Highlight from Episode: • America & Weaponizing ... Why is the whale actually an awful movie? Did you guys even go to see it? Im surprised James even watched it
Also the protagonist is an English teacher right? If so he has to be The laziest teacher that I’ve ever seen. When he talks to that evangelist in the movie he says that he “read the Bible”. Dude no you didn’t. He leaves out a lot of details and he gets so much wrong when he describes the Bible. For example: he says that only 144,000 gets saved but that verse is talking about the tribes of Israel that will preach during the end times. 12,000 evangelists from each tribe(more than 144,000 will get saved). So the character and The writer from this movie are lazy and a foolish. Lol 😂. Listen I love Brendan Fraser but the Whale is a garbage movie.
Don't you just love it when people do that? They only talk about a small part of the Bible to try to make it look bad and Christianity and God being a cancer, all the while they're purposely throwing away the big picture.
@@is17a985 the Christian’s in the movie are very much a cult. Welcome to a new lesson: you can criticise certain parts of a community without criticising the entirety of the community
As a Catholic (providing this info for the sake of making my personal positions clear), this movie is one of the greatest and most beautiful cinematic expressions of the saving power of truth/honesty that I've ever seen. As an educated coastal Jew, Aronofsky definitely carries a general (though misled) anti-Christian sentiment, BUT if you properly understand Thomas' character as an archetype of the scrupulous, theologically void evangelical form of Christianity present throughout much of the Anglosphere, he's actually incredibly well-written. To watch the movie (an absolute masterpiece) and walk away having interpreted an anti-Christian attitude as one of the film's main themes is an incredibly shallow read. The entire movie revolves around what happens to us when we allow ourselves to indulge in our selfishness and depravity, what happens when nobody else holds us to account, and what happens when our sins are finally thrust out into the open and purified by the light of day. The TRUTH will set you free. Again, as a Catholic, I believe that God IS the Truth. I can't even be sure that Aronofsky was aware of the implicit theology behind the film he made, but it's obvious to anyone who has the time or capacity to interpret it. Some might find the movie stylistically "pretentious" (I'd disagree, though I accept that tastes differ), but that doesn't take away from what the movie actually meant and succeeded to do.
I appreciate your in depth view thank you for that. I’ll see if I can muster up another round of the whale and put your lens to it. Might change my mind I’ll check back
I watched the whale a while back (or tried to, I stopped at some point and skipped through it) and right away I came to the conclusion that the movie was anti-christian. I kinda felt it was offensive. Here are a few notes that stuck out to me about this movie: 1. The lead brendan frasier went from playing heroic characters like he did in the mummy, to now playing a feeble, morbidly obese, failure, degenerate of a man whose daughter disrespects and hates him. (And so does his ex wife) 2. It’s been a while since I watched the movie, but the way that brendans character mistreats the christian missionary is messed up, but also that if I recall correctly he is m*astwrbating when the missionary knocks at the door. Then, brendan gets the missionary to read him a passage of moby dick (or a poem about a whale or something) while he heaves and tries to catch his breath. Then the ex wife comes in and is nasty towards the missionary for no damn reason. And then brendans character still holds some poem about a whale higher than he does the bible. He even gets someone (I think his daighter) to read the whale poem during his final moments while his heart explodes from walking a few feet. As if moby dick is something that means so much. And as if that kind of death is a glorious way to go or something. 3. I’m convinced of movies ability to influence people very strongly. I know people very close to me whose personality is still affected by comedy and feel good movies of the 90s and 2000s. I met a cab driver once who said his favourite movie ever was rambo from the time he saw it as a kid, and showed me the combat boots that he wears everyday because of that movie. Point is, movies have a influence over people. Monkey see, monkey do type stuff. And whoever made this movie was attempting to affect the psyche of the viewer in some negative way. Whoever funded it has a evil agenda imo. Because theyre smart people, they know what they’re doing even if they won’t admit to it. And they tricked the people who buy into slogans like “oscar worthy performance” to watch a fat degenerate m*sterbwte on the big screen and just overall be a pos. And showing a highly dysfunctional family and the ending is the fat father dies while his daughter watches. Wow. And these people that were tricked applauded it. Anyways, this to me is an evil film, funded by an evil establishment in hollywood. I don’t see any reason why they had to attack christianity so much. Also, the tint of the movie is dark and gross.
This video is anti christian by ya'll making fun of other people. Also thanks for the movie spoilers. What a great first impression of the clown show. GET A GRIP ON THINGS
Christians do think they are better than those, "Who arent saved". Oh, part of Gods grace is to love thy neighbor. So much for being saved😅 People need to.watch NDE videos and see what people are seeing and being told on the other side. Its more powerful than the bible! Hands down.
And maybe you need to study some of the latest discoveries in the science of the Shroud of Turin. Then, you can take that information and combine it with the excellent NDE sources available to us, add some creative problem solving and see if you can reconcile the two. It's not very hard to do, especially for someone like yourself who seems genuinely curious about these things. But I fear that your message seems to be all over the place. First you unfairly lump all Christians together as unsavory people who think they're better than others (is that an attitude which, when you ultimately face the Light, you think you will come to celebrate or regret?). Then you quote Jesus, but at the end you "hands down" discount scripture in favor of NDE accounts. I don't suppose you've ever wondered whether all these things (and more) could be pieces of a much larger and more glorious puzzle than any of us can imagine? I've learned that every belief system and worldview has its closed-minded individuals who are much more interested in hurling their beliefs than they are in discovering truth. You *almost* strike me as the latter, but sadly it doesn't appear at a glance that you've learned all you could from your NDE studies.

Criticising cults isn’t anti Christian. Or are you implying Christianity is a cult?
Not a cult.

Great comment… ❤️
I agree with what you said. They solely attack Christianity because the world hates Jesus. Even Christ told us that.
Yea Darren lost his mind a while ago
