With all the sex, violence and bad language in most mainstream movies, it’s no surprise that Hollywood is often associated with godless immorality. If a good, old-fashioned Christian household wants some wholesome entertainment, where are they meant to turn? Do not fear, Pure Flix are here. Pure Flix specialise in releasing films that appeal to Christian viewers (particularly Christian conservatives).
Their first big success was with “God’s Not Dead”. A film that was ridiculed by internet atheists, who seemingly have nothing better to do than whinge about movies that discuss faith and morality. However, the mean comments on the internet will not deter the righteous and Pure Flix have pressed on and churned out a fairly sizeable library of films.
All of their movies want you to know that they are Christian films with a strong spiritual message. We got “I’m Not Ashamed” about the religious convictions of the first victim of the Columbine shooting. Also, despite having nothing to do with the original film, Pure Flix did “Unbroken: Path To Redemption” about athlete Louis Zamperini’s experience at a Billy Graham Crusade.
They have also done some films that focus on some of the more controversial elements of Christian theology. “Jerusalem Countdown” might look like your average action flick at first but the plot involves the rapture and Muslims trying to destroy the nation of Israel. It does not exactly sound like normal family viewing.
