[0:05](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Vk4PscqBnyGs/en/jim-caviezel-on-faith-hollywood-and-his-new-film?t=5) W-why is this a film that America s-should see and should see over the next couple of days? [0:13](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Vk4PscqBnyGs/en/jim-caviezel-on-faith-hollywood-and-his-new-film?t=13) It's what you were doing all day today and what people were doing when they were watching their veterans that died, watch their families and their brothers and sisters die. [0:24](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Vk4PscqBnyGs/en/jim-caviezel-on-faith-hollywood-and-his-new-film?t=24) It's what we want. That we know in our hearts that if this country falls, the entire world's gonna fall. [0:30](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Vk4PscqBnyGs/en/jim-caviezel-on-faith-hollywood-and-his-new-film?t=30) It's over. God gave us this moment. This moment, this Fitz character, he reminds us of us. [0:37](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Vk4PscqBnyGs/en/jim-caviezel-on-faith-hollywood-and-his-new-film?t=37) And it has-- we've been, uh, we've been marginalized. [0:42](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Vk4PscqBnyGs/en/jim-caviezel-on-faith-hollywood-and-his-new-film?t=42) We-- you saw it in The Passion of the Christ, we were marginalized. [0:45](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Vk4PscqBnyGs/en/jim-caviezel-on-faith-hollywood-and-his-new-film?t=45) We had articles that were written. Mel Gibson and me, 120 arti- 107 articles, the front page of the New York Times just ripped the hell out of us, telling you not to go, and you came anyway. [0:57](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Vk4PscqBnyGs/en/jim-caviezel-on-faith-hollywood-and-his-new-film?t=57) I've never put out crap. I've always wanted to put out something that would make people like Jimmy Stewart and, uh, my family and, and my country proud. [1:07](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Vk4PscqBnyGs/en/jim-caviezel-on-faith-hollywood-and-his-new-film?t=67) And I knew this would. I knew this would because it wasn't about the emasculation of just some guy, or it wasn't a transgender Jesus, or it wasn't a gay Jesus, where I would have won Academy Award. [1:19](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Vk4PscqBnyGs/en/jim-caviezel-on-faith-hollywood-and-his-new-film?t=79) I mean, let's face it. And that's why people have turned, uh, the film industry off. [1:25](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Vk4PscqBnyGs/en/jim-caviezel-on-faith-hollywood-and-his-new-film?t=85) And I gotta hand it to Sony for finally stepping up, and they didn't have to. [1:30](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Vk4PscqBnyGs/en/jim-caviezel-on-faith-hollywood-and-his-new-film?t=90) But we went to them for Sound of Freedom. [1:32](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Vk4PscqBnyGs/en/jim-caviezel-on-faith-hollywood-and-his-new-film?t=92) They didn't pick that film up. Angel did. [1:36](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Vk4PscqBnyGs/en/jim-caviezel-on-faith-hollywood-and-his-new-film?t=96) Uh, uh, The Passion of the Christ did not get picked up by any of the studios. [1:41](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Vk4PscqBnyGs/en/jim-caviezel-on-faith-hollywood-and-his-new-film?t=101) And right there, that's 3 billion dollars. [1:43](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Vk4PscqBnyGs/en/jim-caviezel-on-faith-hollywood-and-his-new-film?t=103) I mean, can you imagine turning 3 billion dollars down? [1:47](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Vk4PscqBnyGs/en/jim-caviezel-on-faith-hollywood-and-his-new-film?t=107) So I, I, I just knew, A, make a great film. [1:52](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Vk4PscqBnyGs/en/jim-caviezel-on-faith-hollywood-and-his-new-film?t=112) Make real stuff. Make this, this has a spirituality in it, like, you know, films that I used to watch, like, uh, Enter the Dragon, Bruce Lee. [2:00](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Vk4PscqBnyGs/en/jim-caviezel-on-faith-hollywood-and-his-new-film?t=120) He had a spirituality in there, and I watched