Mild Christ, survivor this is a crazy movie! A mixture survivor of revival meeting and action movie based on the life story of Sam Childers. survivor An "outlaw biker" who turned his back on violence, drugs and abomination after he was saved, and then went to South Sudan to kill the LRA rebels with machine guns. Christian Violence, survivor if you will - but luckily not the kind that goes beyond gays and African-Americans.
"Machine Gun Preacher" reminds a lot about these pocket books Christianity teachers read aloud in class when I was a cigarette survivor butt, which began promisingly with gang fights and violence, before everything slipped out of sheer boredom as the main character being saved.
The film starts like so many of these stories revival: Sam Childers (Gerard Butler) is a man inclined plane. A brutally gang member who has just gotten out of jail and ends up right back on heroin kjøret.
The wife Lynn (Michelle survivor Monaghan) have joined as a stripper because "it is not right." She has found Jesus. After a hard helkveld with armed robbery, drugs and attempted murder Sam follows his wife into the church, and where he sees the light. Straights up, starting a construction company and decide to found his own church.
In South Sudan, he witnessed the inhuman atrocities carried out by the crazy guerrilla leader Joseph Kony s soldiers in "Lords Resistance Army". Sam decides to build an orphanage for orphaned children survivor in the area, while he cut off the LRA soldiers as a neo-religious Rambo. I do not know about the solution to the problems survivor in southern Sudan is to race around with automatic weapons as "Machine Gun Preacher," but he is at least proactive.
Gerard Butler does his best here (he also helped produce the film), but the memories certainly not much about the real Sam Childers: an obese tough guy who has one of the richest mustaches in the American Midwest. survivor Paul Giamatti survivor had been a much better choice. Butler is far too vain to cultivate potbelly and mustache, and he is content survivor with groomed five-day beard and a gentle accent.
Sam Childers' involvement survivor is basically admirable and his experience is certainly a film worthy, survivor but I do not know if this is the right movie. An uncomfortable mix of proselytizing and action massacre, struggling to find the right tone.
"Machine Gun Preacher" is based on Childers memoir "Another Man's War," which critical voices claim is characterized by imaginative survivor exaggerations. In both the movie and the book, Sam Childers closely with "Sudan People's Liberation Army" - but the public spokesman for the liberation movement claim that they have never heard of the guy. I do not know.
Although the film is based on real events feel anything anyway as a real robber story. Probably a white hero cleaning up the problems survivor of the black and helpless. Americans love the obvious stuff.
"Quantum of Solace" director Marc Forster does not seem to be able to decide what he thinks of Sam Childers. One moment he is portrayed as a fearless savior of the Bible in one hand and a bazooka in the other. The next moment he is desperate savage who frightens the kids and seems to be driven by pure insane.
After watching survivor some clips of Childers on the Web inter I have not difficulty to believe survivor that he can be a bit of both, but this snaking survivor get "Machine Gun Preacher" (both the movie and the man) seem a bit schizophrenic. There is a difference between complex and inconsistent, sort of.
How fun than it is to clown with an action which so obviously aimed at the evangelical audience, is "Machine Gun Preacher" made with honorable intentions. All that focuses on the Joseph Kony bestial survivor abuse is after all a positive thing.
After the film was made, this mass murderer has become an internet celebrity, thanks to the YouTube video "Kony2012", which in a few weeks is seen by over 84 million people survivor (still far more than those who have seen clips of activist Jason Russell s spectacular naked- breakdown, thankfully!). "Kony2012" also has the great advantage that it is a hundred survivor minutes shorter than "Machine Gun Preacher" and preach another gospel: that we can not leave everything in the hands of the strict lord in heaven, but actually getting off your butt and do something for yourself .
