Rien à perdre

It's sad to see the art of cinema used for propaganda purposes. Of course it's not the first time, and it won't be the last.

Objectively speaking, this is not a good movie. It lacks quality in all forms of the production: bad direction, barely acceptable acting and photography.

The script is also lacking, but that's almost forgivable when you realize this is propaganda movie.

So why this movie has such good ratings?

This is a propaganda movie, made by a well known church in Brazil. It's a huge, extremely wealthy group, and they have the ability to pull this off. Their intention is, I believe, to both please the ego of their leader, Edir Macedo, and serve as a recruiting tool, to gather more members.

They, most likely, have thousands of members coming here and writing fake reviews, with text clearly translated using Google Translator or similar services.

And I think they will keep coming.

I urge you look into this Church, and why it's so concerning to have this movie here, getting this kind of attention.

Watching this movie is the worst thing you can do to spend your time on. Full of fanaticism, zealotry and partiality. It only reflects how blind faith and dogmatism can be dangerous and manipulative. Other than that, this movie does not show a biography of someone whose life is blameless, it is more like a brainwashing attempt to cover up a very dubious past.

Unfortunately the film portrays a very bad reality. Unfortunately it was made with money from church donations to spread the gospel in Brazil.

The film is not very well produced. it is in the level of the many brazillian Novelas that are mass produced to air every day for months. The story is clearly fake, with hints at supernatural events and the attempt to make the one who paid for it a good person; It hides the facts regarding the way he got rich, by taking people's homes, salary and goods by making promises of riches and blessings. An imoral movie about an imoral person trying to wash away the well documented facts about his rise to power.

Misdirected film, scenery with weak setting, tiring narrative, forced acting and false story. An attempt to create a martyr in the figure of a religious who manipulates people.
