商品紹介
JESUS CAMP follows Levi, Rachel and Tory to Pastor Becky Fischer's "Kids on Fire" summer camp in Devil's Lake, North Dakota, where kids as young as 6 years-old are taught to become dedicated Christian soldiers in "God's Army". The film follows these children at camp as they hone their "prophetic gifts" and are schooled in how to "take back America for Christ". The controversial film is a first-ever look into an intense training ground that recruits born-again Christian children to become an active part of America's political future. Director Heidi Ewing, Rachel Grady.
Amazonより
The feverish spectacle of a summer camp for evangelical Christian kids is the focus of Jesus Camp, a fascinating if sometimes alarming documentary. (Shortly after its release, the movie gained a new notoriety when Ted Haggard, president of the National Association of Evangelicals, who appears near the end of the film, resigned his post amid a male prostitute's allegations of drug use and sexual misconduct.) For most of the film, we follow a charismatic teacher, Becky Fischer, as she trains young soldiers in "God's Army" at a camp in North Dakota. Some of the kids emerge as likable and bright, and eager to continue their work as pint-sized preachers; elsewhere, the visions of children speaking in tongues and falling to the floor in ecstasy are more troubling. Even more arresting is the vision of a generation of children home-schooled to believe that the Bible is science, or Fischer's certainty that America's flawed system of democracy will someday be replaced by a theocracy. (In one scene, a cardboard cut-out of George W. Bush is presented to the children, who react by laying their hands on the figure as though in a religious procession.) Filmmakers Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady maintain neutrality about all this, maybe too much so (they throw in some interviews with radio host Mike Papantonio to provide a liberal-Christian viewpoint) and one would like to know more about the grown-ups presented here. Power broker Haggard is the creepiest person in the film, an insincere smooth talker whose advice to one of the young would-be campgoers comes across as entirely cynical. Time will tell whether the film's Christian soldiers will be marching onward. --Robert Horton

そのニュースで驚くべきは、彼女が法廷侮辱罪で収監され釈放されたあとの記者会見に多くの支持者が集まり、彼女がヒロイン的な扱いを受けていたことだ。
現世の法律よりも、神の意思を優先するという原理主義にとって、現在の民主党が進める施策の数々は悪魔の所業に他ならない。
どのような信仰も他社の権利を害しない範囲で許容されるのがリベラルな社会の原則だが、
地方の、比較的娯楽の少ない地域で、親は学校にも通わせずに、福音派の教えだけを延々子供に伝えていく。
子供たちの選択の自由はない。他の選択肢を知らないから。
極め付きは福音派の夏のキャンプ(本作品のタイトル)で、共同生活を送りながら歌や踊り、芝居も合わせて、神の御心に従う子供たちに「洗脳」していく。
エンタメ色が強く、トランス状態の中で教義を伝え、最終的には子供であっても皆の前で懺悔し新しい自分について語るようになる。
集団催眠に近い形式で、日本でも自己啓発セミナーやマルチ商法のセミナーで同様の方法論を目にすることができるだろう。
邪念のない子供を戦士に仕立てあげるのは簡単で、キャンプのリーダーもそのことを明言して憚らない。
宗教行事ではあるが、最終的なメッセージは、「連邦最高裁判事に●●を送り込もう」「中絶を合法化する法を改正しよう」「ブッシュ大統領を支持しよう」と極めて政治的な色彩を帯びている。
西海岸、東海岸のアメリカではなく、土着のアメリカ。共和党の大きな支持基盤。
来年また大統領選挙がはじまる前に一度観ることをお勧めする。
余談だが、キャンプで肥満体型の女性牧師が「人間は食にどん欲になった」と説教していたが、まるで説得力がない。子供だって内心、「おばさんもどん欲なの?」って思ったのではなかろうか。
すこし変な子供というか、小さいころからそういう教育を受けていれば
ああいう子にはなるでしょう。と思っただけ。

I have to admit, there were a few moments when I wondered if I was being manipulated into thinking and feeling a certain way. One scene springs to mind, when during a sermon, there was a wailing, somewhat melodramatic music/song happening. Just as I was thinking that it was a cheat-like of the filmmakers to add a dramatic score over a relatively dramatic shot, the camera panned left and there was a woman wailing into a microphone, which I presume is supposed to help bring the children to religious ecstacy. So that just sort of told me that it wasn't neccessarily the filmmakers doing the manipulating.
As another reviewer said, they seem to be just pointing the camera and shooting, with no obvious enhancements for dramatic effect. I can only appreciate that, as by the end I felt that I was mostly able to decide for myself. The film is in no way unbiased, but then the subjects within the film could hardly be considered unbiased.
