The Apostle (Christian Movie)


"The Apostle", starring Robert Duvall is an outstanding film, breathtaking in its simplicity and yet imbued with complex and deeply etched characters, a stunning and realistic portrayal of life inside a southern Pentecostal Christian community, and an eloquent chronicle of one man's search for redemption.

The movie's premise is simple and effective. Euliss "Sonny" Dewey is a Pentecostal preacher who has everything: a loving wife and two adoring children; a doting mother; and a thriving ministry. He is respected and loved by his church community.

But Sonny also has a problem, he suspects his wife being involved in an adulterous relationship. And his wife is indeed having an affair with the youth minister in their church. When Sonny discovers the truth about his wife, his life unravels. 
He is ousted as pastor of his church. One day, Sonny momentarily loses control, and in a drunken rage, smashes the youth minister's skull with a baseball bat.

Sonny flees from justice. Styling himself an itinerant preacher, he travels through rural southeastern Texas and into the bayou country of Louisiana. While he is traveling, he hears the voice of his conscience peck away at his vanity and worldly ways.

The majority of this beautiful film takes place in a small town in Louisiana's bayou country. Sonny, now self-baptized as "The Apostle E.F.," sets about resurrecting a small Pentecostal church which had fallen into disuse after the retirement of its pastor. With an infectious smile, eternally effervescent personality, and obvious love for the Lord, the "Apostle E.F." soon sets this bayou community on its ear. 

The Apostle, however, is constantly aware of his past, as his conscience reminds him of the enormity of his crime. How he deals with the issue of balancing God's love with God's justice is perhaps the central theme of this marvelous film.

"The Apostle" is a well crafted film which explores many issues confronting humanity: good versus evil; justice versus mercy; and virtue versus vice. This movie provides sensitive answers to pressing questions, and does so without ever becoming moralistic or "preachy." With a top-shelf screenplay and first-rate performances by an excellent cast, The Apostle is wonderful entertainment, as well as a movie with an important message.

I would ask every Christian to do 2 things.

1. If possible please buy this movie. Do you know that there are 2.2 billion Christians on earth today. But only a privileged 

few, around 12% have the means and the accessibility to buy Christian films. Many Christians are too poor to buy movies or 

live in places where Christian films are not available. 
That's not all. Out of the 12% who have the means and accessibility to buy Christian media, only around 0.5% ever buys a 

Christian movie. In other words only 1 out of 200 Christians ever buys a Christian movie. Pathetic ins't it?
Please buy the movies to keep Christian films in business.

2. Please seed the movies. If possible make copies and distribute to your poor neighbors. And please do pray for the movie 

makers and their families. Remember the Kingdom of Heaven is in you and so is the choice of Heaven/Hell.
