The Christmas Candle (2013)

I watched this movie over the holidays and I really liked it. Virtually free from the communist jewish agenda, not 100% but pretty close. It's a fantastic story and I really enjoyed it.

It's based on the book by Max Lucado, a famous Christian author. So that's partly why it is virtually free from agenda. Even so, it doesn't feel like a low-budget film at all, the acting is fantastic and so is the story. It probably had a decent budget because Max Lucado was able to fund it since he's a bestselling author.

The movie has some faith-based themes, but it's really not like one of those bible movies, which I also like, it's more of a fiction novel with Christian undertones. I liked that it had a lot of depth, and was not at all shallow or superficial.

My rating: PG for feminist themes (often portrays men as evil, aloof, deviant, pathetic, and weak; empowered women) and esoteric undertones (angelic enchantment & enchanted objects, which is paganism). Otherwise, rather clean. Pretty good for a movie made in this century. Would be unacceptable in a purer society, but there's not much to choose from in this one.
