Pulling on this thread some more. Eli McGowan's career is in film making in all sorts of roles. He has made a number of short films as the director, including participating in the 48-hour film festival. His wife Emily has worked alongside him, writing many of the films. One... that stood out to me as I looked through his filmography was "The Patriarch." Directed by Eli, written by Emily. This film depicts a Patriarchal Christian father that rules over his wife and daughter with an iron fist. He leads them through family worship, he berates them and belittles them. The film takes an even darker turn when the wife overhears the daughter being raped by her father in the other room and attempts to get into the room but is stopped by a locked door. You read that correctly, the father rapes his daughter as a part of his "patriarchal" rule. This pushes the mom and daughter to their breaking point in which they attempt to run away while the father pursues them with a gun, until the father is shot by the daughter but not killed. Cut to a scene where the police ask the mom and daughter how they feel about the father being acquitted. Cut again to the father calmly loading an AR-15 in his living room. And that's the end of the movie. No redemption, no justice, just a "patriarchal" father on the loose, ready to take revenge for the women daring to run away. Let's contextualize all this a bit more. Emily as we've already established is a homeschooler-turned-feminist who relishes in calling out men she deems "misogynists." Eli claims, in multiple places publicly, to be patriarchal. Film is a way to express yourself, to communicate a message to an audience in a creative way. As the writer and director you are the primary communicators of that message. What kind of message are you sending to the world with this film? The Patriarch paints Christian father rule in the home in possibly the worst light imaginable. With no justice served in the end, what is the viewer left with? Nihilism and a distorted view of Biblical Patriarchy. Is this the kind of message Christian filmmakers and writers should be communicating to the world? That patriarchy in its excesses will lead to rape, incest and murder, with no repercussions? This is establishing a pattern of disturbing behavior from both Eli and Emily. From defending a convicted sex offender, promoting fictional p0rn, and producing nihilistic films that portray conservative Christian men as demonic rapist murderers. It's no wonder Eli has spent his time hunting down Christian men online who he deems have crossed the arbitrary line of being "too right wing." Are these really people you trust to perpetrate this moral crusade? These are the stalwart "Christians" that are held up as members in good standing in the PCA? Why are the anons the only ones asking these questions? Where are the Christian leaders? Why did Reformed leaders partner with these people? Watch the clips I've provide from the film, and watch the whole film for yourself (it's only 5 min) and you decide if this is something normal conservative Christians would produce?show more

Andrei Tarkovsky on Ingmar Bergman's Shame (1968): "Let us look at Bergman's Shame. The film doesn't contain a single 'actor's piece' for the performer to 'give away' the director's purpose, to play the conception of the persona, his attitude to it, to assess it in relation to the overall idea; and the latter is entirely hidden within the dynamic of the characters' lives, at one with it. The people in the film are crushed by circumstances; they act only in accordance with their situation, to which they themselves are subordinate; they make no attempt to proffer us any idea, any perspective on what is happening, or to draw any conclusion. All of that is left to the film as a whole, to the director's vision. And how superbly it is accomplished! You cannot say in simple terms who amongst them is good or bad. I could never say that von Sydow is a bad man. They are all partly good and partly bad, each in his own way. No judgements are passed, because there is no hint of tendentiousness in any of the actors, and the circumstances of the film are used by the director to explore the human possibilities which they test, and not for a moment in order to illustrate a thesis. Max von Sydow's character is developed with masterly power. He is a very good man; a musician; kind and sensitive. It turns out that he is a coward. But by no means every bold man is a good human being, and cowards are not always scoundrels. Of course, he is weak and irresolute. His wife is far stronger than he, so much so that she can overcome her fear. The hero lacks that strength. He is tormented by his own weakness, vulnerability, lack of resilience; he tries to hide, to cower in a corner, not to see and not to hear; and he does this like a child, naively and with complete sincerity. But when circumstances nevertheless force him to defend himself, he instantly turns into a scoundrel. He loses all that was best in him; but the drama and absurdity of his situation is that as he is now he becomes necessary to his wife, who, in her turn, looks to him for protection and succour instead of despising him as she always had. When he beats her about the face and says 'Get out!' she goes crawling after him. There is something here of the age-old idea of passive good and active evil; but its expression is immensely complex. At the beginning of the film the hero cannot even kill a chicken, but as soon as he has found a way of defending himself he becomes a cruel cynic. He has something of Hamlet: my view is that the Prince of Denmark perishes not as a result of the duel, when he dies physically, but immediately after the 'rat' scene, when he understands how irreversible are those laws of life which have forced him, a man of humanity and intellect, to act like the inferior people who inhabit Elsinore. Von Sydow is now a sinister character, afraid of nothing: he kills; will not raise a finger to save his fellows; pursues only his own interests. The point is that you have to be a person of great integrity to feel fear in the face of the foul necessity to kill and humiliate. And by shedding that fear and apparently acquiring courage, a person in fact loses his spiritual strength and intellectual honesty and parts from his innocence. War is the obvious catalyst for the cruel, anti-human elements in people. Bergman uses the war in this film exactly as he uses the heroine's illness in Through a Glass Darkly: to explore his view of man." — "Sculpting in Time" by Andrei Tarkovsky (translated by Kitty Hunter-Blair, 1987)

