A Poignant Film that Keeps One Thinking for Days!

I was delighted and surprised by this joyous film that is just in time for Christmas. My wife and I have been blessed with thirteen children and it is rare that we all will go to see a film together. However, this was an exception that proved to be far too important to pass up.

As a family, we were not disappointed in the slightest. Throughout the film we laughed, cried and had deep moments of self-searching and introspection. Because we were the only people in the theater, we were able to clap along and cheer during the passionately crafted dance scene.

What is more important is that the subtleties and nuance of the film keep one discovering narratives for days after viewing. For example, my daughter Grace excitedly noted how Christian's character is facing a spiritual crisis and that his challenges are reflective of those that many actual Christians face on a daily basis! This masterful move by Mr. Cameron truly adds a depth to the film that is not apparent upon first viewing.

Mr. Cameron also reminds us that many of the questions we ask ourselves can easily be answered. God, in all his glory, is responsible. I've found that many of my fears have eased now that I've been reminded that everything from the Christmas tree that I buy, to the food that I eat, are all part of his divine plan.

If there were any justice in this world, Mr. Cameron would receive multiple Academy Awards for this film.
