I never saw this b4 but sudney is usually good and its based on a novel i never read by William Edmund Barrett
Sidney won the Oscar for this and was the 1st openly black guy to win one, back when it meant something an they didn't just give it to the most disenfranchised guy
after logo and credits nd title of Sydney driving across a wasteland, he stops and checks his car then goes on
he comes to this place with white chicks as nuns and maybe farmers like a Go Nagai thing anhe needs water for his car
the nuns say the Creator sent a strong man as he pumps the water thing and he sez he's passing through
after filling his cars a55 he drives off and they walk after him to horror music, jk its upbeat music
he checks his wallet and goes back andsez he can work for a day if it pays
they are European men i mena women and they thin he's german cuz he's homer smith and they thin its Schmidt as i guess hes one of th black germans
he goes to fix the roof andgets his tools an apron and they are impressed by him
after working on the roof they offer him a bed but he has a car to sleep in and is finished the work and wants to go
they have him stay for dinner and they pray in german or w/e and he eatsfast and they eat slow so he finished 1st
they say they are from Germany/Austrtia/Hungaria and wanna learn English and listen to a record on how to say English things
he helps em learn English and includes a bit of black talk
later he wakes up under a cloth over his car back and a thing on a rest plan and gets dressed as a nun is there
they want him to do more things and he sez he does what he wants when he wants and they want him to eat lie a polish grandma
he goes to complain and finds they only have 1 egg and no coffee and he eats it in 1 mouth
hes gonna charge em and deduct food butis taken to a starting of a chapple and he dont wanna make it
they say they will and he sez good and is gonna leave but relents and starts work as he dont want th chics to gets f'd by the hard work

she wants him to go to mass but hes Baptist and dont go but she sez we got you and he rejects it but goes with it
later he gets his sunday best on and finds they eat after mass nd he drives em to this place and theres some Mexicans
he goes to a restaurant and orders a lot of food and wants to mix milk and meat and tals wih the mexico who works during mass and sez the nuns dont have money and came over the berlin wall and escaped the soviet union but he's teaching em English
restaurant owner sez to ignore them and leav and later the nuns invite the Sydney to talk with the priest whos not mexicao in his trailer who sez the nun sez The Creator set him and he's gonna make her a chapple
he goes on of how he wanted more and is only going through like Sydney sez

latr hes working and wants to leave and then drives the nuns to town what looks like the 50s
he sez bye to em and checks out some heavy machinery and a guy talsk to him about the nuns wanting him to make a chappel and they said he's their contractor
the guy grills him and he sez he's gonna mae a chappel and can do the equipmen and the guy agrees to pay him
he takes the nuns back from the bus station and checks the making place and sez they need 3x the bricks and asks the Creator for more meat on the table
he wors on it and the nuns write a letter for asking for more money and they struggle with the words
Sydney comes back after shopping and talks with em then later they drive in the car they go to mass again and they make him go with em to Catholic Mass
they show Sydney to the Catholics and say he's not of their faith but is send by The Creator and is maing em a chapel
later Sydney is brick laying and building a wall and tells head nun he's outta bricks and boards but Nun sez The Creator will give em what they need
so they dont have the materials and when he tals with em of it they complain of how they failed cuz she had her faith in humans
he's had enough being their ndentured servant and calls her hit ler and goes off i think
so the nuns try to get along w/o him and walk to church and its the bummer part of the movie
its been 3 weeks and later Sydney comes bakcin shades with a Hawaiian shirt and tieeung the door closed with a rope
they go to church and he is told by head nun to go get breakfast and he seems kinda f'd and has eye issues maybe from a black eye or a tan
Mexico rentaurnat owner ask why he came back and he has a coke and he sez hes back to stay for the guys who wanna now
he clean up wearing pants an no shirt in col water and later the nuns bring in bricks
theres a buncha guys there to help ut Sydney sez he dont need help and sez nun prayed up a lot of bricks but only one man
so he works on it and restaurant guy comes by and sez "this is all yu did in a week? The Creator made the universe in 7 days and rested" and theres the other guys atching
he gets a birck the restaurant guy was footing on andrestaurant Mexican keeps interfering and brings a brick to help and sez if u dont want it, step over it and get another one
sysbdety uses it and the others bring bricks and bit by bit hes falling under their charm andthey work together, even the women
he complains about how he wanted to do it imself and nuns comfort him
later the nuns are talking to people and the people wanna leave but restaurant Mexico sez if Sydney leaves the whoe thing f's out
Sydney takes over and tells em how to make it work and do it right and the nn calls him hti let for beign strict and black
the machinery guy comes by and sees em cooking an animal and mixing cement with foot stomping and the chapel nearly built and not chapel from young blood who blew out his head cuz he got he aids and not from b0ning men
after getting soem done they have lunch and the guy asks where the material came rom and resatuant Mexican sez the people gave it as faith is needed
the guy wants Sydney to foreman a highway hes making but Sydney sez after this hs moving on
they get a chanelienr and later is night an the men party and women pray
Sydney dances and the chicks whine and he does the soviet thing with the squatting kicks
the next day a nun throws water in sydneys face for mixing wine and tequila
a guy i thin its yeah its the highway guy gives em bricks and Sydney wants to crush em for gravel but he sez the bricks were fired up strong
the nuns bug highwayman for more matiernalcs and later he sez howshe ants more and more and will want a hospital and school and only so much is deductible
after putting up the cross he writes in his finger homer smith in the cement and goes in to see the church
nun sez tomorrow is the 1at mas and hopes he will be in front for everyone to see
priest and Mexican restaurant guy come ina dn priest has a real church to say mass
he sez he made a selfish prayer and the prayer came true through them and hopes to be worthy of trust
the nuns sing and Sydney seems bummed and when nun sez to do more he sez he did it
her English has improved and they go over englaish saying and sing the Amen song
he leavrs as they sing and starts packing up his stuff and drives off as the screen says Amen
then credits sowing who did what like in space balls
The End
that was quite good
great actng and musc and the story was innocent and upbeat
its pure ad clean ans posiive and has good values and heart
its in b/w and i think widescreen and is really feel good
its mild and calm and peaceful and good natured and wholesome
glad i saw this, its really a good watch
And the title being a line fro The Bible was also done in Chariots Of Fire
For Lilies of the Field 2 I want him to come to California and find a excavation of an ancient temple and help out, but as he digs he finds hieroglyphics and images of dinosaurs and uncovers creationist things. Also its a 128 bit game like Harvest Moon on Sega Dreamcast, GameCube, xbox and ps2 where you play as Homer Smith and do excavation games and life simulate and do diggings for artifacts.
