Our guest today is actor Ben Davies who has landed the lead role in twenty feature films and counting. In high school, he was a six-time All-American and held a National Gold Medal in both the Decathlon and Javelin. But after an athletic injury sidelined him in college, he got the call to audition for Sherwood Pictures' highly successful film, Courageous. Ben booked the co-starring role of David Thomson and won the "Light In Hollywood Award" for that performance. Ben also appeared in another highly successful film War Room, starring Karen Abercrombie. Ben definitely has the Lord's guiding hand upon him. Today, he is starring in this season's new Christmas movie Jingle Smells along side an all-star cast with John Schneider, Eric Roberts, Jim Breuer and Victoria Jackson to name a few.  #actor #filmproducer #thedailywire #faith #inspiration #filmmaker #filmmaking #sherwoodproductions #faithbasedfilms #movielover #Christmasmovie

TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜ www.filmgarantiti.it/it/articoli.php?id=183ESSERE ONESTI E' UN BUON AFFAREFlywheel è il volano: senza di esso il motore non può collegarsi all'albero di trasmissione e consentire alla macchina di muoversi. Quindi a camminare lungo le vie del Signore, secondo la metafora del film: la fede è proprio l'elemento mancante che ci consente di procedere sulla retta via.Il film racconta un caso di conversione da una angolatura interessante: narra la storia di un piccolo imprenditore, rivenditore di auto usate, sposato con un figlio, che decide di diventare un buon cristiano comportandosi in modo onesto ed offrendo a Dio l'apparente banalità della sua vita quotidiana, familiare e lavorativa.Jay Austin è un abile venditore ma utilizza questa dote per ricavare il massimo profitto dalle sue vendite, non denunciando i problemi che la macchina ha avuto in passato. È stato temerario nei suoi investimenti ed ora si trova con un debito bancario che non riesce a onorare.Sappiamo anche che è in rotta di collisione con i suoi genitori perché è stato un ragazzo ribelle che ha sempre voluto fare a modo suo. Questa sua continua preoccupazione per il guadagno non lo rende felice e finisce per trascurare la famiglia. La moglie, cristiana devota, lo pungola continuamente. Jay non è una persona cattiva ma ritiene logico che il suo impegno predominante sia fare il massimo dei profitti possibile; si reca a messa la domenica (probabilmente una chiesa battista) ma lo fa più per accondiscendere a sua moglie che per reale convinzione.Alla fine, confidando la sua insoddisfazione a un amico, il vecchio meccanico dell'officina, Jay comprende qual è la via da seguire: riconciliarsi con Dio e comportarsi onestamente.Nel salotto di casa, in un momento in cui è solo, si inginocchia a pregare e da quel momento inizia a rendere manifesta la sua conversione: chiede perdono a sua moglie e a suo padre, passa più tempo con il figlio, decide di praticare prezzi onesti, offre la sua azienda al Signore. Non tutti i problemi si risolvono e resta il grosso debito da pagare.È questo il momento in cui il film si avvicina di più al classico La vita è meravigliosa d Frank Capra ma poi recupera la sua originalità quando Jay decide di bussare alla porta di coloro che in passato ritiene di aver trattato in modo disonesto restituendo il guadagno indebito.Chi è cattolico e non americano non potrà fare a meno di notare alcune particolarità: marito e moglie leggono in casa la Bibbia e traggono ispirazione da essa (un atteggiamento che comunque non farebbe male a nessuno); l'importanza dei pastori che predicano alla televisione e una conversione basata su molta preghiera ma senza il sostegno dei sacramenti.Colpisce in particolare la fiducia in una retribuzione divina immediata, a seguito di un conversione sincera, che si concretizza nel successo negli affari. Un successo comunque non causato da abilità tecnica ma dalla risposta generosa di chi è stato beneficiato dal comportamento onesto di Jay.Il film è della casa di produzione Sherwood Pictures, (abbiamo già recensito Courageous), fondata dai fratelli Alex e Stephen Kendrick, entrambi pastori alla chiesa battista di Sherwood in Albany, Georgia.Tutti i loro film (Fireproof e Facing the Giants sono stati entrambi un grosso successo di botteghino) hanno un solo scopo: raccontare storie di persone che commettono degli errori ma che poi riescono a trovare la giusta strada grazie alla fede in Cristo.Flywheel è del 2003, ed è il primo della loro fortunata serie: si intravede una certa povertà di mezzi (la qualità delle immagini non è eccezionale), gli attori sono volontari, [...] ma la sceneggiatura è impeccabile e la regia è buona

