Hi if anyone reads this I’m a Christian and an aspiring Unit Still Photographer. I’m building a portfolio of my stills. I also wrote a thriller and want to connect if anyone needs any photos. I live in Los Angeles area.
@Interestingten10 Says:
saying "some of these characters 'embody' jesus" is not true. also bible says heart is deceptive so no one should follow it and also harry potter is a movie about sorcery.
@noneofyourbusiness7055 Says:
Everyone hates stories about someone following their heart and sacrifice themes are stolen from the bible, seriously?! Either Turek knows as little about film as he does about science and history, or this is more of that lying for Jesus thing I've heard so much about. Could be both, too...
@bradleywelch9290 Says:
Fun fact, the creators of the marvel films purposely made parralells to the bible in their movies. Quite nefarious. For example, iron man 1, Tony was in a cave oresumably dead for 3 days and seemingly rose up on the 3rd. Clear parallel to Jesus. A lot has indicated that Tony represents an antichrist figure. Look it up if u have time on yt. I view these films from a completely fictional and entertainment stand point, but sometimes it's hard to ignore how hateful towards Christianity some people can get. Either they're just wierd atheists or something demonic is going on in the background.
@Ponera-Sama Says:
Tony Stark didn't sacrifice himself knowing he's going to come back to life 3 days after he died, so he made a greater sacrifice than Jesus. So did Thanos for that matter.
@thechristsknight7758 Says:
Let Hollywood burn.... Now is the time for us to rise up and make better movies than theirs!!! NOT horrible trash like God's Not Dead, but beautiful and inspiring stuff like The Shack, Jesus Revolution, Sound of Freedom, Narnia, Princ of Egypt, and so on...
@drumrnva Says:
Christian films are EXQUISITELY boring and unimaginative. I guess Turek's never heard of the hero stories composed long before Jesus ever lived?
@JamesRichardWiley Says:
What is the Film Industry? Whoever heard of creating your own film if you think you have the talent or applying for a job with an independent filmmaker you respect?
@billyholly Says:
I won't do nudity, for sure. I'm careful about what the theme of the movie is, as well. I won't do any gambling clips, a huge industry where I currently live. I'm also particular about commercials for products that are inferior or harmful to people, like alcohol.
@gi169 Says:
Thank you CE, God bless your awesome channel.
@harryfaber Says:
Not that I have had any offers, but I don't think I would want to work in the film industry. My liver wouldn't take the strain...
@willievanstraaten1960 Says:
@willievanstraaten1960 1 second ago Damn, Frank, you are confirming that god and Jesus are nothing more than fictional superheroes. Frank 1:38 “and show that if you love Iron Man you're going to love Jesus if you love Harry Potter you're going to love Jesus if you love Frodo you're going to love Jesus all of these Heroes.” Brilliant apologetics.
@MarianoRodriguez Says:
Should they post on YouTube? Everything is satan-owned. So, pick your poison.
@dustyk103 Says:
Yes, but not under anti-Christian leftists. We have great films like LotR, The Matrix, and The Avengers until 2020 when they left got total control over Disney and other entertainment companies. Marvel produced great Christian content under Stan Lee, and Disney followed the path of Walt for decades after his death. But now these companies are being corrupted from within by leftists who want to destroy the legacies of these two legendary Christian entertainers and destroy their message of Christ. Ninety percent of evil comes from without, but ten percent infiltrates what is good to corrupt it from within. Christians will produce honest entertainment and righteous moral lessons, while leftists will produce propaganda to corrupt minds and darken hearts with perversion and false facts.
@kevin12061998 Says:
NOT Harry Potter.... movie is evil as well as the books... Christians STAY AWAY 🙏🏼🙏🏼
@arthouston7361 Says:
Frank has just accurately pointed out something that I have been saying for a couple of decades, that every hero ever created by Stan Lee or anyone else, is a placeholder character for the love and sacrifice and power of our Lord and Savior. He is the “super man” which literally means “above man” that has come to earth to defend truth, justice, and the American way. He is the average teenage kid that finds that he can climb walls and corral evil men and criminals. He is the guy who can build a suit and overcome the greatest threats to all mankind. All of these figures are the secular acceptance of the concept of our Lord and Savior.