it. [2:04](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Vk4PscqBnyGs/en/jim-caviezel-on-faith-hollywood-and-his-new-film?t=124) And when Hollywood found and bought that film, 'cause they, they wouldn't give him a chance. [2:09](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Vk4PscqBnyGs/en/jim-caviezel-on-faith-hollywood-and-his-new-film?t=129) And he wanted the spirit of the warrior, the samurai in there, and they didn't want it in there. [2:13](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Vk4PscqBnyGs/en/jim-caviezel-on-faith-hollywood-and-his-new-film?t=133) It was too much re-religiosity and everything. [2:16](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Vk4PscqBnyGs/en/jim-caviezel-on-faith-hollywood-and-his-new-film?t=136) This is what they did to me on The Count of Monte Cristo. [2:19](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Vk4PscqBnyGs/en/jim-caviezel-on-faith-hollywood-and-his-new-film?t=139) Most people didn't know who I was back then, but they, they saw it at, uh, not in the theaters. [2:25](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Vk4PscqBnyGs/en/jim-caviezel-on-faith-hollywood-and-his-new-film?t=145) They saw it later, and they said, "This is powerful." [2:28](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Vk4PscqBnyGs/en/jim-caviezel-on-faith-hollywood-and-his-new-film?t=148) But see, the, the industry, they don't-- it's become like very communist, very anti-God. [2:33](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Vk4PscqBnyGs/en/jim-caviezel-on-faith-hollywood-and-his-new-film?t=153) And so there is a God element in this. And it's not something like, you know, uh, a lot of the SEAL community that I've worked with, it's not like they walk and wear it on their sleeve, but they have it here in their heart. [2:44](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Vk4PscqBnyGs/en/jim-caviezel-on-faith-hollywood-and-his-new-film?t=164) They have it in the right spot, and they're not an atheist in the foxhole. [2:48](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Vk4PscqBnyGs/en/jim-caviezel-on-faith-hollywood-and-his-new-film?t=168) And that's the same, same characteristic that Chris Papasedero, who wrote this, and the guys that believed in it, believed in me, came in and, um, they believed. [2:59](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Vk4PscqBnyGs/en/jim-caviezel-on-faith-hollywood-and-his-new-film?t=179) Sony believed that there was, uh, a group of Americans out there, millions of them, that would come to this movie. [3:05](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Vk4PscqBnyGs/en/jim-caviezel-on-faith-hollywood-and-his-new-film?t=185) And this really, this is a referendum on me, referendum also on Hollywood. [3:10](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Vk4PscqBnyGs/en/jim-caviezel-on-faith-hollywood-and-his-new-film?t=190) And Sony's ahead of it, and Sony's gonna get the, the, the-- a lot of Americans are gonna, I think are gonna start coming to their movies more, and I think more of the industry. [3:19](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Vk4PscqBnyGs/en/jim-caviezel-on-faith-hollywood-and-his-new-film?t=199) Paramount, Josh Goldstein is now over there, and, and David Allison and all of them. [3:24](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Vk4PscqBnyGs/en/jim-caviezel-on-faith-hollywood-and-his-new-film?t=204) And, uh, and so give the industry just a, just a moment more. [3:29](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Vk4PscqBnyGs/en/jim-caviezel-on-faith-hollywood-and-his-new-film?t=209) I think Americans are because I think they, they wanna have that traditional movies that work, 'cause we're really fighting over what? [3:36](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Vk4PscqBnyGs/en/jim-caviezel-on-faith-hollywood-and-his-new-film?t=216) The, the narrative. This is good versus evil. [3:40](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Vk4PscqBnyGs/en/jim-caviezel-on-faith-hollywood-and-his-new-film?t=220) And generally, Americans and people in the world, they love this kind of thing. [3:46](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Vk4PscqBnyGs/en/jim-caviezel-on-faith-hollywood-and-his-new-film?t=226) And we have to build our wall up, and we've gotta be stronger, because without a wall, we have no country.
