" The deeper in their belief of Jesus and listen to his word , feel its pressure is
released ." " He says that the church is the gym of the
soul" .
The famous Sylvester Stallone revealed that he has returned to the Christian faith and
decided to show this time of his life in "Rocky Balboa ," the sixth part of the series which
premiered Rocky these days all over the world . The revelation has caused quite a surprise.
Stallone says most of his earlier films were bloody , were treated with the fruits of his
youth , when his marriage was wrong and was seduced by all the temptations of Hollywood.
For him , this film has been guided by the hand of God .
Now , says enjoy a stable marriage and a completely different relationship with Jesus Christ . " The
deeper in their belief in Jesus and listening to His Word , feel myself from their pressure."
He says that the church is the gym of the soul.
Stallone does not hesitate to proclaim that has changed and says his latest film, "Rocky
Balboa " aims to reflect the Christian faith who lost young.
With sixty years , the actor who again won by a movie and was born with facial paralysis
, again embodies the boxer Rocky thirty years after his first appearance on screen .
Stallone says the character of Rocky forgive . Not bitter. Always turns the other cheek
, as if all his life put at the service of others. Concludes that he has made many
mistakes in his life, but one that you could not live was a good ending to give Rocky.
CHRISTIAN VALUES Stallone has talked to various Protestant
Christian leaders in the United States, in an attempt to get help from these to promote
his new movie. At the same time , the actor from "Rocky Balboa " says that the film can
be used as a tool for outreach.
In a recent statement Stallone said : "We need a script that speaks of respect for God,
a script that really concerned the issue of compassion and speak the word of Jesus and
God, believe me , people run after that script because it is what our society needs. "
Moreover, the same Stallone has mentioned the strong spiritual awareness that he had
while shooting the film , to the point of saying: " This is a film for me was led under
the guidance of God," said Stallone as leaders Christians.
FILM In "Rocky Balboa " the film begins at a time
20 years after the end of "Rocky V " . The central character , Rocky Balboa, has converted
to Christianity , and in fact, " the last thing you hear Rocky before entering the ring
are a few words of the Scriptures, and that's what gives you strength ," says Stallone.
Precisely , Sylvester Stallone is working with the company " Motive Entertainment" that
has helped promote other films with Christian values influence or " The Passion of
the Christ" and " The Chronicles of Narnia , " to promote her new film.
In fact and in this line the company " Motive Entertainment" has launched the website www.rockyresources.com
, with tools designed for Christian leaders to use the movie "Rocky Balboa " nothing less
than to evangelize and teach Christian values .
The reality is that the film can not be classified as strictly " Christian " although it is clear
that it contains family values and life lessons consistent with the Christian faith
( beatings between boxers apart ) .
FAITH AND VIOLENCE No doubt this relationship of faith and violence
on the screen you see a certain ethical tensions , but there are other very famous actors like
Chuck Norris - linking genuine evangelical Christian faith in films a high rate of violence
. Perhaps it's partly American culture, and partly contradictory paradox of human ( you
choose what percentage each ) .
Another question that arises from these apparent conversions to coincide with public statements
of faith ( without denying at all) is the factor of new movie advertising between evangelical
public , something already exploited by previous ones, and that is increasingly on the rise
.
