Leap Of Faith Analysis

817 Words4 Pages

The movie Leap of Faith had some realistic portrayals or ideas of faith in the characters. For the main characters, they are realistic because they do not believe in the faith or the religious act they are doing. This portrayal is realistic because there are some out there who don’t have any faith or believe in anything. As for the people who are visiting or attending these shows or sermons it is realistic of some people’s faith. I say this is realistic because some idolize preachers and pay to see them. I see the elements of faith, trust, and unity. I chose these because part of faith seems to be hope. Having hope in something or someone such as a higher power. Which is seen in the film with having hope in God. The main character who was leading …show more content…

When the crowd was not active or participating in the beginning, the girl crew member began telling the main character what to say. That is when the crowd began trusting them and one couple was even seen giving extra money because they were one of the people to have information shared about them. Finally, I saw unity being highlighted. Towards the end of the movie, after the kid could walk. The families were seen camping and being in tents. We saw them reading the bible, gathering around a camp fire, and more. Faith brings people together. Whether it is realistic or overly dramatized. I would say it is in the middle. For the elements highlighted I say they are realistic. In order to believe or have complete faith in something or a higher power you need to trust in what you are believing in. Which was portrayed realistically in the movie. The crowd needed proof to see that it was real. As mentioned, when the main character made accurate statements and the people confirmed it was true, then the crowd opened up. Whether it is overly dramatized is also in the middle. Being Pentecostal Christian, I have seen and attended services that get very riled up almost like the

    While it is clear that these protestors were victimized, it also called into question of their authenticity of their desire to enter the church to worship. Haynes records, “From the perspective within the targeted churches, of course, kneel-ins were not dramatic moral gestures but political stunts.” Since there are no accounts of the protestors causing conflict once they were allowed to enter the church, it is evident that these accusations should be regarded as largely false. However, the inclusion of these accusations in the book help the reader understand the fear mongering that caused many congregants to support the

  • The Razor's Edge Analysis

    Looking back on this movie, there were numerous instances that I really felt the religious impact of the film, and the search that the main character was on. From going back home from the war and all that happened, to living normal life again, and then going to various places looking for something. It was a pure aspect of searching for a higher calling, or looking for explanations that are not available to the every day person. How The Razor’s Edge depicted Hinduism was a little soft in my opinion, it is not an in your face kind of religion like some of them out there. It did however, really bring into light the various degrees that one must go when you are walking the path in search for a higher power.

    Connecticut farmer Nathan Cole was one such individual, “I dropt my tool that I had in my hand and ran home and run through my house and bade my wife get ready quick to go and hear Mr. Whitefield preach at Middletown.” Nathan was a believer in Christ who was brought to realize righteousness would not save him. The ‘New Light’s’ felt that the Old ways led to a general sense of complacency among the believers of Christ. George Whitefield states that these almost Christians have two states of mind about religion “that wavers between Christ and the world”. These people are tottering on the edge of sin as Jonathan Edwards tell us in the writing entitled Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God.

    Before I discuss my experience at Grace Lutheran Church I feel it would be beneficial to explain my Church Background, so that you can better understand my outsider view of the Sunday morning worship Service I attended. I have been raised in the Baptist/Southern Baptist church my entire life. My parents are from South Carolina, which is also where I grew up, so our idea of Church has always been a small community with a very relaxed atmosphere. I stopped attending the Baptists church when I was 16. I chose to join Bent-tree Bible Fellowship, a non-denominational church.

    There were some portions of the movie that had never happened, but this movie helped me understand the Second Crusade better than I did before. Even with the inaccuracies in the movie, I feel like it portrayed what really happened very well. The love story may not have been real, there was a love story between Sibylla and another character in real life. The injuries that were shown in the movie may not have been realistic, but it helped add to the movie about what was going on with the fighting. The cures for injuries may not have been real, or helped but it helped show what they did have at that time in the Middle Ages.
