Looking for the next great faith based film to enjoy? THE CARPENTER is a powerful tale of transformation and redemption, out in theaters today. Set in biblical times this film showcases a life-changing journey of becoming a carpenter’s apprentice to none other than Jesus Christ. Through the timeless skills of carpentry, a path of compassion and redemption is found. Take a look:
About the Movie: An adopted Viking orphan becomes a carpenter’s apprentice to Jesus. The orphan, Oren, fights as a side hustle. His experience training as a carpenter with Jesus as his mentor changes his lifestyle.
When I try to come up with a simple way to explain this movie, my first thought immediately was--- Rocky meets The Chosen.
Admittedly, that sounds like an odd mashup- one that probably shouldn't work... and certainly not something that would typically catch my eye. And yet, this one surprised me in so many ways. Listen, if you are looking for a direct from the Bible story and don't care for creative license taken on the life Jesus lived beyond the pieces that are directly told in the Bible... well, this one is probably not going to be for you. I certainly don't recall any stories about champion fighters befriending Jesus in any Bible story I've ever read. Instead, this is a unique story of a champion fighter whose life is impacted when he is befriended by a benevolent Carpenter from Nazareth and a touching account of how Jesus can change us into the best we can be. It's not one to be watched for historical accuracy, but rather one to be watched for entertainment--- while still pointing to Jesus. It was unique and fun and one that I really found myself enjoying more than I ever would have imagined!
While this is a faith-based film, it is important to note that this is rated PG-13 for violence, and as such may not be an ideal choice for younger audiences. I would say again this would be very comparable to Rocky in that regard--- there's fighting so there's blood and injuries, yes... but nothing overly graphic so it would probably be fine for most older kids and teenagers.
