This is but a hand full of movies I can recommend. I'm disappointedthat the film didn't name Fɾҽҽmαsσɳɾყ as the driving force to the establishment of the anticlerical/church laws.

I think most of the people who go see it will be trying to get over the fact that they never heard of the Cristiadad

Quote from: Raoul76

If it comes out of Jєωιѕн Hollywood, there is some trick involved. I know people always think that this time, "we" really have a film of our own, but there is always a trick.

I haven't seen it and won't see it, but it probably pushes religious liberty and American concepts. Also, most people who see it will be Novus Ordo-ites who are probably heretics. They will come out feeling righteous. If they are martyred, they will be like Protestant "martyrs," many of them.

See, the devil doesn't care if you say you are a Christian, so long as you really aren't. He isn't afraid of giving the Church a little publicity, once it's no longer a threat to him and people have remade it in their own image. In the same way, he released the Latin Mass in VII -- once he had wiped out the priesthood.

To me, it is depressing to see a film celebrating a Catholic revolution when there are about 20 people left alive who even know what real Catholicism is. To me this film is just part of the vast conspiracy of silence. It will make Novus Ordo-ites feel all safe and warm, being happy that the evil commies haven't taken THEIR church ( oh, but they have ). But that's just me.

As important as the Cristero revolution is, it is totally insignificant compared to what's happening now which is the spiritual blindness of billions; but about that, the media is silent.

Sorry if this is too dismal for people to stomach. I assure you, when the Great Monarch comes and the power of the devil is wiped out, I will be a lot happier. But I'm not happy with meaningless scraps that have no purpose except to make me pat myself on the back and feel righteous. I guess it's a glass half-full, glass half-empty thing.

Go watch the movie, and THEN you can come back here and BS.

Raoul76, I have not seen this movie, but I know a hardcore, deontological Sede who loves the movie. The appeal is not only to Bogus Ordites, in fact, I have only heard of traditional Catholics talk about it. Granted, I do not converse with Conciliarists much, nor do I frequent their sites often.

Raoul76, this movie doesn't come out of Jєωιѕн Hollywood or any other part of Hollywood. I'd love to have you see this & THEN give us your opinion. I saw it yesterday & it's one good movie with great acting. You owe it to yourself to see it. I'd say it's more for trads than NO's as it's a real Catholic movie. Honest.

I have several Trad friends who have seen it and they're all excited about
the fact that a really Catholic movie can be in the theaters. One couple said
that the theater they went to was entirely empty, except for them. It was
like having a private screening.

Sounds like a tragedy from a profits standpoint, but maybe the word gets out slowly?

Better promotional work could have helped?
