Jesus Revolution [Blu-ray]

Product Information

Jesus Revolution tells the story of the Jesus Movement of the 1960s and 70s that saw tens of thousands of hippies trade hallucinogenics for hallelujahs as they encountered the gospel for the first time. Premier’s mission is to provide the Church with the most up to date and relevant news, told from a Christian perspective. This film, coming in June, tells some of the story of Chuck Smith, the founder of the Calvary Chapel movement, out of which the Vineyard was birthed! In America, Jesus Revolution doubled box office estimates - let’s show UK and Irish cinemas that the church is up for the challenge! Funnily enough, none of that is in Jesus Revolution, although that story would make for a fascinating film itself.

This corny but slickly made southern California-set drama looks plausibly like a million other period-set Bildungsromans made by the Hollywood entertainment sausage factory.Many countries around the world will this year be facing important elections: the UK, US, India and South Africa are just some of the more than 40 nations going to the polls.

theme Scenes of emotional upset include one in which a mother tells her young son that his estranged father won't be coming back. Some are quick to judge these unwashed converts with their histories of drug use and free love, while others see an outworking of the grace of God. Smith’s embrace of Frisbee’s preaching style, which includes a rock band wailing about Jesus and hordes of new converts that repulse the old Christian squares at Smith’s church, is played as divine inspiration, not as the clever co-opting of youthful style by an establishment clergy at a time when the old ecclesiastical manner was very out of fashion. This film really highlights that God will forgive anyone who come to Christ, no matter who they are or what they have done, and can use anyone to help spread His word.But even if they do look alike, Frisbee is a very different role (keep an eye out also for a funny cameo from Paras Patel, who plays Matthew in the same series ).
