‘Mully’ Trailer Highlights Humanitarian

July 26, 2017 by Jason Stanley Leave a Comment

Mully is a docudrama based on the life of Dr. Charles M. Mully. Mully will be shown in select theaters nationwide for three consecutive nights, October 3, 4, and 5, via Fathom Events.

Dr. Mully is often referred to as “the father of the world’s largest family.” Having been abandoned at the age of 6 himself, Mully has dedicated the past twenty-seven years, along with his wealth and resources to rescuing abandoned children in the slums of Kenya. His own story of surviving insurmountable odds and becoming one of the most respected humanitarians, is an inspiration to the young children he rescues.

Dr. Mully and his wife Esther formed Mully Children’s Family (MCF) – the world’s largest family – in 1989 to provide for the children whom they rescued.

Here is the trailer:

As the trailer begins, there is darkness. We can assume it is Mully rescuing a child, but it could also easily be a 6-year-old Mully being rescued. The darkness continues, until the trailer introduces the Mully Children’s Family, and the screen becomes much lighter.

The filmmakers are using the tension between dark and light to communicate the difference Mully makes in the lives of over 2,700 children ranging from newborns to 23-year-olds. He who was once fatherless, has become a father to thousands.

Dr. Mully is a light of hope in the darkest of night for so many. “We are one family,” he says in the film. The theme of oneness plays out in Paul’s letter to the Ephesians. For Paul, the coming together of Jews and Gentiles in community symbolizes the power of the gospel. There is unity in the Body of Christ. Dr. Mully’s life has focused on rebuilding lives of thousands of vulnerable children at risk, teenage mothers, victims of gender based violence, and marginalized communities. In this space, we are one, he communicates. In this place, there is unity.

The Magic of Pete’s Dragon

August 12, 2016 by Jason Stanley Leave a Comment

Oakes Fegley is Pete in Disney's PETE'S DRAGON, the story of a boy named Pete and his best friend Elliot, who just happens to be a dragon.
Oakes Fegley is Pete in Disney’s PETE’S DRAGON, the story of a boy named Pete and his best friend Elliot, who just happens to be a dragon.

I think we can agree that the world is a pretty tense place. Zika. American politics. Police shootings. Terrorism. Email hacking. It’s been crazy. And so in the midst of all of this, Disney’s latest live-action film, Pete’s Dragon, offers us a little magic . . . . and hope.

Pete is orphaned after a tragic car accident kills his parents. As he wanders through the woods alone, clinging to his book about a dog named Elliot, he encounters a large beast who protects him. The two immediately form a bond. Pete names the beast – a giant, green dragon – Elliot.

The story picks up six years later. Pete and Elliot roam the woods much like a boy and his dog would. There is compassion between the two. They care deeply for one another.

They are a family.

Petes-Dragon-Movie-Disney-2016

Yet, when Pete spots Grace, the forest ranger, he is curious. He sneaks a compass out of her backpack. When he opens it, he sees a picture inside of young Grace with her mother and father. Pete looks at the picture longingly, as if the memories of his own parents swim to the surface of his mind.

As the logging brothers Jack and Gavin (Jack is in a relationship with Grace) move closer and closer into the woods where the boy and the dragon live, Pete is discovered. This discovery sends all the characters into a whirlwind of an adventure. Gavin and his men aim to capture Elliot and make a profit. Grace is deeply concerned with Pete, and takes him in for a night along with Jack and his daughter, Natalie.

Elliot, alone in the forest, misses Pete. Like a lost puppy, Elliot roams the wilderness and the town to find his missing boy. It is a tearjerker of a scene when Elliot spies Pete sitting the laps of Grace and Jack as they read a book together. Pete has found a family. Elliot has not.

This is a solid family film. It is filled with adventure, laughs (Elliot and the sprinklers is one of my favs), and tearjerkers. There are few, if no, curse words. The film bears no markers of current realities. It is a timeless tale, told in a timeless matter.

