Jesus Revolution on Instagram: "We have a new date for the UK release of JESUS REVOLUTION—catch the hit film in cinemas on June 23! In strictly formal terms, this is a well-enough-made work, but one that leaves out huge chunks of relevant detail and is essentially propaganda. theme Scenes of emotional upset include one in which a mother tells her young son that his estranged father won't be coming back. The Christian film that surprised everyone by smashing the US box office has finally come to the UK.

Fellow street pastor and evangelist Lonnie Frisbee is played by Jonathan Roumie, who plays Jesus Christ in The Chosen. Frisbee was a man who opened people’s eyes to the radical grace of God while living a secret life and having furtive relationships with men. Jesus Revolution (12A) depicts the true story from the 1970s, when young Greg Laurie ( Joel Courtney) meets up with Lonnie Frisbee ( Jonathan Roumie), a charismatic hippie-street-preacher and Pastor Chuck Smith ( Kelsey Grammer), to open the doors of Smith's languishing church to an unexpected revival. The film will be shown at Cromer's Regal Movieplex on Hans Place at 7pm on Thursday 21st September and is open to anyone aged 12 or over. Instead, the most complexity we get is that he could maybe be a bit arrogant and oblivious, occasionally elevating himself rather than Jesus.

There are several actions that could trigger this block including submitting a certain word or phrase, a SQL command or malformed data. drugs The film contains several verbal drug references, as well as scenes in which people briefly smoke marijuana. However that statement makes you feel, wrestling with this reality would make for a far more interesting film and lead to a richer understanding of how God relates to the people he loves. Together with Chuck Smith, they open the doors of Smith’s church to an unexpected revival of radical and new-found love, leading to what TIME Magazine dubbed a Jesus Revolution.

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. There is absolutely zero mention of the sexual abuse he suffered, or the secret relationships he had with men even while he was evangelising. This is sad, because within the true story of Frisbee and Calvary Chapel lies something more complicated and real than the film is prepared to show. Rock and roll, newfound love, and a twist of faith lead to a Jesus Revolution that turns one counterculture movement into a revival that changes the world.

The hit US film from the Erwin Brothers, reached number three in the US box office and made headlines around the US. Laurie and a sea of young people descend on sunny Southern California to redefine truth through all means of liberation. 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. But it’s been widely hailed as the ‘least cheesy’ Christian film out there, ‘not preachy’ and praised for showing how a Christian life can still be a hard one. Sorted discusses the big issues of the day – focusing on subjects as diverse as culture, sport, cars, health, faith, gadgets, humour and relationships.Audio descriptions (AD) refer to a narration track describing what is happening on screen, to provide context for those who are blind or have low vision. In the end, if you are not a faith-oriented viewer looking to drink the film’s Kool-Aid, you might wish a different, secular film-maker was telling this story, able to examine how the Jesus movement intersected with the communal living of the time, and the rise of Christian cults that would lead to the Jonestown massacre and, in a different direction, the megachurches that now dominate Christianity around Los Angeles.

Jesus Revolution – one of the biggest faith films of 2023 – tells the story of a revival in the early 1970s, in Riverside California. There have been some doubts about the historical accuracy of the film, with The Guardian pointing out that it sidesteps any mention of Lonnie Frisbee’s (Jonathan Roumie) struggles with homosexuality.

Casting Kelsey Grammer is a coup for the film, the erstwhile Frasier capturing both the weariness of a struggling pastor and the joy of seeing new life.

Val has authored/contributed to eight non-fiction books, a ninth will be published by Valley Press in 2023. It is fascinating as a text, but also richly sinister as it attempts to seduce the viewer with a narrative about redemption and love. It will be a good opportunity for the local churches to do something together and to support Christian film at your local cinema.

This film tells the story of revival in California in the 1970s and the key message is that church is for everyone.
