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。

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。

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.

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.
