To be honest, I judged this movie before I even
saw it. I thought I understood the basic plot and premise. I told myself it was
a movie based on a miracle and events leading up to it and the aftermath. But
that is an unfair simplification of it. The film is based on a true story, but
it also tells a story about something that many people struggle with, and that
is that you can’t control the outcome of everything so that it turns out the
way you want in life. I’m sorry but it doesn’t work that way. WE need to learn
to let go of certain situations beyond our control or input and let God handle it.
I gained a lot of from this film. If anything, it just reminded me to thank ALL
the people that root for us when we fall. There is a lot of people who want to
see you fail so they can stand tall or prove themselves right. But there are SO
MANY more people who are rooting for us to get up and keep going. And I believe
that they deserve our attention much more than the ones who do the opposite. I
know that at some point or another we have all prayed for a miracle, only to
wait and wait and then not get one. Sometimes we may even ask ourselves, “Why
does God choose to save some and not others?” There is no simple answer for
that question in my opinion. This is more of a reflection on the film than a review,
I guess. I loved the movie, I hope everyone gets to go watch it. I don’t think you’ll
regret it.