Best of all, it reminds us of magic. Grace’s father, Mr. Meacham, tells her, “The magic changed the way I see the world.” He, too, encountered Elliot the dragon many years before Pete. He gave him a renewed sense of innocence.

Or, perhaps, instead of magic, we can think of it has hope. And whether it is Pete and Elliot, Grace and Meacham, Jack and Gavin, or Jack and Natalie, family is where we find our hope. It is in each other. And it is this same hope that allows us to let each other go to discover new worlds and wonders.

Holy Saturday at the Movies

March 30, 2016 by Jason Stanley Leave a Comment

bvs_ww

Since having a child, it has become a rare occasion for my wife and I go to the movies together. On Easter weekend, however, the opportunity for a date night at the movies presented itself. So, Saturday night we went to see Batman v Superman.

In the Christian calendar, it was Holy Saturday, the day that we acknowledge that Jesus laid in the tomb.

I hadn’t read much about the film, and had only seen one or two trailers. I wasn’t sure what to expect but the film was filled with several unexpected twists. One of the most significant – spoiler alert – is when Lex Luther brings Doomsday to earth. For those who know the comic storyline, Superman dies killing Doomsday.

However, for those who attended the film without knowing that piece of the Superman canon, this would have been a surprise. Like the girl watching the film with her mother and older siblings in the theater that I attended. She was about seven or eight and was Team Superman all the way. Whenever Superman appeared on the screen, she cheered for him as if she were cheering on her favorite basketball player.

When you think about it, it’s hard not to cheer for Superman. Amidst all the talk of his crest meaning hope and that the world needs a Savior, we are drawn to what he represents in the midst of a dark world. In fact, it’s this sense of meaning that makes the outcome of Luther’s scheme of pitting god (Superman) against man (Batman) unexpected. As the sword-like hand of Doomsday pierced into Superman, the young girl wailed. I looked over and the girl had buried herself into her mother’s chest, visibly upset at the death of a hero.

Her hero.

Whom she loved.

It was one of those rare moments that reminded me just how sacred film can be. Still, what made this moment more sacred for me was that it happened to be Holy Saturday. It was the day that Christians around the world remember that, after his side had been pierced, Jesus lay dead in a borrowed tomb. The stillness and silence of Saturday creates time to wail at the death of a Savior. It allows us to bury our faces into the chest of our loved ones and weep the loss of a hero.

loisandclark

With the death of a hero, it seemed that all hope was gone. The Savior – whether it be Jesus of our faith or Superman of our films– was gone. And with the absence of hope, there is both a deep sadness and a deep fear that the darkness will take over. Without that hope, there is a sense that everything will fall apart. While this hopelessness is unspoken in Batman v Superman, it is felt by everyone from Martha Kent to Lois Lane to Batman as each grieves in their own way.

As the film ends, Lois Lane drops dirt onto Clark Kent’s wooden casket. Just before the screen fades to black, the dirt starts to rise. An appropriate foreshadowing on the evening of Holy Saturday.

Hope cannot be buried.

First Look: New DuckTales

March 11, 2016 by Jason Stanley 1 Comment

In the late ’80s/early ’90s, the best television show was Disney’s DuckTales, hands down! It is, after all, Emmy Award winning! The new DuckTales will be part of the Disney XD line up and will premiere in 2017.

Marc Buhaj, Senior Vice President, Programming and General Manger, Disney XD, made the announcement:

 “DuckTales has a special place in Disney’s TV animation history, it drew its inspiration from Disney Legend Carl Barks’ comic books and through its storytelling and artistic showmanship, set an enduring standard for animated entertainment that connects with both kids and adults. Our new series will bring that same energy and adventurous spirit to a new generation.”

