Gott ist nicht tot 4 - Wir sind das Volk

Thegarbagecan-65646, the God haters are not out in full force. People are seeing this movie series for the trash it is. Many Christians are finally realizing how badly written and poorly acted the majority of Pureflix content is. This one is no different from the rest. The acting is very bad, as is the editing. There are too many unnecessary up-close shots. Very little research was done on homeschooling. Social workers do not get involved with homeschooling families unless there is suspicion of abuse. Most states have few regulations with homeschooling with several having none at all. The lack of oversight has led to abuse going unchecked. The Duggars and Turpins are perfect examples of this. This movie wants people to think that any kind of oversight is tyranny. What about the non-Christian and nonreligious families homeschooling their kids? Why are they getting a free pass if they are violating homeschooling regulations? It is obvious this movie is a persecution fantasy. It paints Christians as perfect angels and non-Christians as devils like the first two do. There are a number of unrealistic scenes. The scene where Pastor Dave starts yelling in the court would get anyone held in contempt and risk imprisonment. It's like he got a free pass because he was Christian. The God's Not Dead film series is not massively successful, except in your mind. It has barely made ninety million dollars at the box office. Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie made slightly more at the box office than the first one did. It has much better acting, writing, and characterization. It is full of fun and adventure. Those two things are what audiences want, not boring sermons of which these movies are.

Basically the Christan fast and furious movies tbt Story is ok, acting kills it.

Could have been good.

As somebody who works in Christan radio and has no choice but to see these.. man it felt like pure rhetoric. Honestly I compare a lot of Christian movies to the movies Hitler was putting out in the peak of his rule.

Sad. I know, too far? Well please go on YouTube and find the dubs of those movies and decide for yourself.

TL:DR: If you want a movie that is easy to forget, you will like it. If you want a movie that respectfully and philosophically discusses Christianity, religion in general and provides any intelligent and thoughtful perspectives, move on. Go and watch "Life of Pi", this is a movie that feels very respectful, interesting, critical and eye opening towards believe.

I really do not hate this movie. It is as mediocre as you can imagine it. It is not bad if any aspect is analyzed on its own.

The problem is the story and the plot. There is so much unnecessary filler, that it is hard to pay attention to those aspects. I also think that some scenes where only used to provoke an emotion that has nothing to do with the movie? Very weird.

There was also very little logic to anything that was going on. Some argumentations they used for anything were straight up from... Jupiter? Very little contact to reality.

I do believe that nothing was used respectful, was research or came from a philosophical perspective. No depth, just surface level... presentation? Discussion? I do not even know what this movie was trying to go for.

I would be VERY surprised if any Christian, Atheist, Liberal of whatever people use to put them in to some kind of groups, do actually have any feelings 1 hour after watching this movie. It is that forgettable.

What is mind boggling is that someone used the phrase unironically to praise this movie. The first film in this series was actually okay and a bit above average for a christian film. Yes, it had plenty of straw men and other problems but by xtian film standards it wasn't bad. Each subsequent film in this franchise has been worse than the previous one. This film has many, many, flaws. It wallows in its persecution fantasy. But the worst sin it makes is actually making the case that xtian home schooling deserves more scrutiny and regulation. The exact opposite of the point it intended to make. To really appreciate how awful this film is you need to listen to the review by the "God Awful Movies" podcast team.

The genre of this movie can be most accurately described as somewhere between dystopian and propaganda. The persecution complex is on full display, as is par for the course for the series. Essentially, this film is a scheme to generate as much money as possible by slapping the name of a franchise on a nearly unrelated film (which is hilarious, because do the filmmakers seriously think that this movie is gonna make any money?) This movie is just barely, and I mean only the slightest bit about Christianity. On the whole, the franchise should've just stopped with one movie.
