Who is that actor playing the old Black evangelist? He seems familiar to me from somewhere, but I just can't place him.
I spent some time w/ the Assemblies of God people. I mean no disparagement to those people to say that Jesus would not allow me to continue my journey in w/ them. He showed me other things & I was bound in duty & faith to follow Him where He lead. Still, I learned many good things in my time w/ them.
Pentacostalism is the quintessence of American culture. It is the future of Protestantism. Most of the other earlier forms of the Protestant religion are already passing away. In this century, I think we will watch the Christian world be reduced to a contest between some form of Pentacostalism (whether it calls itself Charismatic or something else) & Catholicism.
Not my "favorite of all time" but certainly one of the best films I have ever seen to deal with Christian faith. I agree with a critic's (highly praiseworthy) review of the film who described it as a "vindication of belief without being a vindication of every believer."
Duvall shows the character of the down home genuine believers from the small towns and backwoods of Americas heartland. People who, although far from perfect, have cultivated a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, human Son of the Creator of this very universe!
This may be one the greatest movies ever made. I'm not even a Christian and I love this movie and Mr Duvall. Great stuff. Praise god toaday, get behind me Satan you stay there.
One of my top 5 movies! Duvall is a master at telling a story.
