An Exercise In Nonsense
When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
How anyone rated this more than 1 is beyond me. Hamfisted Christian persecution complex propaganda.They would have had to make a strong effort to make it worse.Seriously? Anyone who gave this a 2 or more, have you seen a movie before?Embarrassing for Christians, infuriating for the sane.I'd rather have a sulfuric acid enema than watch this again.I'd rather watch a soccer match than watch this again.I'd rather have my appendage slammed between two biology textbooks than watch this again.
I know lots of Christians and they really don't seem this dumb or confused about how logic or the world works. This movie is insulting not just to all other beliefs and non-beliefs but it is insulting to Christians by painting them all as drooling morons who don't understand how laws, lawyers, wars, teenagers, plays, politics, or the government works. Fine it is a movie and it isn't suppose to represent reality but if that is the case this movie has the exact same amount of truth and facts in it as Transformers, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Teenage Mutant Ninja turtles, but it is somehow less entertaining than any of those movies. The movie actually probably deserves 1 star, but in this case I am rewarding this movie for its production value being better than the average Christian movie. Some of the acting was competent and the cinematography seems competent. Now if the Christians can find someone that can write a decent story they may make a movie that will appeal to people that don't even believe in the magical sky daddy.
This movie is a fantastic way to start or continue conversations with your kids about what it means to be an American and those things that make us Americans, those things that have made us special among all the nations of the earth. Additionally, It points out what citizenship is, and how community is built and kept. There are leadership lessons and other good life lessons. Anybody remember The Waltons or Little House, and the subtle lessons we learned about life and how to deal with the adversity that will inevitably be part of every life. Today much of what is on TV is a race to the bottom displaying the worst of humanity. In that sea of smut this is something the whole family will enjoy.
Saw the whole movie on you tube so if your interested you can watch it.Not much to say about this movie First of the acting was mediocre but if feel the actors couldn't have done better since the characters have very little development and are pretty one dimensional.Kids can't take a bible to school? In the movie Christians have had freedoms taken away but its nothing like reality. The ACLU-big shot lawyer villain has the debating skills of a 6th grader. Christmas trees unconstitutional ...why? the trees are completely secular and have nothing to do with religion. This whole war on Christmas is such a joke that it makes this movie a joke. I say Merry Christmas to everyone and sometimes I get a happy holiday back but my Merry Christmas hasn't bothered anyone and their happy holiday doesn't bother me both people wish each other well is a good thing no matter what is said. Should I feel offended if some one wish me Happy Hanukkah.This movie has no understanding of the First Amendment "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof..." can't have teachers leading prayers in school but you can't keep kids from praying in school as long as it done in there own time. Also the makers of this film seem to forget that separation of church and state while not directly said in the First Amendment but that Thomas Jefferson wrote that "...thus building a wall of separation between church and State" and that this was first used in the supreme court back in 1879.U.S. Supreme Court. In Reynolds v. United States (1879) the Court wrote that Jefferson's comments "may be accepted almost as an authoritative declaration of the scope and effect of the First Amendment." So I guess the this film knows better then one of our founding fathers.
