Karla Faye Tucker: Forevermore

This moving is an amazing movie and it teaches the real meaning of love and that Love is God for God only has true love and those who accept it and are willing to walk with that love will earn it. God's love saved us and in this movie it shows how this women is just filled with the love of God and how her face is shining so bright there is nothing greater then the love of God. True love never dies but worldly love will eventually die. God loves sinners but hate sins we all live in sin we have no right to throw someone to hell all judgments are in God's hands this women deserves forgiveness if we don't forgive her God will not forgive us. God is a just God. God bless this women she is a bride of Christ she has entered the kingdom of heaven has a warrior because she fought what life she lived she repented from her sins she was sorry for what she has done, great example of the Love of GOD. Jesus IS LOVE HE PROVED THAT ON THE CROSS.....

It does not take a genius to understand that it is due to churchgoers that this movie is rated more than one star. It is truly terrible in all aspects. Impossible not to laugh throughout it, especially at the execution scene. Praise the bored!

And this is probably why they don't use much prison dialect in soap operas simply because it is too boring. Not worth watching

I have to say when I read Karla's story, saw an episode of 'Law & Order' loosely based on it and found a movie had been done I thought it might be from the Lifetime network. After 2003's 'Monster', I didn't expect 'Forevermore' to play fair with the rules governing convicted female killers. This film doesn't feature a big star playing the titular role or go into the fictional realm. It does however play up it's religious, romantic and redemption themes to the hilt.

Crusty female "Prison Official" (writer, director Helen Gibson) makes a pass at preacher Dana Brown (Kenny Jezek), but his heart belongs to one woman. Convicted murderer Karla Faye Tucker (real life wife Karen Jezek) aka "pickax killer". Thru meetings, correspondence he falls in love with a soul he feels has been reborn into a higher spiritual power. Their bond becomes deeper, they marry as public sentiment, support grows as she awaits execution on death row until that fateful day and the aftermath is all that remains.

There's a lot of positivity is the nice way of saying things. Contrived scenes where Karla is shown to have changed thru the involvement of the lord & even the most hardened faces like prison lady soften their stance. Murky flashbacks hint to a time when Karla was on the wrong path making bad decisions. Obviously downplaying the murders (they're not shown) little mention of gruesome details. Choosing to focus on the bitter criminal justice system faces looking to impose a cruel sentence. Falling in love, talk of God. Get used to seeing her prison "cell", people laying on beds, sitting in offices for the majority of the 2 hour runtime.

Religious motivational speakers in prison, Karla's holy transformation, uplifting music. Not only am I the wrong audience for 'Forevermore' but I strongly disliked, disagreed with it's point of view. There's talk to be had about the death penalty and whenever it's right or wrong, but it seems people only get bent of shape when a woman is involved.

Karla Faye Tucker is proof that God can move in mysterious ways, and that He is a loving and forgiving God. When I first saw this on TBN I was tired, and about to head to bed, but something told me to watch it so I did. Through out the film I couldn't look away from the TV, and by the time the credits rolled I was in tears. Her story can soften even the hardest of hearts! The cast was spectacular, it wasn't your "corny Christian"(I'm a Christian and I admit there are some out there that are corny) movie, very professional, and very well acted. You see her life while in prison, how she has changed since giving her life to Jesus. But unlike some movies they don't hide away from the facts, the flashbacks back to 1983 were done quite well. Karen Jezek did an excellent job in portraying Karla, from the looks, to body language, everything was fantastic. She really showed that it wasn't just a character she was portraying, it was a real life woman who had a hard life since childhood. The story shows to non-Christian's that God is real, and He loves everyone no matter what they've done in their lives. It also shows Christians that if God can forgive someone like Karla, how much more should we forgive and accept others who differ from us? Also if we step out of our "comfort zone" look at who we could reach with the message of God's love. Had it not been for people who loved God and wanted to help people like Karla on death row, she might not have found God, and her story wouldn't be as big as it is. All in all, this movie is a must see for everyone!

RIP Karla, you are missed by many!
