Why haven’t more people turned out to watch The Cabrini Movie?
We live in the Bible Belt in a community filled with conservative Christian churches. One might expect that the opening day of a Christian movie would have a full house of moviegoers, especially one directed by Alejandro Gómez Monteverde, the man who brought the breakout conservative film, the Sound of Freedom Movie, to the screen. The Cabrini Movie opened Friday at B&B Theatres Waynesville Patriot 12 and also has nearby showings in Lebanon, and has been praised by Glenn Beck of The Blaze who said “the only Christian film made in my lifetime that is this good is probably Passion of the Christ.” There’s even a local connection: a former Waynesville High School student, Lukas Behnken, was a line producer on The Cabrini Movie.
Those attendance expectations would be wrong.
I’m not a film critic — I’m a fan of classical movies from Hollywood’s “Golden Age” and only rarely watch modern movies because so many of them are created to promote liberal garbage — so I’ll quote Glenn Beck who has credibility on this subject that I don’t. In his words: “So if you believe in changing the culture, if you believe that we deserve better than just one choice of Hollywood, then this is the kind of thing that you need to get involved with.”