In terms of the topic, I thought it was a good one to cover in a world where we mostly seem to focus on Islamic fundamentalism. We seem to forget that there are many other religions out there with their own special branches of people who are taking it too far.
I think the thing that I found most compelling was the fact that the preacher seemed to really believe what she was saying. She spoke with such conviction that I could see how people would be easily swayed by her, particularly children. I think that frightened me more than anything. Her passion was almost alarming, that is until we got to the kids.
The kids were disturbing. They were all so serious and adult like. At one point a twelve year old boy told the preacher that at the age of five, he was depressed and thought there was nothing more to life until he heard the word of God. Well, the preacher was pleased at any rate. Myself, I wasn't sure whether to scoff or to scream. If that really were the case, which I doubt that it is, and the boy really was depressed at five years old, then I think what we should all be concerned about is the loss of childhood, and of innocence. Clearly, we don't have to worry too much about imagination, there seemed to be plenty going round.

Ohne jede Scham lassen sich LehrerInnen, PastorInnen und PredigerInnen dabei filmen, wie sie junge Menschen brechen, ihr Selbstwertgefuehl konsequent vernichten und sie zu Soldaten Christi machen. Geboren als "schlechte Menschen", "Suender" und "Luegner" werden kleine Kinder abgewertet und beschimpft, bis sie sich in Traenen ergeben und bereit sind, als bessere Menschen in dieser Kirche "wieder geboren" zu werden.
Das Argument dieser ueberzeugten, gewissensfreien Padagogen und Eltern ist, dass ja in der Islamischen Welt dasselbe passiert, und da wollen wir doch als Christen nicht hinanstehen. Es waere doch jammerschade, wenn sich in Zukunft nur moslemische Kinder mit Sprengstoffguerteln fuer ihren Gott in die Luft jagen - "Gott sein Dank" soll es schon bald entsprechende Christliche Selbstmordattentaeter geben, die bereit sind "fuer Jesus ihr Leben zu geben".
Warnung: Dieser Film ist nichts fuer schwache Nerven. Ich haette nach einem klassischen Horrorfilm besser geschlafen.

Jesus Camp's first images are of the heart land of The U.S. seen from a car window, as sinister music and hair raising radio broadcasts fill the watcher with foreboding and dread. Believers in God's perfect will are advocating a culture war to reclaim America for Christ. These mean spirited holy warriors make no qualms about wanting to take over our country from those sin practicing liberal minded free thinkers. Within minutes we become aware of an all to real powerful force in our own back yard that will stoop as low as humanly possible and stop at nothing to steal democracy from us like a thief in the night.
Becky is the first one we meet, as she angrily barks her sermon to her captive group of brain washed children about how this world is sick and we need to break out the tools to fix it. Amazingly hypocritical, in that she is built like a hippo herself, she builds the children's urgency and their youthful purpose by shouting "We have too many Christian grown ups that are fat and lazy and don't want to give up a meal!" At the end of her gross sermon the children are encouraged to speak in tongues under fat Becky's guidance.
Smartly directed by Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady, the movie shifts back and forth between the grown up abusers, and the poor impressionable child victoms themselves. Since any viewer with a shread of reality left in their bones would feel hopelessly crushed under the weight of all the vulgar desplays of adverse behavior, and bombardment of sick fundamentalism, the directors spare us time to time by letting us sit in on writer and attorney Mike Papantonio's on air radio show. He becomes the conscious of the film since it is all too clear that the evangelical adults don't have any conscious left and are actively smashing what little conscious remains in their darling little warriors. He is the very voice of sanity that asks the questions that any responsible adult should be asking, like " Why do you indoctronate children and interfere with their ability to learn and decide for themselves? Don't you realize that you are damaging the progression of mankind?"
He also asks the questions that any responsible Christian that honors America should be asking themselves. " How do we ignor that we are creating children warriors for the republican party? How does that figure in, in any way, with how Christ said we should live our lives on Earth?"
During the course of the film we get to know two of the child warriors pretty well, they are Rachel, and Levi. 12 year old Levi is being raised to become a preacher of the holy word himself. There is a shot of him rehearsing his first ever sermon, a sermon he claims that God really wrote through him. It contains all the familiar elements that he has heard his whole life, like " God is all powerful and good and needs to rule everything", and " Satan is wicked and needs to be watched". His sermon is for his fellow youths so he encourages them to " Rise up and take action by running with the baton!" He has also been home schooled along with his little brother who early in this picture sadly claims that Galileo made the right choice when he gave up science for Christ. For those of you that are not hip as to why Galileo chose to do this, it was because in 1610 he made the discovery that the Earth revolved around The Sun. The Catholic Church didn't like his theory that man was not the center of the universe so they sent the Holy Inquisition to go and correct said theory. Not to be outdone in science bashing, Levi tells his parental unit teacher, that he would not mind going to a public school in which the teacher taught that evolution is stupid, and so are the people who believe in it. Meanwhile he is learning the lesson that global warming is not real, that it is just a political tool used by the enemy party against God's chosen political party. You see, when people actually believe that The Rapture is real and it is going to happen at some point during their lifetime, it makes The Earth's natural resources, and the environment completely expendable. After all, Jesus is already on his way so it doesn't matter. I am not making any of this up, it's an actual fact that 45% of American's believe that The Rapture is going to happen in their lifetime...Where's Becky's fat and lazy speach when we need it?
