傳承巔峰 Legacy Peak (2022)

导演: 亚伦·伯恩斯
编剧: 亚伦·伯恩斯
主演: 卢卡斯·布莱克 / Kyleigh Bakker / Roman Engel
类型: 冒险
制片国家/地区: 美国
语言: 英语
上映日期: 2022-09-22(美国)
又名:天倫奇蹟 / 留世酒庄
IMDb: tt21104674

LEGACY PEAK is an adventure movie. FAST & FURIOUS actor Lucas Black plays Jason, who wants to bond with his girlfriend’s two children before he proposes on Christmas Eve. He plans to fly the children, Ben and his older sister Sam, to their grandparents while his girlfriend finishes up work before the holidays. However, after going off-course, a flock of birds hits the plane, and Jason, Ben and Sam are stranded in the wild. Will they be able to band together and survive? Or will the emotional tensions, packs of wolves, and extreme weather get the better of them?

At last Jason said: There’s a story in the Bible. The sky opens up and in a voice from heaven, God, the Father says, “This is my Son, my beloved Son.” This was before Jesus did anything. He hasn’t healed anyone. No miracles. Hadn’t died for anyone’s sins. And God said, “I love Him because of who He is, not because of what He’s done.” Yes, we are loved by him not because we did something good, but because we are God’s children, that means a lot to us, thank you God for you great love and mercy.

影片講述Jason為贏得未婚妻兩個孩子的心,決定在聖誕節前帶他們做自己的飛機去外公小屋玩,但途中遇到意外緊急降落,展開了真正的冒險旅程。在尋找回家的路上,他們的生存技能受到考驗,亦從而發現了無條件的愛和家庭的真正定義。
最後Jason說到:《聖經》裡有個故事,天空打開來,天上傳來聲音,天父說:“這是我兒子,我喜愛的兒子”,這是耶穌還沒行神蹟之前,他還沒療癒任何人,沒行任何神蹟,還沒替任何人的罪而死,上帝說:“我愛他,因為他這個人,並非因為他的行為”。這讓我們的靈非常感動,我們活著、被救贖,不是因為我們做了什麼好事,而是因為我們是神的孩子,父親喜愛自己的孩子所以願意讓自己的獨生愛子耶穌基督贖我們的罪,以至於我們不用在地獄受苦,而是和天父一起享受美好和永恆的生命,感謝天父無條件的愛愛我們。

因為網上用的影片中文名和英文一點都不搭邊,留世酒庄(這個翻譯也是醉了),所以我們起了這個名字“傳承巔峰”,因為影片中一把摺疊刀是牧師留給Jason的,Jason後來給了Ben, 這把刀上刻了Beloved, 記載在馬太福音3:17,“從天上有聲音說:這是我的愛子,我所喜悅的。”導演希望通過這部影片讓我們明白並把福音的真諦耶穌基督(道路、真理、生命)傳給世界上每個人,讓世世代代可以得著這永恆的生命,這也是我們人生的最高峰,認識耶穌基督就是救贖主,只有通過耶穌基督我們才能到天父那裡去,這,就是導演想要透過影片告訴我們的。

Documentary: Discovering Who Is This Jesus?

Two thousand years ago a man who changed the course of history was born. He was a carpenter. As an adult he never traveled more than 60 miles. He was betrayed by one of his 12 followers and executed for crimes he did not commit. Today in an age of skepticism and materialism there are millions of people from all walks of life who believe in him and who claim he has radically changed their lives. But who is this Jesus? Archaeologist, author, and historian Chris Sinkinson seeks to answer the question in a down-to-earth, no-nonsense style, specifically designed to help people with no previous knowledge of Jesus to have a better understanding of who he is.

作者,明星,和守護者 The Author, The Star, and The Keeper (2020)

Producer: Mark Erdmann, Elizabeth M. Zambo, Jessica M. Zambo, Steven F. Zambo
Director: Steven F. Zambo

Cast: Bruce Marchiano, Simon Jon Provan, David Ruprecht, Heather Ricks, Dale Waddington, Ken T. Williams, Christian Gill, Diane Richardson, Rick Richter, Tyler Johnson

Distributed by: Green Apple Entertainment / Atonement Pictures

From the beginning of time, The Author (Bruce Marchiano), has written a prodigal son story for an estranged son The Star (Simon Jon Provan), who returns to his childhood town to rekindle his relationship with his ailing father The Keeper (David Ruprecht).

