Come Sunday

Its sad they put stuff out like this. It's not entertaining it's a seed for confusion. I pray against the influence of this movie both on believers and unbelievers that have lack of understanding when it comes to the truth of the gospel and having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. The Bible is right and all that hasn't accepted the gift of redemption to establish righteous relationship with the holy, true and living God, through Jesus Christ who came, died, and rose again with victory over death, hell, and sin.

If you're a devout Christian looking for a Good Scripturally accurate Movie, I recommend that you do not watch this. Wasted an Hour of my time.

Come Sunday, to me, is an amazing film. It is a look inside the belief system of fundamentalist Christians. This is not the belief system to which I have ever belonged. So watching Carlton Pearson's transformation and how he was ostracized for his revelations, moved me greatly and kept me riveted. They assembled some truly great actors for this film, from Chiwetel Ejiofor, to Martin Sheen. Based on a true story. It was apparently difficult to have this film made due to the subject matter and fears of protest. I'm personally very glad they were able to get it done. Not to put down those who sought to punish Rev. Pearson for abandoning their tribe, but because it was so uplifting how he found his true path and offered hope for others. I look for transformation in characters as I watch serious films. This film and it's actors transformed as few films do. I highly recommend this.

Only a person that is born in a country (Italy) where, at the time, you had no choice or saying in what to believe, can fully understand this movie. Unfortunately the screenplay is a mess, and the director is not doing justice to an oscar worthy performance by Chiwetel Ejiofor, (this men is on another level), Lakeith Stanfield and Danny Glover. STILL, they are able to absorb you into the Via Crucix of not only pastor Pearson, but of those who clinged to his words in hope of salvation and are suddenly casted into chaos instead. This was a very courageous movie to produce BUT (like I did in Italy to break the chains by showing up to my confimation with short hair, bright green lima pants and matching pullover) sometimes you need to use firerworks to be seen. This movies FAILED to emphatized the magnitude and enormity of an African American pastor standing up against these "corporate", ANCIENT, religious organizations. Best part of the movie are the dialogue about being born gay and not going to hell, and the speech at the end in this new Hope church: because after all those years of Cathechism, the only thing I'm certain about the Bible is that Jesus is LOVE. He even wrote it in his scroll. It's just that fear it's a much easier feeling to handle.