Just as heartbreaking sad is ten year old Rachel who is shown actually asking God to bless her bowling ball before every toss down the lane. Next she approaches a hot young blonde chick of around 20 or so, sitting at one of the adjacent lanes. Rachel tells this blonde lady that God is thinking about her and she just wanted her to know that. Once back with her family, the grown ups gather around to congratulate her efforts to save a soul glowingly. Later Rachel vacuously tells the camera about the types of churches God likes to go to. They are not the ones in which people prey quietly with no passion, because those are "dead" churches. Then she talks about her desire to run a hair salon, so that her relaxed clients will be more receptive to the Christian music and soul saving she plans to administer along with the hair treatment. All I can think of, is how amazingly warped poor little Rachel really is. Don't most children wish they could be firemen and movie stars? But under the guiding hands of creatures like fat Becky, Rachel and her minion of fellow brain washed future leaders have no hopes of ever becoming normal kids.
"J.C. In the house!"
At the Jesus Camp its self, Becky goes around and does something that goes beyond mere stupidity. She blesses the seats, the electricity, the electrical equipment, video projectors, power points, presentations, and microphones, all in the blood of Christ...Christians sure do love their blood...Then during the presentation to the captive kiddies, she condemns that evil monster Harry Potter for being a warlock.
" He would be put to death by past Christians!" she spats hatefully.
In the pause that fallows a single childs voice can be heard shouting an "AMEN!" Fallowed by complete fellowship applause for that lovely morally righteous comment. Meanwhile the PA plays Christian rap, heavy metal, and rock, along with the appropriate subliminal atmospheric stuff at the most effective moments of the mind numbing sermon. This includes some lady who moans her spirit ladened head off into a hand held microphone...And what in the world is some Australian Preacher doing telling American children that they have to replace the morally corrupt government officails with righteous ones? Meanwhile, Fat Becky makes references about MacDonald drive through windows, ( which I am sure she knows all about ) and tells the now tear stained children to do as The Apostle Paul said and take the scriptures and make WAR with them.
There are a couple of telling moments that fallow, in which a few of the children actually say something human despite all the brain washing. The first is when a little boy tells the adults that he sometimes feels that God really isn't there listening to him pray, and that he wonders if The Bible is actually the writen word of God or simply something writen by people. He is given a book and forced to go sit by himself outside and read it. The other moment is when a group of boys are sitting around a table with Levi. One of the boys says that his mother will not let him watch Harry Potter because it has witch craft in it, but he watches it anyway when he goes over his dads house. This is fallowed by an amazing look of shear stunned shock on the faces of all the other boys. Had this scene been played with no audio, a person watching it might have been convinced by the looks on the other boys faces that he just told them that he was in love with fat Becky.
Now unlike Mike Papantonio, I do not share America's one nation under God beliefs. In fact, I don't believe that Jesus Christ even existed at all. I am for all practical purposes, a card carrying atheist, but that is alright, that is peachy creamy. What is not alright, is that there is a group that actively messes with the lives of other people. They don't want anyone in this world to even have thoughts that are different then their own. They are building an army of foot soldiers to eradicate the seperation of church and state, and they have already achieved a strangle hold on many of the government and media bodies that rule this country. Yet on the other side, us rational people are just not like them. We still believe in being courteous and respectful of the boundaries of our fellow humans. We still listen to what others have to say and try not to hurt their feelings. Basically, we are asleep at the wheel because we actually believe and practice decency and kindness. Sadly, this will not do anymore, because their side practices agression, and their side has declaired total genocide on us. That is why I refuse to find an easy escape the next time I am approached by a soul saver. Unlike that blonde girl in the bowling alley who acted all sweet and courteos to Rachel, I would of told that little girl exactly why I don't believe in God, and if I have to I will get into an unholy discussion with her entire gang. I will refuse to back down or walk away, because I plan to keep my personal freedom intact.
Jesus Camp should be shown to everyone who is of voting age, it is a five star must own film because it lets us know that we are indeed under attack and have to actually act like we are under attack. Jesus Camp is the scariest film I have seen since The Exorcist blessed cinema's around the world on boxing day 1973, because it shows that not only is God dead, but so too is kindness.
