0:03
all right Allan Tell me about the movie
0:05
The Carpenter all right the carpenter is
0:07
in theaters now it's a faith-based movie
0:09
uh we'll get through this really quick
0:11
but you know when you think that they've
0:13
covered everything about faith-based
0:15
movies and the in the time of Jesus uh
0:17
you're wrong because this movie combines
0:21
the story of Jesus and MMA fighting are
0:26
you joking no I'm not joking oh my God
0:29
so uh the main character here is his
0:31
name is Orin uh him and his brother Levi
0:33
they were uh adopted by a a couple who
0:37
Liv in uh who live in kaaa and uh by day
0:42
uh the father is a very proud man he
0:44
loves the life he lives uh his two
0:47
children um but unbeknownst to him his
0:50
two children are off in the middle of
0:52
nowhere engaged in MMA fighting and so
0:55
the opening scenes are of the father uh
0:58
fixing the house and the the boys uh in
1:02
a ring fighting uh for money of course
1:05
and uh while during the fight the father
1:07
falls off the roof of the house and as
1:10
the two return uh they um they see their
1:14
father dying and his last wish is that
1:17
uh the boys would take their mother back
1:20
to Nazareth Nazareth where uh where she
1:23
came from to to be with her family
1:26
fortunately for Orin uh there is a fight
1:29
pit in Nazareth that is very popular and
1:33
that he would fit right in and um and so
1:37
he goes there and uh so Orin has to kind
1:39
of uh get the lay of the land and be
1:41
part of it and he's somewhat of an
1:43
outsider since he's not really uh for
1:45
from the he's not really Jewish um so he
1:48
hooks up with his uncle who happens to
1:50
run the fight pit and uh and while
1:54
they're they're fighting you got the
1:56
Romans uh involved and um and then
2:00
there's the ju Jerusalem Invitational
2:03
that's going to be coming down the road
2:05
and if if Orin can prove himself to be
2:07
the best fighter of Nazareth he can
2:09
compete for the for the N at the
2:12
Jerusalem Invitational that sounds silly
2:14
to you right now but uh here's the good
2:16
here's the good part of the movie uh
2:18
living in Nazareth is this Carpenter
2:20
named Yeshua and um one day uh one day
2:25
the Romans start chasing him uh or
2:27
around because he damaged something at a
2:30
uh he has a black eye uh Orin runs to
2:34
the stranger's yard and hides in in his
2:37
bushes uh the Romans come by say are you
2:40
looking for this man and Yeshua says uh
2:43
I I know this man you speak of what has
2:45
happened he damaged some stuff and the
2:47
man pays Yeshua pays for the debt and uh
2:51
and then brings Orin into the house
2:52
Yeshua then heals Orin of his black eye
2:57
and the two begin a mentorship
3:00
where uh where where he has to kind of
3:03
make decisions about his life and his
3:05
future life uh there's a girl
3:08
in uh you know he he may not want to be
3:10
a fighter for the rest of his life um
3:13
and the Yeshua takes Orin in as his
3:16
Apprentice uh and teaches them the way
3:18
of carpentry um so Le let's let's get
3:23
down to bras tags here
3:25
um this is a faith-based movie uh it's
3:28
right pretty much fall in line with it
3:30
the stakes are fairly low it's not like
3:33
uh he owes a lot of money and has to
3:35
fight to pay off his debt no it's about
3:38
fighting it's about uh learning strategy
3:40
things like that life lessons from the
3:42
from the MMA ring and at the same time
3:44
you have Yeshua who let's let's be real
3:46
it's Jesus and he teaches him wisdom of
3:50
life and and honestly these moments
3:52
between him and Jesus are actually
3:53
pretty good um you know he asked
3:56
questions of uh you know why does God
3:58
allow evil in the world uh you know what
4:01
you know why is family so important so
4:04
this is this is one of those movies that
4:06
I would say has a specific Niche uh I
4:09
think fathers manly men have been left
4:12
out of faith-based movies for a long
4:13
time and I think this is the attempt to
4:16
bring manly men into faith-based films
4:19
uh fighting is okay uh there's a lot of
4:22
it it's nothing there's no blood uh but
4:25
you do there's a lot of choreography
4:27
going on I I give this movie a bare
4:29
recommendation if you're into Faith
4:31
films um you know it's it's more
4:34
interesting I appreciate it but let's be
4:36
real I've studied the Bible for decades
4:39
and uh a I don't remember MMA ever being
4:42
a part of it um also should say that
4:44
this takes place two years before the
4:46
ministry of Jesus begins and so that's
4:48
kind of the setting of of this
4:52
recommendation yeah I don't I mean I
4:54
think it's very unique to combine like
4:57
the uh what would be a MMA movie and
5:00
they're MMA films with faith-based so
5:03
that's kind of crazy but um yeah all
5:09
probably oh I'm just say that the body
5:11
hits the floor that that's played in the
5:14
in one of the fight scenes well based on
5:17
your bare recommendation I'll probably
5:19
pass on it but I'm glad a film like this
