@@HylianFox3 Actually,only Billy;Danny and Stephen are the only Baldwin Brothers in these movies. Alec has the good sense to stay out of these movies!! Of course,when you get right down to it,all four of the Herman's Baldwin.are ginormous douches!!! Alec is an annoying liberal douche while Stephen's an annoying conservative douche!! While Billy and Danny are merely minor league douches!!
OK,if this movie is comparing the quote-on-quote, plight of Christians in America to the shit people like my grandpa had to go through on Iwo Jima, then we are gonna have problems.
It's Christians. What else do you expect from a group of people whose whole religion is centered around martyrdom? That being said... "quote-on-quote" First of all, it's "quote-unquote". Secondly, you only _say_ that phrase, not write it. When written, you use actual quotation marks. Unless you're quoting someone, or writing dialogue in a story, that is. It's verbal shorthand, so the person you're talking to knows that what your saying isn't something you believe as well.
@@whiterabbit75 This is false based on literally every school of linguistic thought "Quote-unquote" in writing is emphasis, and that's very obvious. Stop acting like you know more than you do
Speaking of the Frere's Baldwin,they're basically dooshes!! Alec and Stephen are the biggest dooshes this side of a Feminine Needs aisle of a CVS or Walgreens while Billy and Danny are more like dooshes at a rundown convenience store run by Indians!!!
Naww...because here in 'Murica, the Media is so bad that they shame people left and right and claim to be heroes yet will devote time to make a massive editorial hit piece crying persecution if someone trolls them on the internet!
It christians can't force feed their religion to everyone at chools and everywhere = PERECUTION!!1 (and it's not only in "murica". It's same thing everywhere they have infested).
If this movie wanted to be realistic the villains' plan wouldn't be to frame him for the rape and murder of a girl. They would have just released actual pictures of the minister with his secret seventeen years old boyfriend.
If the movie wanted to be realistic, the senators bill would have caused a bunch of people complaining online, and no one would have cares what some preacher had to say.
I don't think anyone expects realism from these types of movies. I mean they're basically just wanking material for the right wing. "Ooohh... yeaaaah.... lay that sweet conspiracy theory on me, baby! .... Aaaaahhhhhhh, Goooood!" Just like there is torture porn (like Saw and Hostel), this can be classified as faith porn.
@@jeckjeck3119 Both are a derivative of Protestantism and are so similar that at this point even myself, a huge Nerd, don't care to differentiate them...
There's one main difference between the two. Slash Movies exist to entertain, evangelical porn exist to further a narrative that could be detrimental to the United States and the Separation of Church and State.
Emmett Leone-Woods Oh, Christploitation still exists for the purpose of entertaining a certain group of people. It's only that slasher movies are made for the general public (not actual serial killers,) and Christploitation is made for people who live in an echochamber.
@@Logan912 I'm not sure "echo chamber" is the best word for it as they are supposed to not listen to anything but the voices inside their own head... Dullingchamber? Soundless Space? But yeah, they exist in the treatment part of an indoctrination machine and call everybody else "brainwashed"...
All what I hear in movies like this is "WAAAAHHHHHH WE CAN'T FORCE EVERYONE TO PRACTICE OUR VERSION OF CHRISTIANITY AND OTHER PEOPLE ARE ALLOWED NOT BE CHRISTIAN, WE ARE SOOO PERSECUTED WAAAAAAHHHHHH!" These are also the people that think they have the right to harass people who practice religions that aren't theirs.
It's the sincere insanity of them. We can point and laugh, but we can't help but be reminded that real people really believe the things these films are saying.
At least the grindhouse flicks are just "Ya wanna see a lot of violence and gore? Here's a lot of violence and gore." Evangelical Propaganda films are all two drinks away from outright saying, "It'll be socially acceptable to murder every Christian in the streets if you don't fight tooth and nail to make Murica into the glorious Christian Theocratic Dictatorship whitebread Jeebus wants it to be."
_Cannibal Ferox_ doesn't make me say "Fuck you" to my screen nearly as much, either. As far as I know, _If Footmen Tire You_ was all but forgotten up until recently while it seems that the bloodless _God's Not Dead_ and the like are only (and rightly) blasted by irreligious folks yet those movies slip under the radar. Still, I'm fine with being a godless Yank after all.
And Grindhouse isn’t real. These people are. Plus the agenda looming over it. Like this isn’t a film that’s just about a fictional man who’s getting chased by the government, the people behind this want you to believe in this by the end of the film. It’s like an indoctrination.
Yeah, it did occur to me it might be one of those "persecuted christians" movie, but with the capitol building on fire, I did think it might also be a Neil Breen movie I hadn't heard about.
My biggest issue with these christian movies, is that they ignore the fact that there are many christian liberals. As well as many others on the political spectrum, there are gay, and atheist republicans too, and so many other different variations of people.
One of the things I can’t fathom about this movie is that they think that only 2 ppl would be against this bill where Republicans, Conservatives, I'm even certain some of the religious ppl, especially with this bill allowing anyone not of their religion, to preach their truth in the their place of worship freely. Oh, and for some reason, CBN, Fox News, and the Alliance Defense of Religious Freedom don't exist here, either 🙄
Both sides try so hard to put Christian each other. I prefer Christian communists than any “Christian” representing two parties that would’ve stoned Christ and did more harm to him than the Roman’s
At least this might not get taken like the D'Snooza flick. If that happened, then it shall be an example of the persecution of the rights of Cinema Snobs everywhere.
I got it: a suspense thriller Fugitive rip-off about The Cinema Snob being chased by all the movie makers & actors from the movies he has made fun of over the years!
