Patterns of Evidence: The Red Sea Miracle II
Self
THE RED SEA MIRACLE 2 continues to raise big questions about biblical miracles. Introducing the second film in a new two-part series by Patterns of Evidence’s award-winning filmmaker, Timothy Mahoney. How could thousands of feet of water be parted at the Red Sea? Or was the sea merely parted by the act of wind in nature, through a shallow Egyptian lake? Mahoney investigates these locations to see if any have a pattern of evidence matching the Bible. People of faith will be inspired and skeptics will have much to think about as Mahoney reveals two decades of documentary research including if divers found the remains of Pharaoh's army on the seafloor. This cinematic journey leads him to inquire… “Do miracles still happen today?”
Patterns of Evidence: The Red Sea Miracle
Self
Patterns of Evidence: The Red Sea Miracle , is the first in a two-part film series by Patterns of Evidence’s award-winning filmmaker, Timothy Mahoney. In this investigation he examines the journey to the crossing location, looking at two competing views of the Red Sea Miracle. One he calls the “Egyptian Approach,” which looks near Egypt. The other he calls the “Hebrew Approach,” which looks far from Egypt to the Gulf of Aqaba where divers have been searching for the remains of Pharaoh’s army on the seafloor. The investigation raises giant questions about the real location for the crossing site and its implications on your view of God. The answers to these questions point to one of two very different realities.

The silent cinema had already created colossal movies based on ancient civilizations, but it is in the 1950s when peplums reach their apogee in Hollywood. Then, peplums take root at Cinecittà studios, in Rome, where cheap cinema is produced with bodybuilders as heroes. The genre decays in the late 1960s, but rises again decades later, when a modern classic is released in 2000.

Во время англо-американской войны 1812 года генерал Эндрю Джексон располагает только 1200-ю солдатами для защиты Нового Орлеана от Британских кораблей, хотя знает, что британский флот в составе 60 кораблей и 16 тысяч человек вскоре прибудет, чтобы взять город.

Хотя Лафит никогда не нападает на американские суда, губернатор ненавидит его за то, что он продает товары без налогов, а граждане любят его по той же самой причине. Когда большое сражение становится неотвратимо, Лафит разрывается между двумя фронтами. Его сердце принадлежит Америке, но его люди убеждают его сотрудничать с теми, кто наверняка победит…

Самсон и Далила
Narrator (uncredited)
Самсон — израильский богатырь, прославившийся в войнах с филистимлянами. Однажды на него напал лев, и Самсон растерзал его голыми руками. Много раз враги израильтян, филистимляне, покушались убить его, но всегда безуспешно. Любовь к филистимлянке Далиле погубила Самсона. Узнав, что сила героя заключается в его длинных волосах, она во время сна остригла ему волосы и передала в руки филистимлян. Язычники, выколов глаза, посадили Самсона в темницу. Согласно Ветхому Завету однажды мучители вывели Самсона на всенародное поругание в свой языческий храм. Самсон попросил отрока, водившего его за руку, подвести его к двум колоннам, на которых держалось все здание, чтобы прислониться к ним. Помолившись Богу, он уперся в столбы руками и сдвинул их с места. Здание обрушилось. Под развалинами здания погибли все филистимляне, бывшие там, а с ними и сам Самсон.

The Fallbrook Story
Himself Introduction
“The Fallbrook Story,” is a 20-minute film of Cold War-era uneasiness in which director Frank Capra rails against what he calls the evils of Big Bureaucracy. In 1951, Capra lived in Fallbrook, California on his 1,000-acre Red Mountain Ranch farm filled with olive groves. The federal government, which had purchased the old Rancho Santa Margarita land in 1941 to build Camp Pendleton, was concerned that ranchers upstream would take or pollute the Santa Margarita River, which ran through Camp Pendleton. Capra’s film documents how Fallbrook residents fought back against the federal government.
