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. Inadvertently, Laurie meets Lonnie Frisbee (Jonathan Roumie), a charismatic hippie-street-preacher, and Pastor Chuck Smith (Kelsey Grammer), who have thrown open the doors of Smith's languishing church to a stream of wandering youth. threat and horror A young man becomes scared when his coach driver is high on drugs and drives in a reckless manner before crashing. This tension, as the church begins to transform and the movement takes off, is where the richest drama lies. It tracks the true story of the Jesus movement in late 1960s America, from the perspective of curious student Greg Laurie (Joel Courtney) and pastor Chuck Smith (Kelsey Grammar).

Fellow street pastor and evangelist Lonnie Frisbee is played by Jonathan Roumie, who plays Jesus Christ in The Chosen. 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. That’s when we see the barriers of polite Christianity exemplified by Smith slowly being broken down by the chaotic, surprising grace shown in Frisbee.

When she brings home the charismatic – in both senses of the word – Frisbee, Smith and the chapel are both transformed. alcohol and tobacco There are scenes in which adults consume alcohol, and which include scenes in which a drunk woman becomes distressed. 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. Together with Pastor Chuck Smith, they open the doors of Smith’s languishing church to an unexpected revival of radical and newfound love, leading to what TIME Magazine dubbed a JESUS REVOLUTION.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. It still lacks the weight of ideas and the craftsmanship of the best mainstream cinema – films like this won’t be playing at Cannes any time soon – but it’s a satisfying story told well, with some genuine insight into the Church then and now. Every once in a while, a good film targeted at Christians comes along in the US and, each time, the industry is shocked that there is an audience for quality, Christian storytelling.
