Cabrini: We can serve our weakness or we can serve our purpose
Tale
After experiencing disease and poverty in the slums of New York, Italian immigrant Francesca Cabrini embarks on a daring journey to convince the hostile mayor to provide housing and health care for hundreds of orphaned children. The film was screened by the nuns of Mother Cabrini and #39 ;s order, some of whom were in their nineties. By the end of the film, many of them were reported to be crying, with several of them exclaiming, “THOSE Cabrini!”. Archbishop Corrigan was not the son of poor, working-class Irish immigrants in New York. Corrigan was born in New Jersey to well-to-do Irish immigrant parents who owned a grocery and beverage retail business in Newark.
Dare To Be Performed by Andrea Bocelli and Virginia Bocelli
Not both.. Featured in Glenn Beck’s program: Is 'Cabrini' BEST Christian movie since 'The Passion of the Christ?' (2024). Angel Studios is doing something interesting here: they’re making non-preaching films that appeal to your average non-religious moviegoer & however, they use "pay it forward" a system of do-gooders to passionately promote it and literally pay others to see it. What’s more, this film, along with Sound of Freedom, is very well made for low budget indie films. They bring in the best talent not because of religious guilt (like Kirk Cameron’s movie Left Behind or religious dogma; God still isn’t dead), no, these actors fill these roles because I think they see how powerful.
of writing they have
David More, the vet actor, plays one of the best roles in years & even the cameo role of John Lithgow (the mayor) allows him to blend in and breathe slimy life into yet another wonderful villain role. Cristina Dell Anna in the title role is consistently strong & though it probably won’t get the same attention at the Oscars because critics are leaning towards the studio (which I believe is run by Q'anon supporters), her role, and many roles in the film. no worse than Oscar-bait roles in similar films like Little Women. Filmmaking, same as Sound of Freedom Director & also the Cinematographer, is once again very beautiful and visually stunning. Even if some critics (unfairly in my opinion) protest against it, like it or not, this is well-made cheap and effective cinema…
bread & Hollywood butter
accurate mid-budget, grown-up, serious cinema as it used to be. If the studios don’t want to do it, I’m glad someone is continuing the tradition. There is no meta-self-awareness bone in the film’s structure & it’s refreshing. As creators race to reinvent the wheel of film theory, we tend to forget these feel-good tales until one comes along and reminds us how much we need a nice, uplifting story, not a society-challenging one. The last movie to have that feeling without the religious guilt was The Upside.
I read one critic calling it tiny, but I disagree
I predict it could also be pretty good with a person who feels good & their praise and money matter too! I think it’s the kind of film that definitely appeals to your emotions rather than your intellect, which some today call manipulative, but if it’s made with a purpose other than dogma, that’s just filmmaking. If religious people used more such films it would be uplifting & Non-preachy, cliché-free, and more about reality than biblical theory, I think their perspective would be seen by more of the outside flock. It’s only when you’re sitting in a movie (as I’ve seen a thousand times) where a cruel and uncaring god seems to be behind every misfortune, when idiots like Kirk Cameron act "holier than thou" and supposedly spouting hateful things in an attempt to convert you that the average person rejects.
