Plot: Jesus Christ returns to earth in modern New York determined to bring to pass the Sacred Prophecies by which he is destined to lead humanity 2000 years of uninterrupted peace. Little accustomed to modern culture the Savior will choose to move the conscience of dissolute youth and value-free while wearing the silver shoes of UltraChrist, the modern Messiah!
sinners tremble, a new superhero is now among the skyscrapers of the Big Apple ...
Opinion Club: Outside of "Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter" and a few others, of engaging film that I did not address religious issues in a manner so blatant parody. And this is a real shame, given the MarcioCapolavoro this film turned out. Why "UltraChrist!" is a damn funny movie, and has managed to stir the spirit of the Club as anticlerical did not happen for a long time without end, inter alia, in the most annoying cliches. Well, the very idea of \u200b\u200bJesus in a new suit is tight enough to assign the right of first three stars of rot ... The other two came at the end in the middle of a deserved ovation of applause.
The central argument of the film - The inadequacy of the Catholic message in front of the passage of time and the need to find new communication strategies - is the only thing you can actually think, and it must be said that the message can filter despite the gag and the pseudo-fighting that run the film without too much downtime. Because in fact in the modern world also needs to modernize a Messiah ... And what better embodiment can be for the values \u200b\u200bof freedom and euguaglianza the figure of a superhero?
Certo, non ci aspettavamo Superman, ma l'alternativa è stata sufficientemente irriverente da giustificare la relativa pochezza di effetti speciali con cui il Nostro è stato dotato.
I tempi azzeccati ed una recitazione sorprendentemente piacevole sono - dopo l'irriverenza della tematica affrontata - i punti di forza di questo cult: abituati ai terribili "2/2" quasi non ci siamo accorti della pochezza del budget impiegato trovandoci davanti ad un Jesus espressivo, convincente ed "umano". Bravissimo Johnatan C. Green nel riuscire a reggere una parte tanto centrale senza cadute di stile, e complimenti anche alla stragrande maggioranza del resto del cast, a partire dalla sarta umile e dimessa ed alle LesboAmiche its two bearers of romance.
The bad guys deserve a separate discussion: the devil (personified in the operator of The sinister nature parks) can not stand idly by while UltraChrist makes good and bad time in his New York (there you set the film, or so they say ...) and it evokes its pieces: great was our surprise to encounter a highly respected quartet, composed of Dracula, Hitler, Nixon ... and Jim Morrison! Model only vaguely similar (except that of Nixon, but the Americans are likely to know these things) and perfect counterparts to the superhero dispenser of good intentions, which do not deal with i consueti colpi di kung-fu... Ma opponendo loro la virtù opposta al loro peccato caratterizzante! La cosa, nel caso di Nixon, ha raggiunto livelli di demenzialità epici allo scoprire che l'unico essere di cui l'ex Presidente si fidava... Era il suo adorabile cagnolino di pezza! Qualcuno si è anche commosso.
Il finale - come da aspettative - non si è rivelato "A merda", e tuttavia ci ha regalato un momento di pura estasi nel vedere Jesus (finalmente in TV) imbracciare una chitarra e declamare per mezzo di una canzone Country... Che la parola di Dio è amore, e che di conseguenza è nella romanza che si trova quest'ultima! Il Club è esploso, primo tra tutti il President who is the President. We did not find that to refute this thesis, that has enshrined in law the five - wonderful - stars marches emphasizing the extreme popularity of States in respect of a film like few other hardy.
Given the minimal cost of production (the three stars of the film quality we were still generous) it is surprising that "UltraChrist!" shows watchable, even more is that the level of several steps above other productions with budgets much more conspicuous.
