Movie Reviews

Cinema em Cena - 6/10 by Pablo VillaçaEmbora exiba um amadorismo ocasional em seus aspectos técnicos (especialmente em seus gráficos e na narração) e seja curto demais, o filme defende sua tese de maneira interessante e articulada.
Filmcritic.com - 6/10 by Keith BreeseYou can argue all these "facts" until you're blue in the face but there is one truth about religion that Flemming seems to overlook: the facts don't matter
User Review - 10/10 by Pete MOne of the greatest docs of all time, I'd encourage Christian friends to watch it, but let's be honest, they wouldn't :l
User Review - 10/10 by Nick ESaw this before it got too Netflixs very good
User Review - 10/10 by Nathan BThis was an awesome documentary!!! It raises some very interesting questions about the reliability of the gospels and is very thought-provoking!
User Review - 10/10 by Duane tThis is a great documentary of director Brian Flemming's search for the historocity of Jesus Christ. It brings up most of the main academic arguments in its brief running time of 62 minutes. There is much more to discuss on the topic but a film would have to be so long no one could sit thrugh it in one go. The God Who Wasnt There is a great introduction for those who are sitting on the spiritual fence, those interested in how history in perceived, and any Christian. For those who are already enlightened on the subject it is refreshing to see such an entertaining and public film on the subject. Gauranteed to make you think. Plus the soundtrack is great.
User Review - 10/10 by Jay EWhat startling revelations this documentary brings to the viewer. I'm definitely enlightened. Director Brian Flemming has given us a lot of information regarding the fallacies, myths and just plain misconceptions about Christianity. It's done with a gentle prod (well, in most cases anyway) and humor. We are given a 6 minute version of the life of Jesus Christ using old film clips which, with a countdown clock, not only illustrates the advancement of filmmaking, it brings a smile to your face. The audience is given the treat of several fine interviews with scholars including Sam Harris who wrote The End of Faith. Each person speaks plainly and intelligently about the subject matter. Each presents opinions that make a great deal of sense - common sense. All give the viewer plenty to think about and to ultimately come to the same conclusions. There is an interview with a gentleman who is convinced that the rapture is going to happen during his lifetime. He has set up a website where people can write e-mails to their un-saved loved ones telling them that the rapture has occurred and that they're now in heaven. If they're all in heaven, who is going to press the Send Button on the e-mails? Or what happens when this gentleman's hard drive crashes? We're shown that the story of Jesus Christ is similar and sometimes identical to gods in mythology. What made this story a keeper, you wonder? The gloves come off when Mr. Flemming shows us the graphic and gratuitous violence in The Passion of the Christ. Using clips from Mel Gibson's movie, we see what many Christians believe is a movie that changed their lives. Scenes such as a crow pecking out the eye of a man being crucified (with close-ups to boot!) and Mary almost wallowing in Jesus' blood makes you wonder what the real purpose of this movie was. This documentary points out how excessive all the special effects were. So how can this be the truth the Christians claim it is? Mr. Flemming also gives us insight into his personal hell when attending a private Christian school. He was constantly bombarded with threats of eternal Hell for things that every kid does. This school controls kids through fear and that's no way for anyone to live, much less drilling frightening damnation into the minds of children. Christian and non-Christian alike - you can't watch this documentary without giving thought to what has been presented. Plus, you'll have some chuckles along the way. It's a great mixture of intelligence, commonn sense and humor. I cannot recommend it too highly.
User Review - 10/10 by Faris JThis is a really good movie. Flemming does to Christianity what Michael Moore did to the government in Farenheit 9/11 by asking provocative and investigative questions that confront and challenge the "facts" about the existence of Jesus Christ or God itself. And as with the documentary by Michael Moore, Flemmings documentary will continue to and already has gained a cult-like following. Atheists/Agnostics/Scientologists and open-minded educated people alike will be able to look beyond what is commonly and blindly accepted by most Christians and others, as well get a better idea on whether this part of history was a) recorded accurately or b) manipulated and abused by those in power to retain and gain more power.
User Review - 10/10 by AmieI think it's an excellent point a view that few religious people want to explore. The effects of fear instilled into young children by parents and religious leaders. Yet this is still socially acceptable and even encouraged.
User Review - 10/10 by Timothy OI would have done this differently, but it is an excellent indictment of religious fantasy.
