What's sounding like an awesome Catholic film, is coming out soon. Watch the trailer here. I cried in the first 15 seconds.

Viva Cristo Rey!

There's no release date?

It looks like the film got supplemental funds for their production from the Mexican government.

And what do you know, it's starring Eva Longoria! :tv-disturbed: Ironic, huh?

Meanwhile, it looks like Mel Gibson just finished shooting a new movie called "How I Spent My Summer Vacation". Loser.

One of the things I worry about is that this film will also contain things that go against the Faith. There will probaly be a nude scene and I am sure that the Lord's Name will be taken in vain at least a few times. This is just my opinion, but anything that comes out of Hollywood is usually tainted, at least a little, with things that go against out Faith. Beware of wolves in sheep clothing.

Speaking of Mel Gibson, I was reminded of Braveheart during that trailer.

The guy on horseback, standing before his army giving a rousing speech on the eve of battle -- about how they will have FREEEDOOMMM!!! or die trying.
Oh yeah, vivaChristorey and all that....mumble mumble....

That's how Hollywood does it -- they throw enough "bones" (props, characters, religious elements, "Viva Christo Rey", etc.) to keep everyone happy, while totally distorting what a struggle was about. They re-cast things in a modern light, with modern world values, etc.

Most struggles end up being re-cast as being about freedom -- you know, Liberty, Fraternity, Equality -- one of those three.

How can it be surprising though. It's a fact that Jєωs run Hollywood, and who INVENTED Fɾҽҽmαsσɳɾყ? The Jєωs.

I'm skeptical. The trailer stinks of Hollywood. And the movie will surely be soaked in wretched sentimentality, in accord with today's Oprahism.

However, I may yet see it simply to watch the excellent Peter O'Toole.

That's actually what first came to my mind when one of the characters mentioned "freedom". If it is who I think it is, then I wouldn't be surprised. Not all of the Cristero leaders were Crusaders. There were some bad apples. The generalisimo Enrique Gorostieta was a 33rd degree Mason before the Cristeros hired him.
