The Case for Christ

The Case for Christ

63Watch it awake.

The work of looking. Better than the speeches around it. Keep the method, not the glow.

Pass it on

The review

The frame is a conversion story, so you know the last page. The useful middle is a man doing the unfashionable thing: reading the sources, asking people who know the sources, and refusing to let his marriage be the only evidence. Some of the encounters are tidier than a real investigation. The posture is still the right posture for a thing this large.

Adults and older teenagers. Do not watch it as a proof you can hand someone and win. Watch it as a picture of a husband who took his wife's mind seriously enough to check. Then, if you do not believe it, say why from the documents and not from a mood. If you do, say why the same way.

Does anyone owe a neighbor, a law, or a town — or is every person out for themselves?

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

Consider this

Sight

73 instead of 63

Sight is still a drama film, and it scores 73 instead of 63. What you gain is stewardship: What he hands strangers is sight.

The eight

  1. 7
    Industry

    Reporting is a craft. He interviews, checks, and hates the direction of his notes.

  2. 6
    Household

    A marriage under a new faith. He is unkind, and the film lets the unkindness sit.

  3. 7
    Piety

    The question is the resurrection, investigated rather than assumed.

  4. 6
    Courage

    He risks the identity of being the skeptic in the room.

  5. 4
    Republic

    A newsroom. The public stake is whether a fact about Jesus can be looked up.

  6. 7
    Temperance

    Pride is the appetite. The drinking is not the main one.

  7. 7
    Truth

    He wanted a result and did not get it. The film is honest about the wanting.

  8. 6
    Stewardship

    What he hands his house is a father who followed a question instead of freezing it.

A Bridge Too Far

A Bridge Too Far

63Watch it awake.

Worth the evening for the cost of a vanity operation. It is a day of duty, and then it is a defeat.

Pass it on

The review

Richard Attenborough's film is three hours because the operation was a chain, and a chain is the only way to see where it breaks. Paratroopers are dropped to take bridges in the Netherlands. The last bridge, Arnhem, is the one the armor does not reach in time. Radios fail. A road is a single road. Men hold a position because the plan says the armor is coming, and the plan is wrong.

Older teens and adults. You do not need to love a general to learn from this. Ask, at the end, which warning was already in the room before the first aircraft took off. A house that only watches victories will think courage is a guarantee. This film is the correction.

Consider this

Gettysburg

74 instead of 63

Gettysburg is still a war film, and it scores 74 instead of 63. What you gain is republic: The argument of the war is in the mouths of the officers, and it is not treated as embarrassment.

The eight

  1. 7
    Industry

    Staff work, drops, radios, and a bridge. The labor is the subject.

  2. 4
    Household

    Dutch families are in the street the army is using. They are not the plot, and the film at least sees them.

  3. 4
    Piety

    A chaplain, a prayer, a burial. Faith is present and not in charge.

  4. 8
    Courage

    Holding a bridge you were not reinforced for is the courage, and it is not rewarded.

  5. 6
    Republic

    Allied generals want a stroke that ends the war by autumn. The film is the bill for the want.

  6. 6
    Temperance

    The star cast is a temptation to watch faces. The operation is still the point.

  7. 8
    Truth

    It is a famous defeat, and the film does not restage it as a moral victory.

  8. 7
    Stewardship

    What it hands on is the price of a plan that could not hear the intelligence it disliked.

Name one time a plan in your own work ignored the person who said it would not hold.

For this house

Keep going

The next title is the one nearest what this house keeps, then the measure where it is thin. Nothing here is a crowd. It does not leave this device.
