Review of Marjoe

Marjoe (1972)
10/10
Great movie for people in Pentecostal/Charismatic Ministry
2 June 2005
I don't think the average non church goer would even "get" this movie in its deepest sense. But, it should be required viewing for every Pentecostal/Charismatic leader. Why? Because Marjoe is warmer, more people oriented, a better communicator and radiates sincerity more than most of the top names in evangelism today. If you could take clips of his preaching and put them along side of any of the top televangelists today, and ask which is real and which is fake, Marjoe would come off as the real one every time! He is more giving, more compassionate and more warm than any of the top ones of today. He also has more integrity than most: He states in the film that he had better go one way or another, because he can't live two lives - he either needs to get in all the way and become "real" or go into acting, because he'd been acting all his life.

Nowadays, various leaders have no problem living adulterous or drunken lifestyles. They want to do what they want and still be in ministry. Hats off to Marjoe for having higher levels of integrity than that. He'd be welcome at our house anytime! Note to Pentecostal/Charismatic leadership: Watch this movie, and ask yourself if you'd have him at your church, based on his performances in church... you'd have him and you'd have him back. He's that good!