While he's best known for his role in the movies Fireproof and Courageous, Ken Bevel's story goes far beyond these films. Growing up in Jacksonville, Florida, Ken's family did not have a lot of money, but they were happy. This all began to change when Ken's dad started to drink. Alcohol led to drugs and things began to spiral downward in his home. By age 17, Ken found his life heading toward disaster as he sought love and affirmation in all the wrong places. After a failed attempt to improve his life by changing locations, he finally came to the “end of his rope” and cried out to God. This desperate plea began a journey of learning to surrender and say “yes” to God no matter the circumstance. Join host Gabe Cleator and guest Ken Bevel as they walk through Ken's story and what God has done in his life.Ken Bevel is a graduate of the University of Memphis with a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Engineering Technology and a graduate of the Naval Postgraduate School with a Master of Business Administration degree in Logistics Management. After 20 years of active service in the United States Marine Corps, including tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan, Ken retired to serve in the ministry. Associate Pastor of Assimilation and Events" at Sherwood Baptist Church. Ken and Lauana have been happily married for 16 years and two children, Kyra and Kaleb.

TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜http://www.bastabugie.it/it/articoli.php?id=6135IL FILM SULLA STORIA VERA DI UN BAMBINO MALATO DI CANCRO CHE SCRIVE LETTERE A DIO di Franco OlearoTyler, il protagonista del film, è un ragazzo di 8 anni affetto da tumore al cervello e si deve continuamente sottoporre a fastidiose chemioterapie. Il padre è morto da tempo ma ha una madre affettuosa (Maddy) che si dedica quasi interamente a lui anche se non può trascurare il figlio più grande di 16. La nonna materna viene spesso a trovarli portando ottimi dolci e dando continuamente iniezioni di serenità a tutti, grazie alla sua solida fede.Tyler non si occupa di se stesso ma quando scrive le sue lettere a Dio (è il suo modo di pregare) chiede soprattutto che sua madre possa tornare a sorridere, che il postino, con il quale ha fatto amicizia, ritrovi il coraggio di ritornare dal figlio e dalla moglie dalla quale si è separato a causa del suo alcolismo e infine dichiara di perdonare Alex, il compagno di scuola che lo ha preso in giro per la sua testa rasata.Il film è notevole in due aspetti: nel valorizzare la forza della preghiera e nel riconoscere un senso soprannaturale alla sofferenza causata dalla malattia. Lo è anche in altri aspetti: nel valorizzare la funzione dei nonni in seno alla famiglia, nell'amicizia sul lavoro, quando è proprio il lavoro lo strumento chiave per riprendere le fila della propria vita e iniziare da capo, come succede al postino Brady.Il momento tornante della storia avviene a casa del nonno di Samantha, un ex trasformista e illusionista. "I compagni di scuola ti prendono in giro perché sono gelosi - spiega il nonno a Tyler, dopo che si è camuffato da cosacco - perché sei stato scelto da Dio. Perché quando gli altri ti vedono così forte e coraggioso, sono costretti a rivedere la propria vita. Ed è per questo forse che si prendono gioco di te. Tu sei un guerriero di Dio ed è tuo compito spingerli verso di Lui".Non capita tutti i giorni di trovare un film che si appelli in modo esplicito a dei significati soprannaturali per dare un senso a ciò che ci accade nella vita, ma "letters to God" ha un grande punto di forza che evita di scivolare nella retorica: la storia è vera e alla sceneggiatura ha contribuito lo stesso padre di Tyler, Patrick Doughtie. È stato David Nixon già co-produttore di Fireproof a convincersi della qualità della storia e prendere il coraggio di dirigerla e produrla. Nonostante Tyler sia vissuto a Nashville, Tennessee, le riprese sono state fatte in Georgia, dove ha sede la casa di produzione Sherwood Pictures, come era già accaduto per Fireproof ed ora anche per Courageous.Il film non riesce interamente a evitare i toni patetici che sono inevitabili quando il protagonista è un bambino malato terminale ma a suo favore, proprio perché vi è il sostegno di una storia vera, ci sono altri momenti forti come quando Maddy non riesce più a riconoscersi nelle parole piene di fede della madre e si dispera, non riuscendo più ad accogliere la volontà del Signore di far morire suo figlio.Allo stesso modo il film mette in evidenza come la storia non si sviluppa nella forma del gesto isolato, quasi miracolistico, di un singolo eroe (in questo caso Tyler) ma è frutto la fecondità di una rete di parentele e amicizie solidali: non c'è solo la nonna, ma c'è anche il capo ufficio di Brady che si prende cura del suo reinserimento nel lavoro e c'è infine la piccola Samantha, che riesce sempre a far ridere Tyler, facendogli passare qualche minuto di serenità.Nota di BastaBugie: per guardare il film doppiato in italiano su YouTube vedi qui sotto.
