an old soul at heart. We all enjoyed it so much. I pray it reaches many for Christ. To live with Jesus, having a daily relationship with Him living in you, brings such fulfillment within. It’s making your life about something more than all about you. It’s living for Him! ❤️
Thank you, Brandon and Vanessa. I really appreciate your thoughts especially about how flawed those who follow Jesus are. We need truth and yet vulnerability.
great
We absolutely LOVED this movie.
I got saved during the tail end of the Jesus movement in 1978. I was worried you wouldn’t like this movie. A lot of folks have focused on Lonnie’s flaws later in life and use that to dismiss how God used him. The 70’s was weird and crazy but also an amazing time. I can’t help but compare the world today to what it was like back then.
I think that a few people said that God still used Lonnie to bring people to Himself. . . yeah, how 'bout that!
Enjoyed the actors. There were some moments i wasnt sure of.
Makes me want to watch Woodlawn 😊
Great take brother! I just watched the film last night, too. My hubby and I have been pretty excited about it since it’s been the theme of the Harvest Crusade last year, so we watched it ahead of time. SPOILER ALERT. A common comment about the movie is that there was so much going on, Pastor Chuck’s story, Lonnie’s story and teenage Greg’s story and also some of teenage Cathy’s story. Then of course, the hippies coming to Jesus. Overall, it’s our favorite Christian movie as of now and we’re happy that it’s been reaching a wider audience than just the christian community. (Feel free to delete if spoilers aren’t allowed) Btw, I’m wondering if you watched the new Left Behind. How about if you make a video on that? Glad to meet you! -Hanna
Spoilers always allowed here 😂
@@TheSnipeLife Great! Lol. I look forward to more of your content. -Hanna
I was a "Blippie" as black folks didn't get to be hippies back in the day.
Maybe in the US, but elsewhere you would have been a hippie 😊
@@ruby11 Nothing like home sweet home. LOL
@@twizzle1710 I know, I know 😊
Really? I never knew that. Wow
I want to go see it in theaters. So glad you liked it. Maybe someone will do a movie of Azuza Street outpouring.
As Christians we shouldn’t gossip. From what I’ve read Lonnie repented so we should leave it at that.
I agree. And none of us are in a position to look down on anyone else. We all need the same amount of forgiveness.
Lonnie Frisbee did indeed repent from his sins, and he returned to the Lordship of Jesus Christ, before his death from AID
Pastors Greg Laurie and Mike MacIntosh were able to visit Lonnie Frisbee, at a hospice facility in Newport Beach, CA, right before his passing. They prayed for Lonnie, who knew that his sin was terribly wrong and that there was no better place to be in this life and eternity than with Jesus.
I agree. I don't hear anyone speculating about whether Greg and Cathe indulged in sexual immorality during their "Free Love" phase. We don't need to know every time these believers stumbled. We can know them by their fruit. Sadly, the Alphabet Mafia want to make gay heroes out of anyone who has ever been tempted. Lonnie himself stated for the record that he never lived a gay lifestyle. That is good enough for me.
This a MUST SEE movie. God works through people. Even their faults. Come to Jesus and fill the unfillable void.
I particularly support the point made about characters in Christian films needing to be more multi-dimensional, and showing their flawed, human side. The Bible is replete with these kinds of examples and there is nothing wrong with the audience leaving the theaters realizing that, for example, Lonnie Frisbee was a very troubled man who met with a sad end. The Chosen shows this kind of vulnerability and I'm glad this film does so as well. The Father uses all kinds of people in so many different ways! Looking forward to seeing it on Sunday. :)
This was my generation.
Thanks for the "spoilers". Being a pre-teen in the 70's, not relating to the hippie movement because of the drug use, I was going to avoid the movie altogether. Now, knowing how they display the "faults" in the characters, I might watch once it comes out streaming. I'm still on the fence about going to the theater. I've only gone to the theater 4 times in the past year; The Chosen Christmas show, and the Season 3 final. The other 2 times were for my brother visiting from out of state. So, it takes a lot for me to go to the theater.
Yes, yes you should! It was the best movie I've ever seen!
I lived in California at time I was born in the 40’s
Just got back from seeing this with my 'Chosen' Bible study group. I loved it!
The chosen actor calls himself the other JC why on earth would anyone watch that blasphemous show
I think it’s a good movie it’s about Greg Laurie’s path to Christ as well
The one who plays Greg Laurie and his girlfriend remind me of Adam and Eve she was the one who introduced him to drugs and then she introduced him to Jesus. Overall great movie!!
