in the flood, you re actually connecting those two things. that is a great point. a very good point about the movie. that is a good point altogether. ralph reid formerly of the coalition freedom, welcome. thank you, sean. i think that mark and roma are really a national treasure, because they have this platform through this success that they have had in their careers in filmmaking and television and so forth. they have done extremely well. they didn t need to do this because of a career reason, they did this because of their love of the lord. and the powerful message that comes through, sean, i ve seen the film. and i urge everybody to go and see it and bring a friend. as you captured earlier. when jesus was on the earth, some people said he was crazy, a lunatic, some said he was a prophet. some said he was just a teacher.
and built on free enterprise. liberals hate when you say this is a judeo-christian country. they don t like to hear that. what about people of other religions? look, i experience this every day. i believe that america was founded on judeo-christian principles. well, for sure, it was. and also traveling for so many months, so many good people who are so vibrant. i felt god is very much alive. jesus is very much alive in this nation. it is almost like we did on the election tour or something, city by city by city, we re going to elect jesus. well, i think certainly if you turn the news on you would think there is nothing but bad news everywhere. there is a lot of it, drugs, poverty, food stamps, people are struggling. i understand, but i still think there needs to be more noise for the good guys. and there are good people doing good things all over this country. all right, when we come back
society against people who were racially biassed. the historian in me likes the fact they captured it on the screen. the whole idea is that the son of god entered into a time and period in the muck and mire, and the different physical bodies to represent god in the world. i m proud of them. that all of humanity just failed. and that he recognized that. and that that was the purpose of his being, and going through the sacrifice is that every, all sin, you see that today. you see it in the movie as well. we re conscious to show the flaws of everybody in the movie. except for the only perfect character is jesus. all had flaws romans and temple authorities. you can identify. young people saying felt what it s like to be with disciples such a scary
you have corruption politicians and ministers and power-hungry people. it seems like it is not very different in spite of maybe the advancement and technology and everything else. a lot of things remain the same. especially in that scene where pilate meets jesus for the first time. there is a whole scene about when pilate asks jesus, what is truth? you know that pilate knew he was innocent. you knew that he knew the truth, but for political expediency, he was basically willing to condemn the man because it suited his political purpose. that still happens today. and you had the scribes, the leaders, they wanted him out of the way because he was a threat to their power. isn t that what is going on today? absolutely, humans haven t changed much today. we added a scene in there to show the ruthlessness of pilate
i can say this was a third jesus moment in my life. because we encounter jesus. and hollywood is not going to make big bucks just off just by putting jesus on the screen. they re going to make big bucks by putting jesus on the screen when there is faith behind it. that is why the passion worked. that is why this works. and i thank you, mark and roma, for doing that. it is not just jesus, it is people believing that he is who he said he was. what are your thoughts? my jesus moment was roma and mark had a screening with 800 hispanics, when he started multiplying the loaves, and for the first time ever, i saw him cry. because it is a universal story of the love of god and his provision for everybody. what was the reaction in the room? it was like a silent hurry of
