I want to write my thoughts on this documentary movie purely from an entertainment perspective, then I am gong to write in my other blog about my experience. This is one of the most motivational movies I have seen in a long time. It is very uplifting and to me was very entertaining. I enjoyed each of the six stories presented, and each had an internal effect on my heart. I could empathize with all of the individuals presented. I really enjoyed the liveliness of the bishop. The strength of character of the football coach who has overcome anger, the endurance of the kick boxer and her husband, the lawyer but they pursue their love of martial arts, the service of the candy bomber. I found lots of strength and wisdom in this story, especially some of this comments of this 92 year old man that he made to a group of young people. The story of the humanitarian was incredibly done. I like they way he combined his culture and his religion. You don't give up who you are when you become a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. You just add Christ's love to who you are. The last story, of the missionary mother I found the most moving. Her is the story of a teen mother. She had two babies with her boyfriend, who did not stay. Her second baby passed away. She was so hurt. She had been visiting with the missionaries, and by the slimmest margin found the support she needed. The story of her husband, would have been equally as intriguing. This film shows them saying goodbye to their oldest as he serves a mission.
If you are a member of the church, I recommend this movie. You will find it uplifting and moving. If you are not a member of the church, I would again recommend this movie. You will find it insightful and educational. You will also be moved and inspired by these stories. I think you will have a greater love for the Savior. I also know the stories will inspire you to be a better person, to love more, to serve more to do your best.
The David Archuleta song at the end is also very inspiring;
Glorious
There are times when you might feel aimless
You can't see the places where you belong
But you will find that there is a purpose
It's been there within you all along
and when you're near it
You can almost hear it.
It's like a symphony just keep listening
And pretty soon you'll start to figure out your part
Everyone plays a piece and there are melodies
In each one of us, oh, it's glorious
You will know how to let it ring out
as you discover who you are
Others around you will start to wake up
To the sounds that are in their hearts
It's so amazin', what we're all creatin'
It's like a symphony just keep listenin'
And pretty soon you'll start to figure out yo part
Everyone plays a piece and there are melodies
In each one of us, oh, it's glorious
And as you feel the notes build
You will see
It's like a symphony just keep listenin'
And pretty soon you'll start to figure out yo part
Everyone plays a piece and there are melodies
In each one of us, oh, it's glorious
