Today, I watched a movie that renewed my outlook on life. A movie that encouraged me,
inspired ne and made me smile. It’s a movie with several deep subplots connected to the main
story which is about college philosophy professor radisson’s curriculum which starts with the
professor keeping his tradition of bullying his students on the first day of class into believing his
primary profession which is “god is dead.” But this time professor radisson’s proclamation
against god is challenged by his new student josh wheaton who is a Christian and believes god
exists. The writers of this movie dig deep and I found it interesting to know that this movie was
based on a true story.

The film gods not dead is a movie which was directed by Harold crook and was inspired
by the legal cases where university students and campus ministries were condemned for their
faith, is really a great movie. It is about a Christian student named josh wheaton and an aethist
professor names Jeffery Radisson. Josh is a freshman student who will study in a university and
he has a philosophy subject where his professor, which is professor Jeffery Radisson,do not
believe that god is alive. Professor Radisson wants all his students to write in the bond paper
that god is dead or otherwise they will receive the lowest score that they may have during the
semester. All of his classmates followed what the professor said and as a Christian, josh refused
to do what their professor wishes them to do, so his professor challenged him to prove his
antithesis in only three sessions every after their class and he was only given 20 minutes before
the end of every session. If he will fail to convince his classmates after his defense then he will
get a failing grade on that subject regardless of his performance or grades in his philosophy
class.

The film showed different perspectives of people about the existence of a supreme
being. According to josh wheaton, he believes that god is existing and he is responsible of
creating the world while Jeffery Radisson, neglects that there is a living god. Radisson believes
that there is no god only because of his personal experiences and because of his
disappointment about the death of his mother. It was his experience that removed the
existence of god in his heart and in his mind. His sorrowful experience made him change his
faith into hate.

The film tackles about a really sensitive topic that not everyone will or may understand
and may have bad or good reactions about the film, but for me, this film somehow answered
some of my questions in my mind especially during the debatebof josh wheaton and his
professor Jeffery Radisson. Josh is a Christian and professor Radisson is an atheist so obviously
the both of them will have different perspectives. The both of them have good points, but it will
take it. The only bad thing about professor Radisson is that he jumped into the conclusion that
god is dead and forced his students to agree wiith him and did not give them the chance to
choose. He did not respect the belief of his students. But even though professor Radisson have
this attitude and perspective, john still look his challenge with courage. The courage that josh
showed even if almost almost everything and everyone is against him only proves that he is full
of faith.

In the film there was an interviewer named amy. She is always serious about everything
to the point that she almost did not smile in the whole film. She always does surprise interviews
to Christians. When she interviewed really in sorrow and it was like everything was ruined but
when she interviewed the Christian rockers, she admitted that she was interviewing Christians
because she was finding her hope to be put. When she already hoped for Christ, she made a
beautiful smile that is full of happiness and full of hope. Seeing her face which is full of hope
proves that she already saw that true beauty of life.

In the film, reverend dave and his companion have planned to go somewhere for a
vacation. But all the cars that they used did not start. In Christian perspective, they said that
everything happened for reason. And what happened to reverend dave is just a part of gods
plan which is true in the movie because he is where he was really needed. He was needed by
mina when he got a problem in her relationship with Radisson, by josh when professor
Radisson challenged him about the existence of his god, by ayisha when he was about to die
being an atheist and unforgiven from all his sins.