In this scene from Crystal Skull where Indy is informed he's lost his teaching job, there's a gag in the background where his students are so interested in what's going on with him that they try to eavesdrop on his conversation with the dean, and the two of them have to move down the hallway for some privacy. This is one of the losses Indy sustains at the beginning of the film, which he mentions alongside the loss of his father and Marcus. It's a real loss, because he loves his job and his students still clearly adore him. Of course by the end of the film, Indy has regained his job (and been promoted to associate dean), which we learn about moments before he marries Marion, with his son standing next to him as his best man. James Mangold apparently did not find any of this satisfying or realistic, and so in Dial of Destiny, Indy's students are bored and apathetic and no longer pay attention to him. An exhausted Indy decides to retire from teaching, an occupation which obviously no longer brings him much joy. Aside from a small office party put on mostly by older colleagues (some of whom are shortly to be brutally murdered), the impression is given that few people care very much that Indy is going away. It's just another way the world has left Indy behind, and another way Indy has decided to give up. By the end of the film there is of course no restoration of Indy's pride as a teacher, just as there can be no restoration of his dead son.

An Iranian filmmaker has made this short one-minute film for public awareness. The poor father stole the roti from the shop, but as soon as he came out, the shopkeeper stopped him. Confused daughter asks father what happened??? The father gets worried and opens his lips to apologize, the shopkeeper says, daughter, your father forgot the rest of the money, also counts some money and catches it. While going out, the father is seen helpless in remorse and helplessness, then the other person sitting in the shop shouts and says, "You are forgetting the bag of rice too........!! * If you help people by keeping the veil, then on the Day of Judgment, Allah will shower His grace and reward on you.

"There are no entertaining moments in 'Mirror' (1975). In fact I am categorically against entertainment in cinema: it is as degrading for the author as it is for the audience." --- Andrei Tarkovsky Full Excerpt: "'Mirror' (1975) is an autobiographical film. The things that happen are real things that happened to people close to me. That is true of all the episodes in the film. But why do people complain that they cannot understand it? The facts are so simple, they can be taken by every one as similar to the experience of their own lives. But here we come up against something that is peculiar to cinema: the further a viewer is from the content of a film, the closer he is; what people are looking for in cinema is a continuation of their lives, not a repetition. There are no entertaining moments in the film. In fact I am categorically against entertainment in cinema: it is as degrading for the author as it is for the audience. The purpose of 'Mirror', its inspiration, is that of a homily: look, learn, use the life shown here as an example. There are so many films now, and they are all so different, that very soon it will be impossible to plan for distribution to cinemas. That will be the beginning of a new phase in the development of film, which is after all the youngest art form, it is only about seventy years old. Films will start to be handed out as cassettes, people will take them home, every viewer will find himself face to face with the film he particularly likes. And what of cinema, the mass medium, you may ask ? Mass is not a criterion of quality. The same could be said about the number of people involved in the making of a film. Numbers are not the point. A small team working together is preferable to a large collective. Another question: What is going to happen to Mirror? We don't know yet. For the moment the film is only being shown in three cinemas, and they started with two. They are trying it out first, because the organs responsible for distribution are afraid it might be a failure. When they heard that people sat on and wouldn't leave, one of the highly placed distribution officials observed that normal people leave the cinema." [A talk by Tarkovsky in the Building Institute, 1975 about his film 'Mirror' (1975)]

This father has shared custody with his daughter. The school has a father daughter dance and he has wanted to take his daughter for the past two years but it's always on the weekend that his ex has her and she comes up with excuses so he can't take her. The step mom knew how much it has bothered the father so she told him to be in a suit when he got home from work and to have flowers because she had a special surprise for him when he got home. When he got home, he was greeted by his daughter in a formal dress. Not only did the wife get her a dress but made snacks, and decorated the home for the occasion. Do you agree that divorced parents should not prevent each other from having these precious moments with their children?

🇺🇦 Blogger Tsygan smuggles his father in the trunk to Europe. He explained how he helped his father escape from the "Desna" military training camp. His father had documents as a father of many children, but he was still taken to the military enlistment office and sent to the training camp. After that, Tsygan and his sister went to the training camp by car, and when his father went to the store, they put him in the trunk and drove him through checkpoints. Then they "bought a way" for his father to the Czech Republic, and he is there now.

