PATREON MOVIE DISCUSSION:
This movie was selected by our Patreon Supporters over at the Cinematic DoctrinePatreon. Support as little as $3 a month and have your voice heard!
Daniel shares his extensive thoughts on Donda, the new Kanye album, which segways well into discussing one of Christian music's most prominent songs, I Can Only Imagine, and the movie that shares its name. From setting the stage with the world of CCM, to I Can Only Imagine's release and world domination, then finally right into the movie itself, Melvin and Daniel dive into many topics on this Patreon selected episode!
Topics:
- Daniel texted Melvin and asked if he could talk about Donda. So, we talk about Donda for 15 minutes.
- Donda feels like two albums: one a great album, the other an unfinished mess.
- Daniel feels "Jesus Lord" is potentially Kanye's magnum opus.
- Daniel, "Jesus is King is such a genuine reflection of young faith."
- Introducing I Can Only Imagine [14:58]
- A brief history of CCM in the early 2000's which set the stage for the song I Can Only Imagine.
- Explaining the impact of the song I Can Only Imagine.
- Melvin had three not-so-positive (but not deal-breaking) observations that made it hard for him to fully enjoy the movie I Can Only Imagine.
- I Can Only Imagine is a 'good Christian movie' because "it just does all the things a movie should."
- Melvin, "I would have liked if the bulk of the movie was the reconciliation between [Bart Millard] and his dad."
- For Daniel, the ending is too cheesy when compared to the real life events they seem to semi-replicate.
- I Can Only Imagine, as a movie, isn't trying to sell you anything, and that's likely why it worked well with critics.
