I Believe

This movie teaches us to have the faith of a child with an adorable little boy as the lead. Brian shows us what it is to have faith and not let go of it. I agree the acting was not academy award winning, not even close, but I love what this film stands for. God used the child to perform miracles and bring people to Him. Mark 11:24 says that whatever you ask for in prayer believe it and it shall be yours. I loved this heartwarming movie.

I Believe Movie Review "I Believe" is a Christin film from 2017 and it centers around a nine year old named Brian who claims to supernatural encounter with God and he resolves to learn more about Christianity despite the wishes of his father who is and Atheist newscaster. When my mom and I first watched this movie my mother described the ending as well as the film overall as hokey or as more artificial and hard to believe. I had to agree with this description since God was presented in a way that once Brian prayed to God, God would immediately answer the prayer and perform a miracle or place a sign. Which as we know is not a very typical occurrence in normal life.

However, the film definitely has merit in it's inspiring portrayal of Brian being a believer who never backs down from his beliefs. I also think that the film is also balanced by showing Brian and his father being at odds to represent how some families are divided by religion. The film has attitude awareness by seeming to cater to simpler demographic of young children or unbelting people. The film also shows the dignity of the human person by treating the characters in the movie that believe in God well by healing them and showing them respecting others. The film is truth filled by portraying accurate statues of Jesus and a few churches. One of the main things in the film that I thought were skillfully developed was the lighting effects which would change to represent God performing miracles. The plot point that Brian's dad was an atheist is more relevant to my experiences because I went to public high school and there were students who were atheist.

I watched the Christian movie I believe, and I found it to be thoroughly enchanting. The acting maybe isn't going to win any academy awards, but the story is really wonderful. It reminds all of us that God loves each person very much and He is still performing miracles everyday. All we have to do is say..... I believe.

7.0 stars.

It's not the best movie about God, but it stirs some feelings anyway. The story is of a boy who is introduced to Jesus as he's reading some Bible verses on the side of a church and he instantly believes everything he reads. His dad and mom are basically atheists and all of the people in his life are too, so he's sort of alone in this new religion that he's found.

The part where he's alone in Los Angeles with no other Christians around is a bit far fetched. There are Christians everywhere in the real world. So the boy finds some consolation at a local church nearby, and then miracles happen around him. That's the story and it's really good at that point, but then it takes a strange turn.

Seems the main actor is the dad, even though the protagonist is the boy. It's hard to tell, however the dad character was not the most effective actor.

The last 30 minutes are dumb. The script puts a gangster spin on it and it appears the adversary a.k.a. The devil, is part of some gangster underworld, or maybe he's not him, but it seems like him. Or was he one of the upper guys who run the media corporations that own the TV station? I can't tell, but either way, this movie went beyond the boundaries of normal. Nevertheless, it had some really heartfelt miracle moments.

Accidentally started watching on YouTube. I'm a believer, but find most Christian movies are not very well done. Being a long time foreign film watcher and having seen so many well acted movies I am spoiled. But now I am trying to get away from the darkness and R ratings. The acting in this is often wooden, and the script is not that great. But the little boy, even though he is not a great actor, brings a sweetness to the film. And Wilfred Brimley as the laid back down to earth pastor is endearing, as is the bookstore owner. It is simplistic and non-believers will probably laugh but I liked it.
