R. White, Russell Wolfe, Michael Scott, Elizabeth Travis Story by: Timothy Ratajczak Screenplay by: Timothy Ratajczak, Gabriel Sabloff Cinematography/Camera: Todd Barron Music: William Musser Film Editing: Vance null, Gabriel Sabloff Casting: Billy Damota Production Design: Bradd Wesley Fillmann Viewed on Pure|Flix Entertainment DVD The involvement of Apostle Simon Peter (young - Ryan Alosio, elderly - Robert Loggia) in the life of Jesus is relived in stunning detail. The story begins in AD 67 as Peter is imprisoned in the Mamertine prison where two jailers, Martinian (Laurence Fuller) and Processus (David Kallaway) take custody of the "famous Christian" and begin to experience the power of the Gospel to change the hearts of the most hardened soldier. From the Great Commission to the Last Supper and the Garden of Gethsemane, from being a simple fisherman to being the Rock of the Church [Matt. 16;18], Peter tells Martinian of the life of Jesus (Bruce Marchiano). Martinian claims he wants to know of Jesus because his wife is curious about Christianity when the true curiosity was his own: that he had used his wife as an excuse to learn of Jesus for himself. Though Martinian risks much by fraternizing with the Christian prisoner and though Peter is condemned to death in three days, Marintian pressures Peter to tell him of Jesus and His Message. Through the power of the Gospel, elderly Peter makes an eternal impression on the two jailers who had been executing people for believing in that which has now changed them. After all the films I've seen about the Gospel and the life of Jesus I found myself still moved by hearing things such as "in remembrance of Me" because of what that means to the then near future of Jesus. Apostle Peter and the Last Supper, recommended for 12 and up by the Dove Foundation, earned a CAP final score of 91 which is well within the scoring range earned by G-rated films (100 to 87 out of 100) in the comparative baseline database. But due to some strong material such as a demon of Satan appearing repeatedly, imprisonment due to faith in Jesus and belief in false gods the film earned the yellow CAPCon alert light in the upper left corner of this page. Following are brief discussions of the content per individual content investigation area. As always the Findings section of this report, the heart of the CAP Analysis Model, is the best source for discovering the full accounting of the content of this film. Wanton Violence/Crime (W) - 92 out of 100 Matters of violence were few but were present: sword attack with light blood when Peter cut off Malchus' right ear [John 18:10]; physical assault. Impudence/Hate (I) - 89 out of 100 Matinian and Processus exchanged extortion threats to prevent being reported to the Command. Two lies were heard. Sexual Immorality (S) - 100 out of 100 Nothing whatsoever was found even related to sexually immoral behavior or imagery. Drugs/Alcohol (D) - 89 out of 100 While wine was all the people of the day had to drink that was not putrid, it is still an alcoholic beverage. And the Captain of the Guard was seen as drunk. Offense to God (O) - 81 out of 100 Peter was imprisoned due to his belief in Jesus as Lord and nothing else. Martinian and Processus spoke a number of times of embracing false gods. A demon from Satan was portrayed repeatedly to torment Peter. Murder/Suicide (M) - 92 out of 100 Judas hung himself. SCRIPTURAL APPLICATION(S) If needed to focus or fortify, applicable text is underlined or bracketed [ ] or bold. If you wish to have full context available, the Blue Letter Bible is a convenient source. If you use the Blue Letter Bible, a new window will open.

CHAPTER/VERSE As always, it is best to refer to the Findings/Scoring section -- the heart of the CAP analysis model -- for the most complete assessment possible of this movie. |

| There are some in the entertainment industry who maintain that 1) violent programming is harmless because no studies exist that prove a connection between violent entertainment and aggressive behavior in children, and 2) young people know that television, movies, and video games are simply fantasy. Unfortunately, they are wrong on both accounts." And "Viewing violence may lead to real life violence." I applaud these associations for fortifying 1 Cor. 15:33. Read the rest of the story. From our years of study, I contend that other aberrant behaviors, attitudes, and expressions can be inserted in place of "violence" in that statement. Our Director - Child Psychology Support, a licensed psychologist and certified school psychologist concurs. For example, "Viewing arrogance against fair authority may lead to your kids defying you in real life." Or "Viewing sex may lead to sex in real life." Likewise and especially with impudence, hate and foul language. I further contend that any positive behavior can be inserted in place of "violence" with the same chance or likelihood of being a behavior template for the observer; of being incorporated into the behavior mechanics and/or coping skills of the observer. In choosing your entertainment, please consider carefully the "rest of the story" and our findings. |