Of course, the new series will feature the same beloved characters from the original: Scrooge McDuck, the patriarch of the family, the nephews Huey, Dewey, and Louie, the crushable Launchpad McQuack, Donald Duck, Duckworth, Mrs. Beakley, and Webbigail Vanderquack. And there is a high chance that we’ll see Uncle Scrooge go up against the likes of Flintheart Glomgold, Magica DeSpell, and the Beagle Boys.

The animation style for the series seems to be borrowing from the style of the popular Mickey Mouse short series.

No doubt the new generation of DuckTales viewers will appropriate the high-flying adventures of Scrooge and the gang. And perhaps it will spark within them, as the original did for so many of us, a sense of curiosity about the world, that may or may not have resulted in some mischief-making.

Trailer: Star Trek Beyond

December 14, 2015 by Jason Stanley Leave a Comment

The first official look at the new Star Trek film, set to be released this summer, was like a Christmas miracle to Trekkie fans overwhelmed with Star Wars hoopla. A small gift to the fans of the other Star franchise. Here is the trailer for Star Trek: Beyond.

Go ahead, it’s okay, take another look.

Here’s a small attempt to unpack what’s happening in this minute and a half of footage.

What’s Happening to the Enterprise? 

As Kirk (Chris Pine) narrates, “We have no ship. No crew. How are we gonna get out of this one?” we see the Enterprise being attacked. Not only that, it begins to break apart. Something has gone wrong, terribly, terribly wrong. And it appears that the crew is stranded and separated from one another. Some appear to be injured, and other captured.

The crew appears to be just as broken as the Enterprise.

A look at the villain.

We finally get a glimpse at Idris Elba as the villain. He is unrecognizable.

Star Trek Beyond

In the voiceover he says, “This is where it begins, Captain. This is where the frontier pushes back.” We can assume that Elba’s villain is the one capturing the crew (and everyone else in that scene). But why?

A New Alien

Sofia Boutella plays a new alien whose name is not yet known. But based on the trailer, she plays an important role in the story.

Star Trek Beyond New Alien

Where’s Spock?

In one scene, Spock and Dr. McCoy are being surrounded. McCoy says, “Well, at least I won’t die alone.” As soon as he says this, Spock is beamed somewhere else. But where? McCoy’s response is typical McCoy: “Well, that’s just typical.”

Overall, it looks like a film in the same thread as the other two Star Trek films from J. J. Abrams, who is getting a lot of attention right now in light of Star Wars The Force Awakens.  Perhaps the biggest clue to what may be happening in this new film is the soundtrack for the trailer. The whole thing is set to the Beastie Boys’ “Sabotage.”

Murray’s Christmas is Kinda Merry

December 8, 2015 by Jason Stanley Leave a Comment

A Very Murray Christmas

Bill Murray has done what few have been able to do in the last several years. He has put together a likable Christmas special that is not a parody and is not a variety show. Murray, along with his director Sophia Coppola and co-writer Mitch Glazer, write the bad-weather plotted story of Murray’s Christmas special that doesn’t happen.

Murray begins the special lamenting that his live special from New York isn’t going to happen because none of his high profile guests can make it into the city.  “The airports are closed,” he laments. “The trains are closed. The buses and bridges and tunnels are not working. A couple of saloons have closed. The entire city of New York has shut down.” After convincing Chris Rock to sing with him, the power goes out, putting an end to it all.

Murray, along with Paul Shaffer, spends the rest of Christmas Eve in the hotel’s bar. This is where the bulk of the special actually takes place. Because the show was produced for and aired on Netflix, bar language is permitted but not in a way that is vulgar, if that makes sense. And of course, there’s drinking.

And lots of singing.

Murray is like a Dean Martin, emceeing a group of his friends asking them to sing. Some of it is ridiculous, like Murray and Rock singing, “Do You Hear What I Hear?” Or humorous like Murray and George Clooney singing “Santa Claus Wants Some Lovin’.” But much of it is really good. Miley Cyrus sings “Silent Night,” reminding us that she really can sing. Maya Rudolph and Jenny Lewis balance out the ridiculous and humorous with their selections, not to mention Pogues’ “Fairytale of New York.”

