The Passion of the Christ
When it was released in 2004, "The Passion of the Christ" was a box office blockbuster. Directed by Mel Gibson, it faithfully depicts the last 12 hours of Jesus' life - some moments being very strong, in turn making some viewers leave the movie theaters halfway through. With its high budget and attention to detail, "The Passion of the Christ" is, without a doubt, one of the best biblical adaptations available to stream.
Braveheart
An epic directed and starred by Mel Gibson, 'Braveheart' is a movie about faith and how it also exudes love. In the plot, we follow the story of a Scottish hero called William Wallace, who leads his warriors against the English monarch Edward I, after losing his bride because of English soldiers. Gibson does a good job in all the roles he occupies in this feature film. Winner of 5 Oscars - Best Film, Director, Photography, Makeup and Visual Effects - it is impossible not to say that we are talking about a great movie, which has fans all over the world. Undoubtedly, you know someone in the family who is passionate about this film. It is a powerful production, with breathtaking scenes, which carry in a very beautiful way the essence of freedom.
Drama
Kidnapped
In Kidnapped (Rapito), Italian filmmaker Marco Bellocchio delves into one of the murkiest and most controversial episodes in the history of the Catholic Church, the "Mortara case". In 1851, when Jewish boy Edgardo Mortara becomes gravely ill, his Catholic nanny decides to baptize him in an emergency. However, papal law dictates that all Catholics must be raised as such, so the cardinal orders the boy to be taken and handed over to the church, against his parents' wishes, who decide to fight for him. The film recounts a controversial case that captured the attention of the rest of Europe and America, and skillfully portrays the clash of interests between the waning power of the church, Mortara's parents, and public opinion, with irreversible consequences for all involved.
Green Border
'Green Border' - In the treacherous and swampy forests that make up the so called “green border” between Belarus and Poland, refugees from the Middle East and Africa trying to reach the European Union are trapped in a geopolitical crisis cynically engineered by Belarusian dictator Alexander Lukashenko. In an attempt to provoke Europe, refugees are lured to the border by propaganda promising easy passage to the EU. Pawns in this hidden war, the lives of Julia, a newly minted activist who has given up her comfortable life, Jan, a young border guard, and a Syrian family intertwine.
Astral City 2: The Messengers
A group of messenger spirits led by Aniceto, including doctor André Luiz, are tasked with going to Earth to help rescue three proteges whose interconnected stories are about to fail.