And if one of your hands will prevent from entering into the kingdom, cut it off. For it is better to enter into the kingdom maimed than going to hell with both hands. Except here, it is better to enter into the kingdom Hungary than to go to hell with a full belly.

@Thundawich Says:
Sorry, I'm not really seeing much overlap between ironman/harry potter/frodo and Jesus. What specific aspects are you finding common between the characters?
@michelangelope830 Says:
Necesito que generaciones futuras conozcan la falacia lógica atea porque les ayudará saber la verdad. El ateismo es una falacia lógica que asume Dios es la idea religiosa del creador de la creación y concluye erróneamente que el creador no existe porque una idea particular de Dios no existe. Ellos entenderán el daño que se está haciendo a niños inocentes y vulnerables que son engañados por sus padres que censuran el conocimiento que salva sus vidas. Para morir en paz necesito saber que la falacia lógica atea está en buenas manos. No estoy pidiendo que estés de acuerdo conmigo, tan solo que se preserve conocimiento que podría acabar destruido. Para acabar con la guerra en Ucrania el descubrimiento de que el ateísmo es una falacia lógica tiene que ser noticia. Espero ser entendido por el Bien de Dios. Ofrezco dinero a quien me ayude a superar la más severa y devastadora censura de la historia en una era de social media por muchos años.
@isaacsimon8069 Says:
I don't really understand how Jesus made a meaningful sacrifice. Sacrificing one's life for the sake of someone else is only meaningful because you only have one life to give. If you would come back to life three days later it wouldn't be much of a sacrifice.
@nemanjacabarkapalordozunu Says:
What a coincidence that you made this video because I will soon become a tv show director.
@nobody1042 Says:
I do not love Harry Potter movies. He is in the occult world. I love Jesus.
@somerandom3247 Says:
The concept of a character sacrificing themselves is far olded than Christianity. So where did Christianity steal it from?

Christians ought to dominate art as Christ is the ultimate derivation of all that's profoundly moving.
@steveprofiler Says:
why care
@oreally8605 Says:
They have to steal from God or they don't have a storyline. They'll come up with one that's not worth anything.
@calebe4266 Says:
To anyone reading this, go to the video essay of dan t.berett (i think that's his name), he did a video essay about how christian movies could be better and he even pointed to other video essay, so you habe two (besides, he have few videos and all of them are amazing, I recommend for both christians and non-christians)
@larzman651 Says:
I liked iron man but the passion of the CHRIST had the movie theater in tears that carried out into the parking lot. For GOD so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whomsoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life 🙌

Sorry Frank, I don't have enough evidence to be a Christian

I'm a filmmaker and I've been offered many paths into the film industry... but praise God, I decided to turn away from Hollywood and focus on making Christian films that resonate with audiences and aren't afraid to be bold
@DanceMotherSuperior Says:
Thank you for this advice. My husband is in special practical effects and he has endured “the business” for almost 35 years so that I could stay home and homeschool our children. He has sacrificed much for our family: more months on location than home, sever physical injuries, dealing with the temptations, dealing with the idiocy, etc. He has slain too many dragons to count! He is my hero! And it all has been to the glory of our God and Savior Jesus Christ!!
@96tolife Says:
Do people in the film industry need Jesus? If the answer is "Yes" then you have your answer.
@sansebastiansj Says:
I work in a film industry. And it's always an uphill battle. I've wanted to make a film with a Polish division of netflix (Poland is where I live), but they wanted to impliment woke ideas into my movie, so I left. I was like "It doesn't even fit into my story". I have to make my movie alone now. It's hard, but I WILL NOT SELL Jesus for their woke inclusivity. The greatest stories ever have roots in the Bible.
@lairdey Says:
Obviously, a Christian needs to feel called into that industry. Having said that, my personal feeling is that we have no right to complain about the decline of the culture, if we are unwilling to move the needle on shifting the culture back towards Christ.
@b_radbrad8899 Says:
I really needed this! As a Christian going it the Industry it is so important to keep and follow the faith.

You see how a Biblical world view and a naturalistic world view contradict each other. Putting others before yourself is Godly putting self first in natural

How ironic. Jesus the saviour is itself a retelling of earlier stories along with many of the OT yarns.
