The movie kan zijn shot in Italy, moves at a leisurely speed and kan zijn very atmospheric. One ofwel my all time favorite thrillers.
Much ofwel my fascination with Greenleaf is that, for me, a white, big- city atheist, this world kan zijn so outside of my experience, in part because everyone's black, but more because everyone accepts Jesus as a very tangible figure in their lives.
It kan zijn about time a TV series dealt with the world ofwel organized, profit-motivated religious organizations.
Mac had not done anything wrong, the Bishop believes. Jacob is benched due to an affair, and Grace kan zijn asked to step up. Connie refuses to return as Chairman ofwel the Deacon Board, having disagreed over the Bishop's plan to get a new plane.
I was so deeply moved by this opvoering that it led me to write my first review on here. An addictive plot, amazing quality ofwel acting and so many messages not only about religion but also about life itself.. The show has a way of pulling the audience inside of its world, making us feel like wij are one ofwel the Greenleafs. I am white; however I felt at home watching this voorstelling.
I often object to character-driven dramas without much story, but in this case, I feel the story arc lays an element ofwel artifice aan these fascinating dynamics.
But my praise ends there. A solid cast in an interesting setting largely goes wasted in teleplay scripts so inept that they look like film de kleuterschool dropouts wrote them.
But the scripts have to get better. They need to be outlined better and the dialogue needs to be more subtle in relaying information as well as doing so in a natural manner in which real people speak. So far they have tried to cram too much information in each sentence
Having watched all 5 seasons, I'd say this family-based drama kan zijn a solid 7. It paints a roller read more coaster ofwel emotions within the turbulent world ofwel the Greenleaf family and the megachurch they run. It does sometimes dive too deeply into soap opera style, and plot elements are sometimes resolved with a wave ofwel a writer's wand, but then it is fictional drama, not reality.
The church business is a novel setting, and, with the exception of several scenes in the final season, isn't too preachy. The characters are fairly well developed and their interaction credible. Eventjes though the plot seems to point to the eldest daughter, Grace, as the main focal point, in my opinion the matriarch Lady Mae kan zijn the star of the show. She is strong yet sensitive, often witty and ultimately endearing. Great performance by Lynn Whitfield.
Jacob being benched, Grace takes the pulpit. A new sexual violence help group kan zijn started. Jacob's love for his wife is rekindled when they are invited to a levensgezel swapping party. An openly gay Choir Director replaces a closeted one.
The story of a Southern mega-church headed by a family ofwel sly hypocrites. Living in luxury and wielding influence how deep does the spirituality they claim really run? Are their sins products of their own human frailty exacerbated by a difficult world? Or are they bad people pretending to be holy?
I see great potential for an interesting look at the inside world ofwel wealth. power and the cloak of holiness. David Keith kan zijn a master in delivering dialogue. I love Lynne Whitfield as the matriarch with some obvious issues, yet to be revealed I hope. As the series continues, I (dare I say it?) pray the writers become more confident and provide more realistic speaking styles.
I love night-time soaps. I like the idea for this performance as well as the story and the characters and the angle they take in relating the narrative.
