I was introduced to this movie during a theology class and at first glance I was slightly annoyed with the title since communism has such negative connotations. However after hearing the message Mathew delivered and understanding why he made this comparison, I agreed with him to a certain extent. He has a point when he begins to talk about how communism and the teachings in the Bible correlate with one another. Both communism and Jesus' teachings tell us to give and help others. However both do this with different intentions. In my opinion communism suggests this in order to allow society to progress politically, while Jesus' tells us to give and help others in order to have society progress in a spiritual way. Therefore although the communist views and the teaching of Jesus correlate, I do not believe it is enough to call Jesus a communist.
This movie short has amazing graphics and audio. It also does an excellent job depicting all of the corruption that our society has and still is facing. By showing a man walking alone in a large city while viewing the homeless, Mathew causes us to think about how the world would be if we applied Jesus' teaching to our society. He also causes questions to arise about where Jesus would fit in our society and whose side he would take in the political sense.
Overall this movie short was a thought provoking and interesting insight into the idea of Jesus in the 21st century. Mathew does a wonderful job of making people thinking of Jesus' teachings in a different light.
