The Apostle

Name: The Apostle scores 61 — Live Historic
Item: The Apostle

61Watch it awake.

A sinner who still believes. Adults. One of the true American pictures of religion.

Pass it on

The review

Most films about preachers are recruitment or exposure. This one is a man. Sonny is gifted, violent, sorry, and not finished being any of those. He loves God and he has done a thing he cannot preach his way out of. The church he builds is a true congregation. The law still has a claim. Both facts stand.

Adults. The charge is to stop dividing people into frauds and saints on sight. Look at the fruit and the harm in the same person, including in yourself.

Journal

Keep The Apostle in the record.

No house has filed a sentence for this yet.

Live Historic number 61. Yours can differ.

The glance

Household and Temperance are the thin ones.

Is a marriage, a parent, or a child a real life here, or just a prop?

This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.

Consider this

The Iron Giant

73 instead of 61

The Iron Giant is still a drama film, and it scores 73 instead of 61. What you gain is courage: He stays up so the town can live.

The eight

7
Industry
He builds a church out of a wreck with his hands and other people's.
3
Household
He has broken a marriage and worse. The new town is not a clean house.
8
Piety
The preaching is real, specific, and not a joke. So is the sin.
6
Courage
He is brave in the pulpit and a coward in the confession.
6
Republic
A bayou town and a mixed congregation, with the law on its way.
4
Temperance
Rage and appetite are in him. The film does not baptize them.
9
Truth
It refuses the clean conversion. Holiness and violence are in the same man.
6
Stewardship
He hands the town a real revival and a scandal waiting at the door.

Batman Begins

61Watch it awake.

Fear, a city, a training. The serious costume film, before the carnival. Worth an evening.

Pass it on

The review

Before the later films made a villain the attraction, this one was about a rich boy who is afraid and a city whose institutions have been bought. The teacher in the mountains offers a clean justice that would kill the city to save it. The refusal of that teacher is the moral event. A butler and a cop are the ordinary courage beside the costume.

Adults and older teens. It is a better evening than the spectacle that came after it in the genre. Ask what kind of fear is a tool and what kind is a teacher you should leave on the mountain.
