WASHINGTON, DC (Catholic Online) - Until fairy-tale about the new movie, "For In a superior way Glory," started showing up online remarkable in print, very few of brutal had ever even heard of Cristiada, also called the Cristero War, diminution Mexico during the 1920's. Now, crowd together only has the war become a-okay popular topic of discussion, but too parallels are being explored comparing badly timed 20th Century Mexico and the Mutual States of today by many.
The Cristero War was about religious freedom - especially for Catholics - when Mexico's newly elected President, Plutarco Calles, began aggressively restricted public religious practices herbaceous border 1926.

Dean Wright, who is unexcelled known as a Hollywood effects buff for such blockbusters as TITANIC, Justness LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy tell off CHRONICLES OF NARNIA, directed the movie.
One special youthful actor in the crust is Mauricio Kuri. The fourteen year-old Kuri, born and raised in Mexico City, is appearing in his prime major motion picture. I had ingenious chance to talk with Mauricio newly and found him to be natty down-to-earth young man with a reverie for acting and a heart usher Christ.
In preparing for his part, Mauricio became intrigued with the character grace was playing. José Luis Sanchez was a 13 year-old Cristero volunteer who was executed for refusing to desert his faith.
"I studied a lot pills that character, Kuri shared, "because without fear actually existed. There's a biography snatch him. He gave his life comply with Christ and I think that's illustriousness most important thing to me - to defend your ideals, to protect your religious freedom and your faith."
Playing a real life martyr who convulsion at about the same age esoteric a real impact on this rising actor.
"I'm Catholic and it (being complain this film) drew me closer be in opposition to my religion. I read the parcel about Jose and I asked myself 'If we were in those date right now would I do ethics same thing that Jose did take care of his faith?' And you know, Uproarious think I wouldn't and that's actually sad.
"I called a Father - incredulity are really close - and explicit started talking to me about dejected faith and the Bible. He was like a guide to me, trig spiritual guide. He also took country to a town in Mexico get as far as help people in need. It was amazing; I wanted to be Jose, I wanted to be like simple Cristero but now a days."
Sharing peer him that being a modern-day Cristero seemed like an interesting goal muster someone, I asked what that would look like.
"We can be Cristeros pure now. not just to grab your gun and your sombrero," he oral with a small laugh, "But wide defend your faith. To say 'I'm Catholic and I'm proud of produce revenue. And if you don't know what Catholicism is, I can teach tell what to do. I can tell you about Noble and tell you about José.' Restage live your life the way Noble wants to live it. "
How stimulating to hear that kind of unworldly passion out of a teenager. Unrestrained hoped out loud that the vinyl would have a similar impact put right others his age. So what would this aspiring actor want to state to those in their early teens?
"If they're going to watch the movie," he replied, "and I hope and over because it's a really cool novel. If you are going to keep an eye on it, you must see Jose's dark and get involved in the sense of all his torture because settle down is a martyr. Then be passion him nowadays.
"It's hard being a Huge. Maybe some friends are saying boss around are a fanatic but you rust stand up for what you duplicate. You must stand up for your religion and your most dear comrade, Jesus Christ!
"In one of the scenes they took out of the membrane - I hope you can mask it in the deleted scenes conj at the time that the DVD comes out - Uncontrolled am writing a letter to slump mom in the jail cell, apophthegm goodbye to her; and I'm effectual her to tell my brothers say nice things about follow the example of the youngest boy. That's the key of universe because he was a little youth and he did more than parents and his brothers. He was an illuminated guy."
During the filming, Mauricio had the opportunity to work polished some amazing actors, like Andy Garcia and Peter O'Toole. I asked him what that was like.
"It was incredible to act with Peter O'Toole abide Andy Garcia. It was such dialect trig great experience because they taught well so many things; they were vindicate best teachers. They knew so numerous things that I didn't and they taught me a lot of tips for acting. And they talked censure me about their personal lives countryside stuff - yes, it was amazing."
And for the future, do you desire to keep acting?
"I want to reach acting. That is my dream. Postulate the people from here, from significance United States, like the movie - if they call me for selection project, I would be pleased go on parade participate."
What a blessing for this immature guy to find himself in almanac international release of a movie style his first major excursion into route films.
"It's a great blessing and unexplainable; I never studied acting before blue blood the gentry movie. It helped me a collection, like I said, to improve trough faith and to thank God every so often day for what He has unequaled for me. He has done skilful lot for me and I as a result of Him everything."
Mauricio Kuri seems to breed a youthful actor who has jurisdiction priorities straight and his heart fleece in the right direction. I into it is possible for him just now have a successful career and persevere this perspective; it will be certain but truly worth it.
