The Atheist -- short movie made in Hawaii

[Loki]

So, let me summarize. You hate me, so you're going to be spiteful and trash this guy's film.

Everyone keeps saying this film was preachy. DUH!, he shot it to enter in a Christian Film Festival. He has another thread where he talked about making it months ago.

I suppose you could infer I dislike this film because you're a forum troll.... or.. maybe it's cause you 'don't read good' .

Why bother getting opinions on obviously 'non christian' boards then? Seems we're all concerned with the filmmaking.. which begs the question.. why are your feathers so ruffled.. this isn't even your film..?

Seems like the original poster has a much cooler demeanor than you do.

props for that sir.

peas.

You think I'm a troll and can't read. Got it

People jump all over this kind of 'film' and i use that term very loosely here... because it is not good.

I've written like ten different responses to this.. sigh.. I have many insightful things to say on the topic of religion.. but instead I will boil it down to a simple equation cause I can't contain my resentment for the quoted poster and his obvious troll tactics.

Religion = Bunk.

Faith = Not Bunk.

As for this so called film...there really wasn't anything I liked about it.. the horrid makeup work made turn it off at first.. and only because I wanted to come back and dispute the idiocy of Loney Childress did I end up watching more.

The acting is terrible. The Dialogue is bleh. The editing has that lets cut because I 'filmed lots of angles'. And the entire thing comes off as preachy which I suppose isn't a stretch considering the source.

my random intuition tells me; that someone not an atheist.. and not a christian... and solely acting as a 'filmmaker' would have made a much more compelling film. This is a talking head.. telling us the story... instead of showing us in an interesting way.

Basically I disliked this a great deal as a film. Loney Childress brought out the spiteful side of me. Though.. my name is Loki.

But the greatest irony of all.. is your forum name... Existentialist.... simply stunning..

don't worry I am leaving. I'll let the door hit me on the way out.

Hey, don't worry, it's all good. Thanks for your input. Much appreciated.

amazing. that is exactly the OPPOSITE of what i've been trying to communicate to you -- this is a place for open minds, not generalizations and unfounded labels and straw man arguments. not here, man. :angry:

lumping all atheists together as Christian hating, post editing, foul-mouths is not "having an opinion".

I guess even though it's very difficult to keep from expressing the idealogical ideas from watching my movie, I am, here on DVXuser, more interested in people's opinions about the technical aspects of it. You can express how you feel openly, though, I'm ok with that. But I appreciate more the criticism on why it looks bad, or why it didn't appeal to your eyes.

I'm a film maker here, and willing to learn, so I can keep preaching in my movies in the near future with better vusuals LOL, I was just kidding on that one.

But take it easy, people. More love, more peace heah.

The acting and dialogue feel very forced (at least in the first 3 minutes - that's all I've watched), and the editing is a bit contrived, but I like the cinematography - you have some very pretty shots. There's just a...natural flow that seems to be missing.