There is an air of gloominess throughout the special. Murray opens the show with singing “Christmas Blues” due to the snow storm. There is a bride and groom unable to get married. Rudolph is drinking alone. It’s Christmas Eve and no one seems to be happy. But Murray is not Grumpy Bear. He tries to replace the grumpy with the merry. I’m not convinced that he gets there, but it is only an hour-long special. The important thing is that he tries.

TV Screened: Scandal (5.1)- Hurting on the Inside

September 30, 2015 by Jason Stanley 1 Comment

scandal“Is he hurting you . . . . on the inside?” -Huck to Olivia

Last week the fifth season of Scandal got under way. After a crazy fourth season of going toe-to-toe with Papa Pope, Olivia is settling in nicely between the White House sheets next to President Fitzgerald Grant. Mellie is the new junior senator from Virginia, Cyrus is unemployed, and Huck is lying on Olivia’s couch.

The fix-of-the-episode centers around the tragic death of Princess Emily of the English-speaking country Caledonia after a state dinner at the White House (that Mellie was not invited to).  The whole thing feels a lot like the death of Princess Di. The Queen, the Prince’s mother, even resembles Queen Elizabeth. Olivia is hired to do what she does best: make the problems go away.

As Olivia seeks the truth in the Princess’ death, she discovers that there has been trouble in paradise. The Prince and the Princess have not been spending a lot of time together, which was just enough to spark a relationship between Emily and her bodyguard. Sound familiar?

Prince Richard becomes the number one suspect in Emily’s death. Liv takes it to Fitz, who refuses to do anything about it because he wants a naval base in Caledonia. Liv takes her information to her client, the Queen, where Olivia learns the dark truth of about Emily’s killer.

During the state dinner, Abby and Liv are talking in the restroom about how nice it would be to live the princess’ life, Emily overhears them. She tells them, “To most of the world, I’m not a real person anymore. To them, I’m not human. I’m just a spectacle. I don’t think they’d say half the things they say if they knew they were hurting an actual person.”

And there, friends, we have the sum of the whole story. In the brilliance that is Scandal, this one statement becomes the symbolism for the rest of the episode. The writer of Proverbs says, “Reckless words pierce like a sword,” (12:18a, NIV). The epistle writer James calls for the taming of the tongue (see James 3).

The message is clear. Sticks and stones may break our bones, and so do words! Princess Emily’s killer did not have to kill her in a fake car accident, she had already been pierced a killing stab from the words used against her. These are words used directly to our faces, whispers spoken in the corners of our lives, and degrading phrases about others used only to self-promote.

“Reckless words pierce like a sword.” 

Olivia goes home, perhaps for the first time in months, and Huck is lying on the couch. He opened a window, he reports, suggesting that it was the first time he got off the couch. “Did he hurt you?” is the question Huck asks. He is concerned that Liv has returned to her place because Fitz hurt her. She plays it off, and wonders if Quinn hurt Huck on the inside.

Huck is hurting, no doubt. He is hurting because of what happened between him and Quinn at the end of season four, but mostly because the other Huck – the Huck who likes to torture people – has been released, and he doesn’t know how to put him back.

Others are hurting, too.

Mellie is hurting because Fitz kicked her out of the White House, and has refuses to attend her swearing in ceremony. Cyrus is hurting because he lost his job as Chief of Staff and his best friend, Fitz. Abby is hurting because her only friend, Olivia Pope, has been lying to her. Olivia is hurting because she is not ready to go as far as Fitz is with their relationship.

Olivia:  “I don’t fix people… not on the inside. If I could fix people on the inside I’d be running a bake sale in Ohio right now.”

