Just saw The Shift. It is marketed as a Sci fi flick. It is a heavy handed blatant retelling of Job. It was so hard to sit thru the whole thing. The Sci fi made no sense and all the science was just a tool to preach the message. After it was over I looked up who put it out. The same people who did Sound of Freedom. Totally deceitful. When the story ended, the lead talked to the audience giving a QR code to buy tickets for other people to come and see the message of ‘hope’.
Well I’m here to warn all of you: don’t bother.
Robert Heinlein made an excellent scifi story with a modern retelling of Job. Yaweh did not come across well, but I’d hang with the book’s version of Satan any day.
I’ve got Orphans of the Sky on the list. What book is this?
It’s called Job: A Comedy of Justice
Probably my fave Heinlein novel, Job is fun, has a good pace, and it gets very cheeky and blasphemous at the end.