I got saved on a street corner in Greenwich Village NYC in 1976, praying with the Forever Family, one of the many controlled cults coming out of that movement. The salvation was real, and the dragon waiting for our rebirth to devour us was real, too. I'm afraid to watch this movie because I turned on, tuned in, and dropped out and then found Yeshua. I read the Bible before ever going to a church and was shocked at some of their doctrines, like pretrib rapture. No wonder Lonnie lost his way. LSD showed him a truth that no one who has not done LSD can ever understand. Trying to turn him into a good republican, which I'm sure Chuck Smith tried to do, is the reason why he back slid. I back slid in the 80's, too, when the things the Evangelicals taught me turned out to be off the mark, and tied up with amerkkka worship. Back then, Pat Robertson was paying for gun running to Central America to fight the Contras. We are supposed to love our enemies. Be ware of non hippie Christians!!! Turn on, tune in, drop out, get saved, stay out!
Can someone on here help me find the video that he did on the demons being cast in to the pigs? I can't seem to find it.
So the movie is more like The Greg Laurie Story? I'll pass.
The director of the JESUS REVOLUTION movie, Jon Irwin, personally sought out Pastor Greg Laurie, to make this film based on the historical time in American history specifically, through the LENS of Greg and Cathe Laurie. Also, based on the TIME magazine cover (and article) entitled JESUS REVOLUTION, and Pastor Greg Laurie's book of the same name.
Director Jon Irwin's intention was to make the 1/3 storyline about Pastor Greg Laurie, his and his now wife, Cathe Laurie's conversion to Christianity, and their love story, which is an important part of the film.
The real focus of the film is the JESUS REVOLUTION itself and the Jesus movement that swept across this nation, and the world, which literally changed the lives of tens of millions.
Overall i enjoyed the movie
If you didn't comment on it i Probably would never have watched it I hate cheesy movies. Thanks
Lonnie Frisbee started to think this movement was "his" as it started to grow. Then he leaves. It struck me as odd. I'm just glad that kids got off drugs and got on Jesus! I remember that era, as I grew up in that time. Lonnie was young when he died of AIDS.
Salmon
Tilapia
in the 60's there was a big Jesus movement and they were called Jesus freaks lol
Jesus freaks was a name given to the baptized people of the same movement. A lot of them went out and evangelized throughout the continent and beyond. The Jesus freaks ending up in western Canada were instrumental in my own salvation.
Wonderful. Yes, they were an amazing force of love.
I don't really care if they label me a Jesus freak. And yes, I was there.
Does this give a clear representation of the Gospel?
Not sure if it’s in the version released this weekend, but there was a full gospel presentation by Greg at the end of the credits when we went.
It gives a clear representation of history.
I finally saw it and when Lonnie has Greg in the water asking him if he wants to make a decision, it was clear to me. I’m thankfully for that.
Am I the only one who thinks the movie was actually not a cut above your average Christian film?
Yes
Just what we need… A preacher telling us what we should watch the movie. 😂
He can't have an opinion?
@@donmcc6573 Sure ….but telling others what to watch or not? Come on, man
@@donmcc6573 It’s a GREAT MOVIE THO, ….in my opinion. 😆
i am going on payday
ITS NOT IN PORTUGAL😭😭😭😭
i will watch the movie if it is streamed but I do not go to theaters any more, but that was my era and I remember it well, I have to confess I hated the hippis back then hated them when they became yuppies in the 80s and still detest them now that they are full marxist today, they started out socialist and as it always does when they run out of other pepoles money and other peoples work they become commies. I saw the Jesus movement it was great, untill the Moonies and Krishna cults took it over. Satan always has an anti movement to counter.
Wow, so much hatred. Not a Christian value--we are to love those who hate us, and especially reach out to those we don't understand. The Outcasts are the ones Jesus singled out to find. The sinners and prostitutes, etc. Not to condemn them, but to show them a better way. I hope you learn to let go of your hatred. Plus, I'm well aware of the Moonies and Krishnas, as we used to hand out Bible tracts to them on the street corners while we played our hand held instruments (Guitars, harmonicas, autoharps, tambourines, bongos, whatever else we could easily carry) and sang Scripture songs. There were also Children of God, Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormons, Ba'hai, and others we witnessed to of the love and power of Jesus. I would say those who joined some of those groups were not attracted to Christianity at all---not people who tried it and left Christianity for Sun Yeung Moon or Buddhism or Hinduism. And they were mostly following after the Beatles anyway. Speaking of which, Ringo accepted Jesus Christ as his savior and Paul converted to Judaism. I could name dozens of popular Rock Stars who have come to know Christ, and have even attended church with a couple of them. You're right--Satan always has an anti-movement to counter the workings of God through the Holy Spirit, and certainly tried to hijack the love fest at Asbury the last two weeks. To their credit, school officials made the right calls to toss them off campus and shut it down on a specific date.
Bro! There are MANY things wrong with this movie, and you DIDN’T touch on ANY of them.
What do you mean in particular?
Because there are none.
Excited to see a cocaine bear... 😅
This sounds like a movie I'd want to skip as a Christian. Was the simple Gospel (1. Corinthians 15:1-4) ever taught in this movie, or is it all about feelings, experiences but not truth, like the mayhem going on at Asbury right now? If it's a false Gospel, then it's a false "revival" (and they invariably are false because people are so easily deceived by emotional experience and not the truth), a false Jesus and not the Holy Spirit.
