My stomach went downhill with the film. The basis was too familiar when one cannot dive into the cult like religious experience. With a mocking hand, Marjoe also known as Mary and Joseph together preached from being a child prodigy to an evangelist.
The film documented the life of Marjoe with interviews and recorded evangelistic sermons with the audience. I am fully aware of the preaching through the strong community of the Pentecostal church in Southern California. The concrete foundation is based on money and show. The documentary perfectly demonstrated the strong engine of earning great money by the performance of a man.
I cannot explain in details on a profound thought. This would be a great study for films based on a pastor's preaching, the speaking in tongues, and miracle healings. The interviews with Marjoe made his character in a double sided imaging. It was seamless yet gave a strong message for hypocrisy.