Huck begs Olivia to fix him. He feels that she is the only one who can. To Huck, Olivia is his savior, the only one who can redeem him from his past actions. Huck is one of the most complex characters on television right now. He is a deadly killer, and also, apparently, a child. The next time Liv comes home, Huck is no longer on the couch. He has gone to Jake’s seeking help.

Mellie, after being served divorce papers by Fitz (who did attend the swearing in after Olivia told him he should), runs to Cyrus to fix her and her situation. She hopes that Cyrus will be able to redeem her for her actions and return things back to the way they were. Cyrus refuses, though, perhaps for the same reason Olivia does. They cannot fix others when they themselves need to be fixed.

These are all people – real people – who are hurting, but have been treated like Princess Emily said, as “just a spectacle.” Which is exactly what Olivia fears will happen to her once she and Fitz go public with their relationship. She will no longer be a person. She will no longer be Olivia Pope.

The writer of Proverbs goes on to say, “but the tongue of the wise brings healing” (Proverbs 12:18b, NIV). With all the wounded people in this episode, its hard to find the voice of the wise. Olivia comes close when he echoes Princess Emily, perhaps the only voice of wisdom.

Olivia:  “I want our business handled. I want our problems fixed. I want to be ready before the world is watching.”

With all the piercing words leaving bloody wounds in the wake, enter former Vice President Sally Langston, who now has her own political talk show. Turns out, Sally has photos of the President and Olivia Pope in the White House. Abby, wounded by Olivia’s actions, walks in on the couple embracing to deliver the bad news. Sally’s missiles of truth are fixed on the White House.

TV Screened: The Muppets (1:1)- It’s Not Easy Being ‘Human’

September 24, 2015 by Jason Stanley 1 Comment

muppets-tv-show-abc-2015-trailer

ABC’s new comedy, The Muppets, premiered this week. The show is a mix of nostalgia, bringing to mind The Muppet Show (1976-1981), and a modern day drama. Using a page out of the writer’s room of Modern Family or Parks and Recreation, The Muppets follows the crew of a late night television show, Up Late with Miss Piggy, in a mockumentary.

Just as in all the other Muppet related television shows and films, the Muppet characters are treated just as human as the humans. In the first episode, Fozzie goes to dinner to meet his human girlfriend’s human family. The Muppets come complete with their own set of human emotions and human drama.

Perhaps too human for some viewers. According to the family values group, One Million Moms, and other evangelical leaders, The Muppets “will cover a range of topics from sex to drugs.” You read between the lines correctly. The group, who is advocating that viewers boycott the show, was doing so without actually watching the show. The predictions about what the show would be like were all based on the marketing they have seen, saying on their website, “It appears that no subject is off limits.”

The group goes so far to suggest that the 8PM half-hour family comedy will cover the issue of abortion: they provide no evidence to this claim.

Executive producer Bob Kushell told TVLine.com, “Jokes can work on two levels.” That’s true in the first episode so there’s no denying that. When presented with a drug reference regarding the band, Kushell says, “That’s a joke where the adults in the audience get to put two and two together,” while the kids watching have “no idea” what Kermit is suggesting.

TV producers and writers are tasked with portraying human realities to a human audience. And as the Muppets have done for decades, they help us see who we are in a clearer sense.

The truth is, it’s not easy being human.

In this realm of the Muppets universe, Kermit and Miss Piggy have broken up. Kermit is the Executive Producer of Miss Piggy’s show. And there is tension between the two on a personal level, only made more complicated by a disagreement over Elizabeth Banks being a guest on the show.

The focus of this first episode is on Kermit as he strives to overcome the breakup with Miss Piggy. He realizes, perhaps forgetting that the mockumentary cameras are following him, “If you take dating out of the equation, she’s a lunatic.”

And we realize that if Kermit wasn’t Kermit, we might conclude that he’s a jerk (read, “human”). But because he is the “it’s-not-easy-being-green” frog we have all learned to love, we know that Kermit is the Muppet most equipped for atonement.