August Star “Augie” (Simon Jon Provan) fittingly is living out his dream as a theatrical “star,” playing the lead role in a stage production. When his manager, Rhonda (Dale Waddington), pressures him to leave the show to pursue screen acting, Augie realizes he needs to take a break.

After learning about an opportunity to deliver a specialty car to Las Vegas, Augie jumps at the chance to take a road trip. On his way to Vegas he decides to take a detour to visit his childhood town. During his hometown visit, Augie tries to reconnect with his dad, nicknamed Keeper (David Rupprecht). He used to be the lighthouse keeper but suffers from memory loss and now lives at the local assisted living center.

The crux of this film is Augie’s and Keeper’s strained relationship due to Augie’s absence and Keeper’s lapse of memory. As Augie fights to make up for lost time with his dad, he discovers a family secret that changes his outlook. The Author, The Star & The Keeper chronicles Augie’s experience of renewing his relationship with both his father and the Heavenly Father. Various characters are interwoven throughout this movie that both help and hinder Augie’s journey along the way. The film’s underlining theme of allowing God’s light to shine throughout your life merits our Dove-Approved Seal for All Ages.

講述燈塔守護者的孩子如何從繁忙的演出工作中回到父親身邊,找到家人和天父,回到真光當中,並且把這光一代一代傳下去。每個人都是一本書,天父都在看,我們如何繼續在現今的生活中譜寫未來,在乎我們現在的決定,跟隨天父的真光直到見父的那一天。

從一開始,作者(布魯斯·馬奇亞諾飾)就為疏遠的兒子明星(西蒙·喬恩·普羅文飾)寫了一個浪子的故事,明星回到了他童年的小鎮,與生病的父親守護者(大衛·魯普雷希特飾)重新建立關係)。

奧古斯特之星“奧吉”(西蒙·喬恩·普羅文飾)恰如其分地實現了他作為戲劇“明星”的夢想,在一部舞台劇中扮演主角。當經紀人朗達 (Dale Waddington 飾) 強迫他離開該節目去從事銀幕表演時,奧吉意識到他需要休息一段時間。

在了解到有機會將一輛特種汽車運送到拉斯維加斯後,奧吉抓住機會進行了一次公路旅行。在前往拉斯維加斯的途中,他決定繞道參觀他童年居住的小鎮。在回家鄉期間,奧吉試圖與綽號「守護者」的父親(大衛·魯普雷希特飾)重新建立聯繫。他曾經是燈塔守護人,但患有記憶喪失症,現在住在當地的養老院。

這部電影的關鍵是由於 Augie 的缺席和 Keeper 的記憶喪失而導致 Augie 和 Keeper 之間緊張的關係。當奧吉努力彌補與父親失去的時光時,他發現了一個改變了他觀點的家庭秘密。 《作者、星星和守護者》記述了奧吉與父親和天父重建關係的經歷。電影中交織著各種各樣的人物,他們既幫助了奧吉,也阻礙了奧吉的旅程。這部電影的主題是讓上帝的光芒照亮你的一生,值得我們授予「Dove 認可的適合所有年齡段觀眾觀看的電影」稱號。

禱告盒 The Prayer Box (2018)

Director: Kevan Otto

Writer: Trisha Mammen

With his sister suffering from terminal cancer, a young boy takes it upon himself to get God’s attention by answering the prayers of members of his church in hopes that God will heal his sister.

The Prayer Box is a beautifully tragic story about what happens when God doesn’t intervene the way people want him to. Following the story of a young boy who sets off on a mission to get God’s attention in hopes that God will heal his sister from terminal cancer, the young boy begins answering the prayers left by church members in the pastor’s prayer box after the pastor throws them away, jaded by his own suffering. It tackles the heavy issues of unanswered prayer and if God even hears/answers prayer with a message that is heartbreaking in its raw portrayal of human pain and suffering in this world. Not a conventional inspirational faith film, this film is undeniably powerful in the fact that it challenges preconceived notions of whitewashed happy-go-lucky faith. This film does not hide the fact that life is full of pain, suffering, loss, and betrayal, yet it somehow manages to take these themes and find God in the midst of it all. There is a childlike innocence and naivety to the young boy who finds a confidant in an elderly man who takes him under wing, providing both mentorship and comic relief amid the pain the young boy faces with his dying sister and his mother who has distanced herself from the rest of the world. The most interesting character, however, is that of the Pastor who shocks the audience with his dumping of the prayer requests into the trashcan. Initially painted as a hypocritical and unfeeling spiritual leader to a group of blind followers, his character evolves into one of particular interest as it is revealed how he became so jaded at his calling, and how the young boy’s faith brings a personal revival to the Pastor’s life and his congregation as a whole. This is a phenomenally complex, challenging, and thought-provoking film, powerfully presented with an expertly delicate hand.

