“I was built to protect, not to love”.
That is such a great analysis.
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it.
I absolutely love how you saw God and Jesus in this movie!!! This movie was a way to make mainstream people realize who God Jesus and divine love is and the strength of love to cast out evil n fear without people getting sensitive
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it. I love finding God in movies, and this is one of my favorites so once I started this channel I knew I had to go back to this one. Thank you so much for watching!
Your analysis made me emotional I love this and it makes me love the movie even more
Thank you, so glad you enjoyed it. It's one of things I want to do with these analyses, up the appreciation for movie as well as giving it a different point of view.
Listening to this theological analysis makes me understand why I this is one of me favorite movies of all time. God is love and I love Him for loving me
One thing I always wondered is how Mr. Shadow got Zorg to go along with his plan to destroy all life in the universe. Did he lie about his objectives? Zorg was a monster and even he acknowledged as much, but even monsters will sometimes have moral lines they won't cross, where they're like: "You want to do what?! Hell no, I'm not down with that."
Who knows? Maybe Mr. Shadow made him promises he never intended to keep. Promises that sounded to good to be true. Look at the Serpent in the Garden. The Serpent knew what would happen, but he made the fruit look so apealing and so good.
@@ChrisDurban So basically, Mr. Shadow lied to Zorg. It's the only logical explanation. Knowingly making a bargain with a malignant entity who's planning to wipe out all life in the universe would be a dumb thing to do, regardless of whether you're good or evil; such a being would have no reason not to betray and murder you the instant you outlived your usefulness to it.
Interesting analysis on the meaning of love within the story, however I feel like you missed some theological references and other references that drastically change the meaning.
I don't think religion is portrayed particularly positively in this story.
The antagonist, Zorg, actually has a much longer and telling name. When Zorg meets the priest for the first time, we get his full name - Jean Baptiste Emanuel Zorg.
For those who aren't aware, these are biblical references to John the Baptist and Emmanuel is the romanized version of Immanuel, which is a reference to the scripture of Isaiah 7 that prophesizes the coming of the messiah, named Imanuel which means "god with us".
FABULOUS analysis!!
Thank you so much!
really great video, keep up the fine work 😊🙏
Thank you so much!
This was awesome what a great parallel bro. Such a clear comparison in the work that we see in Christ! Very nicely done!
Thank you much Al! I really appreciate that :)
+Al Seward Thanks Al!
This analysis blew my mind! Amazing :)
+Caro Kirsten Thank you so much!!
Awesome analysis thats all i can say, keep up the good work bro !!!
this is so NOW.
New to your channel do you often do theological reviews.
Yes I do, thank you so much for watching.
Absolutely a brilliant review.
Thank you!
Now, four years later, Interstellar got such s*** for essentially saying the same thing--that love might be a concrete entity...
Lol! It did didn't it? I like Interstellar. The scene inside the Tesseract was weird, but it was a good movie. Thanks for watching!
Interesting
Thank you! And thank you so much for watching and commenting! Did you like Fifth Element?
+xpallodoc Thank you, and thank you for watching!
hi
Hello
Does this person know what the word theology means?
Are you asking me?
If only God didn't play favorites with what he loved. His lack of love for the Angels is what made Lucifer rebel, so if not for that, Lucifer would have never entered the Garden of Eden, tempted Eden and introduced sin into the world. The sin of God is favoritism and rejection of the very beings who help to make his precious world possible. There is no such thing as a perfect being, divine or otherwise, we were made in the image of God, and like God, we also play favorites with our own children, and as a result one of them ends up doing bad things to make up for the love they didn't receive.
Perfection doesn't play favorites, and Love most certainly does play favorites, because love is based on a deep emotional value embedded into a person or object, therefore if God is love then God is flawed. Once you can reconcile that love isn't perfect, but is something that must be worked on every day of your life to care for, maintain, and humble yourself toward, then you will have everlasting love because it is love everworked for.
Love is humbling, and it is something that has to be worked at everyday. I agree with that. But God is perfect, the Bible is very clear He doesn't play favorites. We humans are fallen, and that perspective that "Love most certainly does play favorites, because love is based on a deep emotional value embedded into a person or object, therefore if God is love then God is flawed" is a very human perspective. That's what we do in the natural and that's our experience. God's perspective is closer to this, "But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners." So He placed value on us when there should've been no value at all. We are made in the image of God, but as you said sin was introduced. So love is still in our nature. We want to be loved, we want to love others, but sin brings with it that brokenness. Jacob in the Bible loves his 12 sons, but he wasn't perfect and his love wasn't perfect. Joseph was his favorite. So his 10 older brothers sold him into slavery and told Jacob he had died. Jacob's love wasn't perfect. Let's look at God's love. Joseph's brothers sinned and sold Joseph into slavery, wherever Joseph went God prospered him. Joseph gets raised up to 2nd in command of all Egypt and sees his bothers again. He forgives them. He had the power to truly punish them. But he forgives their sin, that was God's heart. That was God loving through Joseph.
Let's look at Jesus Himself. He was tortured. His friends abandoned Him. As He hung on the cross and people mocked Him His prayer was, "Father, forgive them they know not what they do." When the pressure is on our true nature comes out. Jesus' true nature came out as He prayed for the forgiveness of those that were killing Him. Now when it comes to angels He made the angels one way and us another. Lucifer's fall was pride, he wanted God's throne. Angels are not human, and Hebrews 1 talks about about how they were made to be ministering spirits (Hebrews 1:14). You can bet God loves the angels but they are totally different with a totally different nature than us. We were made to be His sons and daughters. To look at that as God playing favorites with His kids is a very human point of view. There's far more there than we can understand. We may not understand all those lofty things until we see God face to face, but we can know God is Love and He is just. The angels have their story, and their relationship with God and we have ours.
By the way, I really do appreciate your comment and point of view. Thank you for commenting. My hope is you can come away knowing God truly does love you.
No, friend. The excess of love God felt for Lucifer was unbearable to him, like an angsty teenager who is uncomfortable around their parents. He feared God's goodwill for him, and transmuted his fear into a desire to be the object rather than the subject of fear. In doing so he split himself in two (Satan/Lucifer) and became the source of all subsequent bifurcation and division in the world, for example, the split between Eve and God, and then between Adam and Eve, and then between Cain and Abel, and so on.
Is my favourite movie
It is a good one!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you!
I think you would find Dr. Jordan Peterson's psychological interpretation lectures of the Bible interesting.
inkas legend I wilk have to check that out. Thank you!
I want a remake of this movie but better graphics and better story
I love it for the hokiness it is with the story. But the graphics can be touched up for sure
