Dreamworks should make more christian based movies

[@ScotsThinker]

Maybe there won't be another Animation Masterpiece film like 'The Prince of Egypt' yet by Acts 17 logic, we can find Christian themes in Dreamworks' movies. Especially, their recent success, 'Puss in Boots: The Last Wish'. A film all about Counting your Blessings, Being grateful for your Life, rejecting the easy path of getting what you want and instead gaining what you need, and especially conquering your fear of Death.

[@RhiannonSenpai]

DreamWorks was founded by 3 Jewish guys: Steven Spielberg, Jeffrey Katzenberg and David Geffen. It's not "Dreamworks should make more Christian movies", they never made Christian movies in the first place. Prince of Egypt adapts the story of Moses from the Old Testament, nothing from the New Testament. DreamWorks will never make a movie adaptating the New Testament/life of Jesus.

I’d add Jesus of Nazareth, as well as Andrey Rublev to this list.

[@georgetsoukalas1409]

The Passion of a Christ is truly incredible. I teared up multiple times watching, and when Christ says to His Holy Mother "Behold mother, I make all things new", I burst into tears and started saying to myself 'WHAT DID HE SAY! WHAT DID HE SAY". In Greek its something you say when you are impressed by someone's sayings. I could not contain myself from praising His words.

All good choices. I'm glad you all gave Ben-Hur some love. I think it's a brilliant classic film in every way that movies are measured by: acting, cinematography, stunt work, action sequences, costumes etc. It's kind of amazing what they pulled off in the 50s with films like Ben-Hur and The 10 Commandments.

[@Zachymcsmacky]

Big up Ben-Hur!!! Other classics I'd recommend are The Robe (about a Roman Tribune and his slave who come in contact with Christ's robe at the crucifixion - fun fact: first widescreen movie), Quo Vadis (about Nero's persecution of Christians, Peter's final ministry and the burning of Rome) and The Greatest Story Ever Told (it's an almost 4 hour hour epic, made up of gospel tableaus - every shot is beautifully composed like a fresco, and it's very theatrical. It's rather long and slow, basically the film equivalent of walking around a basilica. One of the greatest scenes in all of cinema history is the resurrection of Lazarus, the midpoint climax).

[@HenryHoolington]

I just watched Cecile B Demile’s the 10 commandments on the weekend and it was really well done for a 1950s movie. Almost 4 hours long but I didn’t have a problem sitting through the whole movie

[@ElonMuskrat-my8jy]

One of my favorites. Seen it many times. I would watch it growing up when it came on tv on Easter.

[@Love-One-Another]

"The Gospel of John" (2003) which is now called "The Life of Jesus" on Amazon is the best word for word gospel movie and done very well too. Next would be "Jesus Film" (1979) for another word for word movie about Christ. No "Hollywood" additions added to these films. Oh and "The Nativity Story" (2006) is also very good.

[@shawnpatrick1877]

Another one I would add is Franco Zeffirelli's "Jesus of Nazareth," mini-series.

[@Zachymcsmacky]

[@stephenlee1664]

Great series. Probably the best portrayal of Christ.

[@davidekstrand8544]

I would like to recommend the TV movie The Scarlet and the Black (1983), starring Gregory Peck and Christopher Plummer. It is the story of Hugh O’ Flaherty, an Irish priest who was Monsignor of the Vatican during the German occupation of Rome in WWII. He would help and aid thousands of Jews, Allied POWs, and others, evade the Nazis.

[@pierlucaloreto6774]

I fondly remember watching Kevin Reynolds’ “Risen” of 2016 too! A very inspiring movie. Also it’s supposed to be an unofficial sequel of “The Passion of the Christ”, as it talks about the 40 days after Christ’s resurrection up to the Ascension. Has anybody other seen it? What do you think?

[@holtscustomcreations]

I like everything about Risen except the cat and mouse chase at the end of the movie. I felt that quasi 4th act was completely disjointed from the rest of the movie. If they would have just cut to black and credits roll when our centurion meets Jesus eating with his disciples the movie would be a 10 out of 10.

[@Tommasso_]

Kyle, what do you think about Tarkovsky's filmography? He's probably the most known Orthodox filmmaker.

[@RhiannonSenpai]

FYI: No big Hollywood movie studio made any Jesus movie. The biggest one: The Passion of the Christ (2004) was made by Mel Gibson's independent production company and the biggest Jesus TV series: Jesus of Nazareth (1977) was made by a non Hollywood, Italian company. Also, the biggest Jesus internet/streaming series The Chosen was made by an independent non Hollywood production company. So for adapting The New Testament to film/TV, it was never because of Hollywood but despite Hollywood.