Eric Rohmer on the use of Colour in "La Collectionneuse" (1967) and "Claire's Knee" (1970): "I didn't use color as a dramatic element, as some filmmakers have done. For me it's something inherent in the film as a whole. I think that in 'La Collectionneuse' (1967) color above all heightens the sense of reality and increases the immediacy of the settings. In this film color acts in an indirect way; it's not direct and there aren't any color effects, as there are for example in Bergman's most recent film, his second one in color, where the color is very deliberately worked out and he gets his effects mainly by the way he uses red. I've never tried for dramatic effects of this kind, but. for example, the sense of time-evening, morning, and so on-can be rendered in a much more precise way through color. Color can also give a stronger sense of warmth, of heat, for when the film is in black-and-white you get less of a feeling of the different moments of the day, and there is less of what you might call a tactile impression about it. In 'Claire's Knee' (1970), I think it works in the same way: the presence of the lake and the mountains is stronger in color than in black-and-white. It's a film I couldn't imagine in black-and-white. The color green seems to me essential in that film, I couldn't imagine it without the green in it. And the blue too-the cold color as a whole. This film mould have no value for me in black-and-white. It's a very difficult thing to explain. It's more a feeling I have that can't be reasoned out logically." (Eric Rohmer's interview with Graham Petrie, Film Quarterly, 1971)

🚨 Tim Dillon says the new leader of Iran will be more dedicated to getting a nuke since we killed his entire family “And a lot of people are saying, we're starting off on the wrong foot with him. 'cause we killed his father, his wife, and maybe his daughter, right? We killed his daughter as well. Maybe didn't like his wife and his father. You know, here's the deal. You can't ever know the inner dynamics of any family. I'm sure he was startled by the killing of his father, wife and daughter. But I think on the flip side, this is a new day for him. He gets to be the leader. He can get another wife.He may have had another wife, he may have multiple wives. That's part of that thing they do. And 'cause a lot of people have been saying we killed this guy's father, wife, daughter, his family, and that's probably gonna make him angry and like, kind of like attacking his country and killing his family. He's gonna even be more dedicated to getting a nuke because that would've prevented this. There is that school of thought out there, you know, that he's actually gonna be more dedicated to enriching uranium to make a nuclear weapon, to prevent another attack by the US and Israel.”

Andrei Tarkovsky on whether he is a Christian Filmmaker & how he expected the audience to interpret "The Sacrifice" (1986): "I believe that it's truly not important to know if I subscribe to certain beliefs, whether pagan, Catholic, Orthodox, or simply Christian. The important thing is the work itself. It seems to me better to judge the work from a general perspective, and not to be searching for contradictions which some wish to see in my work. A work of art isn't always a mirror reflection of the inner world of the artist, particularly when it comes to the smallest of details. While it's true, there exists a certain logical connection... it's possible for there to be an opposition to the personal beliefs of the artist. When I directed this film, I was convinced it had to address itself to all types of audiences. When I was very young I asked my father, "Does God exist-yes or no?" And he answered me brilliantly: "For the unbeliever, no, for the believer, yes!" This problem is very important. I want to say in relation to this that it's possible to interpret the film in different ways. For instance, those who are interested in various supernatural phenomena will search for the meaning of the film in the relationship between the postman and the witch, for them these two characters will provide the principal action. Believers are going to respond most sensitively to Alexander's prayer to God, and for them the whole film will develop around this. And finally a third category of viewers who don't believe in anything will imagine that Alexander is a bit sick, that he's psychologically unbalanced as a result of war and fear. Consequently many kinds of viewers will perceive the film in their own way. My opinion is that its necessary to afford the spectator the freedom to interpret the film according to their own inner vision of the world, and not from the point of view that I would impose upon him. For my aim is to show life, to render an image, the tragic, dramatic image of the soul of modern man. In conclusion, can you imagine such a film being directed by a non believer? I can't." (Andrei Tarkovsky's interview with Charles H. de Brantes, 1986) P.S: On this day, 40 years ago, "The Sacrifice" (1986) was released in Sweden.

A father was shopping with his young daughter, she was playing for a money on some playground equipment in the mall when a man approached his daughter and tried to lure her away. The father immediately stood up and went to his daughter, the man then kept going looking like he was confused and pretended nothing happened. The father kept a close eye on the man and soon discovered that he wasn’t alone. The man was working in a group, he had someone for a lookout, someone as a distraction, and someone to block any would be rescuers. He ended up calling the police and safety took his daughter home. I know he wanted to record them to spread awareness but if this happened to you wouldn’t you just call the cops and head out right away, you don’t know who else is involved right?