由於他的妹妹患有晚期癌症,一個小男孩決定透過回應教會成員的祈禱來引起上帝的關注,希望上帝能夠治愈他的妹妹。

《祈禱盒》是一個美麗而又悲劇的故事,講述了當上帝沒有按照人們希望的方式進行幹預時會發生什麼。故事講述一個小男孩為了引起上帝的注意,希望上帝能治愈他身患癌症的妹妹,在牧師把祈禱箱扔出去後,這個小男孩開始回應教會成員在牧師的祈禱箱裡留下的祈禱。他對自己所遭受的苦難感到厭倦。它解決了沒有回應的祈禱這一沉重的問題,以及上帝是否聽到/回應了祈禱,其信息令人心碎,真實地描繪了人類在世上的痛苦和苦難。這不是一部傳統的勵志信仰電影,這部電影無疑具有強大的力量,因為它挑戰了人們對粉飾的無憂無慮的信仰的先入為主的觀念。這部電影並沒有掩蓋生活充滿痛苦、苦難、失落和背叛的事實,但它成功地詮釋了這些主題,並在其中找到了上帝。小男孩身上有一種孩子般的天真和幼稚,他在一位老人身上找到了知己,老人照顧著他,在小男孩面臨妹妹垂死和母親疏遠的痛苦時,老人給予他指導和喜劇效果。地區。然而,最有趣的角色是牧師,他將祈禱請求扔進垃圾桶,令觀眾震驚。最初,他被描繪成一個虛偽、冷酷的精神領袖,面對一群盲目的追隨者,他的角色逐漸演變成一個特別有趣的角色,因為他揭示了自己是如何對自己的職業變得如此厭倦,以及這個年輕男孩的信仰如何為牧師的生活帶來個人復興。這是一部極其複雜、富有挑戰性且發人深省的電影,以專業細膩的手法強有力地呈現。

In the style of ‘Heaven Can Wait’ and ‘Oh, God!’ this uplifting, fanciful comedy follows Joe’s (Edward James Almos) incredible journey from relative obscurity to competing in ‘The US Open Golf tournament ‘ under the direction of Herb, his everpresent ‘Angel’ and motorcyclist (George Lopez), proving that anything is possible!

Sixty-five-year-old Joe Amable-Amo thinks nothing much in his background distinguishes him from other guys his age. He is struggling with his faith after tragedy hits. As the former amateur golfer’s life continues to unfold, Joe is besieged with his marriage, working as a bank executive, and gearing up for retirement. But as he is about to discover, life has a way of throwing a curveball that changes everything. Joe is working at his desk when he receives a message from God on his computer screen that tells him he has been chosen to deliver an inspirational message to the world that the seemingly impossible is possible. God tells Joe he is going to play in World Entire golf championship, and if his faith is strong enough, he will win. As Joe embarks on a spiritual journey along with God’s personal messenger and motorcyclist, Herb, Joe learns to make a difference, he must learn to face his fears, have confidence in his abilities, and commit to God before he can succeed.

Sixty-five-year-old Joe Amable-Amo is struggling with his faith as his three-year-old granddaughter and her father have just died. The former amateur golf champion is besieged by the malaise of encroaching older age, working as a bank executive, gearing up for retirement, deep concern for his wife’s unanswered needs, his humanitarian daughter’s survival, and a potentially lethal loss of faith. But, at his nadir, in his office one afternoon, a voice speaks to him via his computer monitor. What does a syncopated voice–claiming to be God Almighty–have in mind for Joe? This ostensible God has chosen Joe to deliver a message to the world; it’s this: The seemingly impossible is possible. The God voice tells Joe he is going to play in the World Entire golf championship, and if he can renew his faith powerfully enough, he will win. Well, first and foremost, God wants Joe to meet his guide, his Virgil. Except his Virgil is an incredibly quirky man named Herb. And he’s a museum of tattoos and he drives a motorcycle and he makes golf clubs and promises Joe that he will help him regain the ability of his youth. If Joe will trust, not Herb, not God, but himself. And so, Joe and Herb set out on a journey of contention, of doubt, of setbacks that through Joe’s burgeoning faith in himself and the earthy wisdom of Herb turns his world upside down and then, in an act of outrageous selflessness, of stupefying generosity that turns his–and our–world very much right side up. When Herb roars away in the last minute of our journey, he leaves standing like a fortress of love and faith the family Amable-Amo–Joe, Sheila, their daughter Audrey, and by extension, everyone they touch.