The premise of this movie gives me the impression that someone involved in either the writing and/or production of this film may actually be a clergyman that has some scandalous compromat and a body stashed somewhere, about to be exposed by a blackmailer, and that this film is his attempt to get his loyal followers mentally ready for when that particular shoe falls.
*Gas station; Int.* John Luther: *messes with soda machine.* Ugh! Pastor Dave: (off-screen) Oh great! I've spilled coffee on my pastor collar! *Cuts over to Dave and then back to Luther.* Luther: Jesus, bro!
Dreemurr And the company read your comment and created a subsidiary of PureFlix called FaithFlix. Shareholders meeting: "We estimate that by creating this subsidiary we'll blow the mind of this Dreemurr user on youtube".
So, I ran into money problems a while back, for well over a year I was living on $20 a month for food. One day I over heard a room-mate complaining to another that he was gonna have to stop getting McDonalds every day for lunch and dinner cause it was starting to cut into is funds, he was being 100% serious and sounded so sorry for himself, I wanted to slug him in the stomach. What does that have to do with this movie? Well I'm Jewish, and whenever I hear the poor beleaguered Christians complain about religious persecution in the US I get the exact same urge as I did with my room-mate. My grandparents came to this country to escape being cooked, I lost a Muslim friend to a white supremacist shooter. Yeah, Christians, I totally want to hear a far fetched movie about how the government is out to get you for being Christian, or how tough you have it having to hear people say "Happy Holidays" you're so persecuted... At least they aren't making *many* movies about how the non-Christians are out to get them and glorifying violence against us anymore. But these sorts of movies fill me with concentrated disgust. You are far too nice to it Brad.
This is gauche. Why are you holding such a grudge against a dumb 19yo from decades past? Don't you know that bitterness is like taking poison and hoping the other person dies. Focus your disgust on the those with all the power.
@@fkrkf Those without shame best have the piss taken out of them, that’s why. And these sort of propaganda pieces empower the self-righteous tone-deft jerks of the world. But hey if you have a practical itinerary for destroying this mindset at the source I am all for it.
With a title like "Persecuted" you know it's got all of the home styled baked goodness for the Cinema Snob to mock. They may as well have titled it "Please mock us, Brad."
Because the Christians outside of America who are actually being persecuted are too busy trying to stay safe that they can't make these films. It's only Christians in America with incredibly minor problems who make whiny movies.
Yeah, it is weird. Growing up, I constantly heard from missionaries about real Christian persecution, not this crap. And some of the stories could make great movies.
Mortal Kombat Annihilation being your go to James Remar movie is like Paint Your Wagon being your go to Lee Marvin movie. 48 Hours, The Warriors, Drugstore Cowboy, hell White Fang.
16:15 - ...I don't know why but I had a major bit of giddy glee when he referenced Prototype of all things. Glad to see some people who still remember that game!
Yay, I always wanted a movie where Zuko frames Tonraq in a bid to conquer the water tribe... y’know, seventy years after he got over that whole “evil” shit.
For anyone that didn't grow up stomping around in the forests of the eastern US: "Sumac" is a plant that comes in a 'poison' variety. As in poison ivy, poison oak, and poison sumac. It looks like those leaves on the logo. You think they were trying to imply something?
Ohhhhhh boy, a movie about a televangelist framed for murder by the "true" evil ones. This one ought to be a hoot. (I can't stand the persecution/victim complex some Christians really seem to be hung up on ... AND I am a believer in Jesus Christ, myself. I'm calling out my own folks, here. Actually had to deal with other fellow Christians thinking I was being mean to them myself last night on some forums when I got angry at an instance where the doctrine of eternal torment in hell was clearly ruining someone's life with mental and emotional anguish and instability ... and several others got offended that I am against their traditional hell doctrine and acted like I was bashing them. Oh, poor you, hell-lovers. You stand for ENDLESS TORTURE of your enemies and yet if someone calls it out you are the bullied victims "just trying to stand for truth".) *end of rant* Sorry ....
I love the guy on the Renegade Cut channel saying that to the privileged majority, equality seems like persecution. That was spot-on. Keep it up Cinema Snob!
@17:00 you know what's a much better boardroom scene? The scene from Dogma. That whole movie was 100x better written and more insightful than this movie could even dream to be.
normally disputes give you 90 days to answer back ( in the event of a DMCA takedown ) or 2 weeks to respond to a copyright claim, or to get an appeal from youtube to restore it - it depends why it was removed in the first place, but the earliest it would be back could be as much as 3 months.
I’m pretty sure Marshall Teague (Last Ounce of Courage) and Rusty Joiner (Voiceless) also did it for the paycheck considering both their efforts and filmography.
Yes, because not having preferential treatment by the government is persecution. Respect for, and equal treatment of, different religious & non-religious beliefs is necessary in a democratic society. But they don't want a democratic society; they want a theocracy.
No. It's from loser names Daniel, whom according to IMDB, previously directed a movie called Jesus Boat Revealed. His most recent work is the animated children's film called The Adventures of Bunny Bravo.
I just recently got into this channel. The rate at which you make content and the consistency in your sense of humor is really impressive! I haven't subscribed to a channel this quickly since RedLetterMedia!
It wasn't as bad as the first two. Which in turn means it wasn't as watchable as the first two, or as funny as the first two. I don't think it had any 90s TV stars.
So did this movie start out as a legit political thriller? I mean it has almost none of the familiar elements we are used to in these persecution movies (a small town setting, outdated attempts to be hip, scripture quotes being the end all solution, an obvious victory over the OVERLY cartoonish villain with a Take That! Speech). In fact, most references to religion seemed like last minute additions.
I remember that one. That one was a knock off, too; Left Behind (The book series) had just come out and was riding high on best seller lists. That whole thing was messed up, too. It's just an ouroboros of messed up for American Christians. And according to a well travelled priest, only in America.
