I love this film
Robert Duvall did an excellent job bringing this film to life. The other ‘actors’ in the film also contribute to give “The Apostle” a realistic warmth rarely achieved in mainstream films. I refer to the cast as ‘actors’ because aside from numerous character actors, Duvall being one of the greatest, the film is inhabited by non-actors. In other words, the people in church, from the Holiness preachers to the warm small-town folk, are real people, not trained in acting. Duvall’s story is engaging and beautiful in the way it shows the flaws amid great talent in a man who chooses for himself the calling of Apostle. I love this film, the accurate portrayal of some aspects of southern U.S. life and culture, and especially Duvall’s performance.
Review By: haruuj
Remarkably original
First question: what caused Duvall to write, direct and act in this production ? Second question, asked on one of the discussion threads: is Duvall a Christian ? Wikipedia says that while he has stated that Christian Science is his belief, he does not attend church. Wikipedia also says that Christian Scientists believe that sickness is an illusion that can be cured by prayer. This does not include toothache, or broken bones, but there’s a lot of praying in this film.

I’d hazard a guess that the reason Duvall was not awarded the Best Actor Oscar is that he wasn’t acting. About half the rest of the cast weren’t acting either. In fact, the movie is largely documentary. The actors took part in the fictitious sections. They included Farrah Fawcett and Billy Bob Thornton, and they weren’t actually very good, but then they didn’t have to be, since their roles could have been played by anybody. Miranda Richardson was good, as an actress, and so was the actor playing Sam, who, in my opinion, was so outstanding that perhaps he was real, like the other evangelicals and the rest of the congregation.

The thought, however, of Jack Nicholson getting the Oscar for his part in “As Good as it Gets”, a real stinking turkey, simply beggars belief. Duvall was way, way better. Then again, he was simply being, not acting. He was not too old, either.