六十五岁的乔Amable-Amo认为没什么其他人在他的背景使他有别于他的年龄。他是在悲剧打击后他的信仰。随着前业余高尔夫球手的生活继续展开,乔包围着他的婚姻,作为银行高管工作,准备退休。但当他发现,生活的一种方式把一个弧线球,改变了一切。乔是在办公桌前工作当他收到消息从神来的他的电脑屏幕上,告诉他他已经选择向世界传递一个鼓舞人心的消息,看似不可能是可能的。上帝告诉乔他将在整个世界高尔夫锦标赛,如果他的信仰是足够强大,他会赢。乔承载了一种精神之旅与上帝的个人信使和骑摩托车的人,赫伯,乔学会发挥作用,他必须学会面对自己的恐惧,对他的能力有信心,致力于上帝才能成功。

這部振奮人心、充滿幻想的喜劇以“天堂可以等待”和“哦,天哪!”的風格講述了喬(愛德華·詹姆斯·阿爾莫斯飾)從默默無聞到在赫伯的指導下參加“美國高爾夫公開賽」的不可思議的旅程。無處不在的“天使”和摩托車手(喬治·洛佩茲),證明一切皆有可能!

65 歲的喬·阿馬布爾-阿莫 (Joe Amable-Amo) 認為,他的背景與同齡人並沒有什麼區別。悲劇發生後,他的信仰開始遭受打擊。隨著這位前業餘高爾夫球手的生活不斷展開,喬被婚姻、銀行高管工作和退休準備所困擾。但正如他即將發現的,生活總會出其不意地改變一切。喬正在辦公桌前工作,突然他在電腦螢幕上收到了上帝發出的信息,告訴他被選中向世界傳遞一個鼓舞人心的信息:看似不可能的事情是可能的。上帝告訴喬,他將參加世界高爾夫錦標賽,如果他的信念足夠強,他就會獲勝。當喬與上帝的私人信使兼摩托車手赫伯一起踏上精神之旅時,喬學會了要有所作為,他必須學會面對恐懼,對自己的能力充滿信心,並對上帝作出承諾,然後才能成功。

65 歲的喬·阿馬布爾·阿莫 (Joe Amable-Amo) 正在為信仰而掙扎,因為他三歲的孫女和她的父親剛剛去世。這位前業餘高爾夫冠軍正被年齡增長的困擾,作為一名銀行高管,準備退休,對妻子未得到滿足的需求深感擔憂,他人道主義女兒的生存,以及可能致命的信仰喪失。但是,在他人生最低谷的時候,有一天下午,他在辦公室裡聽到一個聲音透過電腦顯示器對他說話。一個自稱是全能上帝的切分音聲音對喬有什麼想法?這個表面上的上帝選擇了喬來向世界傳遞訊息;就是:看似不可能的事情是可能的。上帝的聲音告訴喬,他將參加世界高爾夫錦標賽,如果他能堅定足夠強大的信念,他就會獲勝。嗯,首先,上帝希望喬能遇見他的嚮導,他的維吉爾。但他的維吉爾卻是個非常古怪的男人,名叫赫伯。他是一個紋身博物館的館長,他開摩托車,他製作高爾夫球桿,他向喬承諾,他會幫助他恢復年輕時的能力。如果喬願意相信的話,不是赫伯,不是上帝,而是他自己。於是,喬和赫伯開始了一段充滿爭論、懷疑和挫折的旅程,喬對自己日益增長的信心和赫伯的樸實智慧顛覆了他的世界,然後,以驚人的無私和令人震驚的慷慨行事這使得他的世界以及我們的世界變得完全正確。當赫伯在旅程的最後一分鐘呼嘯而去時,他留下的阿瑪布爾-阿莫一家人——喬、希拉、他們的女兒奧黛麗,以及他們接觸到的每一個人,都像一座愛與信念的堡壘一樣屹立著。
