Brilliant and touching
This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
View MoreGreat story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
View MoreThe joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
View MoreThis is perhaps the greatest movie ever conceived of. I am thoroughly convinced that no movie will ever achieve the greatness that this movie did. I am also fairly certain that God created the world solely so that this movie could be made and we could watch it and bask in its glory. Every aspect of this movie, from the plot, to the writing, cinematography, and especially the acting were clearly a gift of God to the people who made this movie. The best scene by far is when Caleb and Rachel finally hold hands for the first time. That was the moment where I truly fell in love with this movie. If you have really watched this movie, you will understand that it deserves every Oscar award available, and it additionally deserves one for "Greatest Movie Ever Created." Each of the actors additionally deserve awards for their acting because they truly made the movie great. The only way we can make Hollywood great again is to make them only produce films exactly like this one: that is, this is the only film made that was worth making, so they should just keep making it over and over again.
View MoreI'm currently a Sophomore at PHC. I love the school. I also happen to be in agreement with most of this movie's political and religious philosophy.With that said, this film has many problems. The movie moves far too quickly, jumping hours in a single shot. There are also numerous stereotypes of PHC students and people who were homeschooled, from the need for "commitment" before getting in a car with a woman to proposing to the dad instead of the woman. (The latter isn't seen but is sort of implied by the final line of dialogue in the movie.)(Also, the movie is aimed at a faith-based audience. So why does it include a quick shot of a lady checking out Rachel's rear at work? That felt way out of place.)It's not the worst movie out there, for sure. But unless you're a PHC student watching this to make fun of it, odds are you'll be very disappointed.
View MoreThis low budget movie of the week reject is nothing but Christian propaganda about abortion. Every character in the film with exception to the main characters mother is pro life. Of course they are all sweat, well mannered intelligent people. The father is even a biology professor, that believes the world is only 6 thousand years old. How could you not get on board with all the people in this film. They are all so wonderful.Except for the the evil secular mother, that just happens to be lawyer fighting against parental consent. She's tearing the family apart. Always working. Passing her workload onto her son (who is going to a Christian law school). Ignoring the family. Being passive aggressive towards her sons love interest. Even eating the last piece of her sons apple pie. Oh yeah, she's also a moral relativist. EVIL! If you are an evangelical Christian, you'll probably think that this is the greatest film of all time. Even better than "Expelled". As is evident by the positive comments here. Everyone else. Take a pass.
View MoreContent was spot on.The only thing I could shake a finger at was technical. A few pregnant pauses. Sound was low for the speech in a few instances. Of course, I compare to the multi-million dollar budgets...Speaking of that, I'm buying three DVDs. One for us and one for each of our children (for our grandchildren, actually).As a conservative parent, this is perfect for the 10yr old and up. The stakes are high and the temptations are even higher. But the principled person sees the prize does not compare to the moment.As a US natural born citizen, I hold it self-evident that all men are created equal. Is life to be lived firstly for ourselves? If it were, shouldn't the founding fathers have created a government that feeds their personal interests above the interest of "the people?"