Why can't revival involve feelings and experiences? I agree with you that if it's all about a spiritual high with no real conversion, then it's a waste of time. However, unless you are God, you can't call what's going on at Asbury "mayhem". You have no idea what God is doing there.
@@misspriss2482 I have an idea because I've seen clips of that false revival and the Gospel was never once taught. It was all about "repent of your sins" (which neither Christ nor His apostles ever taught) and get baptized to be saved. That is not the Gospel. It's a false gospel that saves nobody. The Gospel in a nutshell is 1. Corinthians 15:1-4, or in the book of Acts where Paul told the Philippian jailer how to be saved: "Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved." Grace alone through faith alone, in Christ ALONE is how to be saved. That's not the Spirit of God at Ashbury, it's the Charismatic/Pentecostal spirit and it's downright demonic. I'm not buying it. False gospel = false "revival". It happened in the Jesus Movement, it happened in Azuza Street and it's happening now at Asbury. False gospel = no salvation. It's sad that so many are buying into this ecumenical movement that's straight out of the pits of hell.
I would like to assure you that the Jesus Movement was a GENUINE REVIVAL! And yes, it was highly charged emotionally as a RESULT OF BEING SAVED, WASHED IN THE BLOOD, BEING GIVEN HOPE WHEN THERE WAS NONE, AND FINDING TOTAL PURPOSE IN HIM! The joy of having found Him of Whom your heart longed was palpable. But this new faith also craved information about Christ, and Bible Studies with sound teaching were gobbled up. Also, though works themselves don't save, tone of the litmus test is to ask are the converts displaying fruit of the Spirit and going about doing good? Another resounding YES! Giving people the in literal shirts off their backs was common as was the free sharing in of worldly goods. Many helpful ministries were founded. ( A good example of this would be to view "The Keith Green Story" where Melanie, Keith's wife tells their story and it's a case study of the times then-from unbelieving hippies to fruit producing abundantly believers.)
You pose a good question. But examination and research and TALKING TO US,THE JESUS FREAKS THEMSELVES (yes, many/most of us are still alive 😄, may be quite re-assuring
@@ms7953 Oh wow, I'd love to talk to you since I've never met a member of that movement (I'm in Germany so I wouldn't anyway). But I do have one question right off the bat. If I asked you how to be saved and how to know I'm saved, what would your response be?
@@beautyforashes3929 Hello! I think the most direct scriptures would be Romans 10:9" If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved." (Of course this is on a discussion on of Who Christ is.) And a good pairing with Romans would be Ephesians 2:8,9 "For it is by grace you have been saved through faith, and this not of yourselves, it is the gift of God lest anyone should boast (or so no one can boast.)" As to the question of how do I know I am saved? The most concise answer would be- I know on the authority of God's word. If someone needs that explained, we used to say "God said it, I believe it,that settles it." I think most believers struggle with this at some point or points in their lives, especially when the enemy of our souls brings it up. I have used on occasion used this excercise which I observed by someone else many years ago. If someone has doubts or is troubled about their salvation, I ask them if they want to be a Follower, even if they feel they are. I say, "Well, let's make sure." We get a piece of paper and pen, and write these 2 verses (Romans and Ephesians) on that paper. Then I ask, "Do you confess Him with your mouth?"
If they say yes, I say, "Go ahead, tell me Who Jesus is." And maybe also some other things about Christ- His purpose, His death, His resurrection, His return, that He came in the flesh, resurrected and has sat down at the right-hand of God, etc. Important things to say aloud. And that He has covered their sin, and they have asked for forgiveness, and want to follow Him. Then I have them sign and date that paper right under the verse from Romans. Then they write out the verse from Ephesians, read it aloud, explain it, then sign beneath it with the date and their signature. Then I tell them, " Next time the enemy or your own soul doubts your salvation, you say "That's a lie" and pull this paper out and say, " On this date, I was saved on the authority of God's Word." Then go seek His face as His lamb and ask where you need help or if He is prompting you to examine an area in their life. Having the actual date seems very, very helpful in resisting the enemy. And especially for new or not as committed individuals, it is a good reminder that the stirring they feel may indeed be something that He is bringing to light to work on.
**I Am SO SORRY I FOUND ON RE-READING MY ANSWER I DIDN'T TYPE THE FULL ROMANS VERSE. I tried to fix it but HERE IT IS JUST IN CASE:
" If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved." Romans 10:9
JESUS REVOLUTION 🎥🎭🍿🍫🥤😋💦 FIVE 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 MOVIE EXCELLENT TRUE STORY BEAUTIFULLY WRITTEN STORY. I was baptized at Pirates Cove 🦀 SoCal on August 76 and I wasn't a hippie but 47 years later I'm still walking and talking the faith. 🏜️☝️😎✝️🛐👑❤️
I also thought it was much better than I thought it would be! I even found myself teary eyed during a couple of scenes. 🥹✌️