A father was shopping with his young daughter, she was playing for a money on some playground equipment in the mall when a man approached his daughter and tried to lure her away.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT WAS HER CRIME??? Meet 6 year old Prachi from Maharashtra’s Kerur. Like any other little child, Prachi probably enjoyed going on trips with her father. Last week she went to Nizamabad in Telangana with her father Panduranga, an aspiring village sarpanch. Prachi was later found dead in Bodhan canal by the Telangana police. Her biggest mistake, she is the unwanted child born to a monstrous father!!! Panduranga has three children and was upset because he cannot contest in the upcoming village sarpanch elections in Maharashtra due to the “two children policy”…. he will be disqualified because of the rule. He tried to give away Prachi for adoption, even tried to manipulate her birth records and when everything failed, he took her on a trip to the adjacent Nizamabad district in Telangana, he threw her in a canal and went back as if nothing happened. Prachi was later discovered floating in the canal. Police were shocked to find that a father did this to his daughter just to contest in an election. Prachi was Panduranga’s second child. He has an elder son and a younger child (gender is not revealed but I am assuming another son). This wannabe politician decided to murder his own daughter because she is a daughter. And yet we call this the land of Devis and Devathas!!! The entire nation’s morality hangs on the shoulders of women of this nation where they are casually killed for a variety of reasons including an election rule🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 PS: Knowing this country, Panduranga may get a ticket, win the election and also walk out Scot-free from the murder of his daughter.

"A priest’s testimony: "If Islam is violent as they claim, no Christian or Jew would have survived the early muslim conquest!" In this touching and peaceful message, Father Elias Zahlawi, a Christian priest from Damascus, Syria, speaks from the heart about the true face of Islam. He reminds the world that what many in the West call “Muslim terrorism” has nothing to do with Islam — a faith that has always promoted coexistence, compassion, and respect for all humanity. Born and raised among both Christians and Muslims, Father Elias shares his personal experience of friendship, harmony, and brotherhood in the land where these faiths have lived side by side for centuries. This short speech is not just a statement — it’s a testimony of truth and peace from a man who has lived it. Quran 60:8. As for those who have not fought against you for your religion, nor expelled you from your homes, God does not prohibit you from dealing with them kindly and equitably. God loves the equitable. Quran 5:82-83 82. You will find that the people most hostile towards the believers are the Jews and the polytheists. And you will find that the nearest in affection towards the believers are those who say, “We are Christians.” That is because among them are priests and monks, and they are not arrogant. 83. And when they hear what was revealed to the Messenger, you see their eyes overflowing with tears, as they recognize the truth in it. They say, “Our Lord, we have believed, so count us among the witnesses.”"

This father is riding along with his wife and daughter. They come upon an intersection where a man is assaulting a woman. He stops to help. Watch as he navigates the man trying to approach his family. Did he have reasonable cause to point his gun at the stranger? Would you do the same? If he tried to approach me with my daughter, I’d probably do the same. The young daughter tells her dad she’s proud of him at the end of the video.

This is how to commit political suicide in the United States. This is a Christian nation. Jesus is THE Son of God. He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one gets to the Father except through Him.

Quentin Tarantino on why he feels Sergio Leone is the greatest Italian Filmmaker & the influence of Leone on modern Filmmakers: "To me when it comes to the filmmakers of the 1960s that mean the most to— less in the 1970s and 1980s—but to filmmakers of the 1990s and into the 2000s, I do believe that Leone is pointing the way towards modern filmmaking. The way that we've been making movies from the 1990s onwards. One, there is the comic book panache, him realising it, and Corbucci’s right with him on that, and in both their cases there is the excitement and the action scenes that you would see develop later in filmmaking, like in 'The Terminator' (1984) or something. There is a sizzle to the action scenes. And Elvis Mitchell [the critic, scholar and broadcaster, who introduced the live reading of the first draft of 'The Hateful Eight' in April 2014] will do film classes, and he says that he'll show a film to them, these young students, this movie from the 1950s, this movie from the 1960s, this movie from the 1940s. But when he shows them a Sergio Leone, if they haven't seen it before, that's when they pick up. That's when they start recognising the elements. That’s when they're not just ‘I’m looking at an older movie now’. Again, it’s the use of music, the use of the set piece, the ironic sense of humour that is played through the whole thing. They appreciate the surrealism, the craziness, and again, they appreciate the music and the cutting to music, that is what they recognise. So it is the true beginning of what filmmaking had evolved to by the 1990s... You don't go past Leone, you start with Leone.. For my money I think he is the greatest of all Italy's filmmakers. I would go even as far as to say that he is the greatest combination of complete film stylist where he creates his own world—but with the storyteller part of him as well. Those two are almost never married. To be as great a stylist as he is and create this operatic world, but he does it inside of a genre and he does actually pay attention to the rules of the genre: even though he is breaking the rules all the time—he is delivering you a wonderful Western." (Quentin Tarantino's foreword in "Once Upon a time in the West: Shooting a masterpiece", Christopher Frayling, 2018)