THE MUPPETS - "Pilot" (ABC/Michael Desmond) MISS PIGGY, KERMIT THE FROG

It turns out that Kermit has forgotten the real reason for Miss Piggy’s uncomfortableness with Elizabeth Banks. It has to do with the day they broke up. When Kermit remembers, he cannot believe that he forgot such an important moment in both their lives.

Upon recognizing that he messed up, Kermit apologizes for his part. And the work of reconciliation can be done between the two. It is hard work, to say the least, for Muppet and human alike. But it is work that has been laid out before us by the One who took up his cross for the sake of humanity.

The writer of Ephesians says, “The Messiah has made things up between us so that we’re now together on this, both non-Jewish outsiders and Jewish insiders. He tore down the wall we used to keep each other at a distance . . . . .Christ brought us together through his death on the cross. The Cross got us to embrace, and that was the end of the hostility.” (Ephesians 2:14, 16, the Message).

In other words, through the Cross, Christ reconciled us to one another and to God. Through the Cross, there is no need for us to be separate, to have centuries of animosity between us. The hard work has been done for us, we simply need to remember what we have done, and seek to make it right.

Just another lesson from a frog named Kermit.

TV Screened: Once Upon a Time Season 4 – Putting On Darkness

September 23, 2015 by Jason Stanley Leave a Comment

onceuponatime

As we prepare for the fifth season of Once Upon a Time, the ABC drama that retells beloved fairy tales (or Walt Disney films), we take a look back at season four.

Once Upon a Time has created it’s own framework ever since the first season. Each season has been treated as two mini-seasons, where each half has a focus on a main baddie, some new character that has been introduced. Once the baddie has been destroyed, it prompts, just in time for the mid-season break, a new baddie.

As the fourth season opened, it employed some new, and beloved, Disney characters – Elsa and Anna from Frozen. As Elsa and Emma bond over learning about and controlling their new-found powers, they search for Anna. The second half of the season shifts greatly from the norm. A new story gets written by Isaac (the Author) where the villains are the heroes; and the heroes are the villains.

The whole season is littered with references to darkness and light. The dualism between the two has been at play since season one, yet in this season, it’s ramped up. What’s at stake is knowing who is a villain and who is a hero. It becomes harder and harder to tell the difference. Regina’s cold, evil heart, for example, grows ever warmer.

Henry enters the Heroes and Villains story using the magic key in order rescue his family. He is told by Isaac that Emma is not in this world, because “there was no room for a savior in my world.” Henry learns that to return things back to normal, to the way things were, they must stop Robin Hood’s wedding. The only way to save the people is to change the end of the story.

Henry tries to convince Regina, but she is not a believer yet. She does tell him about the legend of a woman locked away in a tower. It is Emma. When Henry goes to rescue Emma from the tower, she remembers him. She remembers everything because she is the savior. She is the one who carries hope like a candle in the wind. The villains (who were once heroes) attempt to snuff the light of hope out. They were not able to stop the wedding, and it seems that all hope is lost. But hope resides in the Savior. And hope is contagious.

As Rumble battles Regina and Emma to stop them from ending the wedding, Rumble is about to kill Henry. Just in time, Regina chooses not to interrupt the wedding, but to save Henry’s life. Emma punches Isaac for creating this mess, and Henry grabs the pen that falls out of Isaac’s man-bag. Using Regina’s blood as ink, Henry (who becomes the new Author) rewrites the ending of the story, returning everyone back to Storybrooke and the way things were.

But the excitement is not over. The darkness is killing Rumble. They pull the darkness out of him and contain it in the Sorcerer’s hat. However, the hat is not able to contain the darkness. The Sorcerer tethered the darkness to a human soul to be controlled. The one who can destroy the darkness is Merlin, but he is far, far away.

Once Upon A Time Season Five premieres on ABC at 8 p.m. on Sunday, September 27.
