Jesus Was a Commie is a film in which Matthew Modine uses imagery and in-depth thought, presenting questions about modern society based on the studies of Jesus, original Communism and the world we live in. The film is made more powerful by his ability to present ideas instead of statistical facts, leaving the viewer with more questions than answers.
The movie title sparked my curiosity. From the opening scene till it's close, this film captured my attention and held my interest. Jesus Was a Commie is not really political or religious, but more thought provoking, challenging some of the ideas that many take for granted as "fact." The scenes in the movie, though sometimes disturbing, are matched perfectly with the narration, making it easy to get lost in and leaving me hungry for "just a little bit more."
I think everyone should watch Jesus Was a Commie. I think it should be studied in schools and discussed at length until our minds have opened to the possibilities of a world we can create.
