The Blind

Wow! I loved the show Duck Dynasty. I can't say I watched every episode but I enjoyed the show very much. I never knew The Robertson's story or Phil Robertson's story for that matter. The Blind is very well written. It just goes to show that not even some of the most solid Christians out there had a great upbringing and this movie shows that. The movie tackled very well how Phil and siblings had a hard life growing up and then the movie takes it a step further and shows how Phil's childhood affected him in his younger years and how her overcame it to be the strong Man of God he is today. Just shows that no matter how far we run from God, he can always find us and bring us back to the right path.

I've only seen a couple of episodes of Duck Dynasty, but I know a little bit about the family, the Robertsons, and as a Christian was eager to see this movie The true story of Phils redemption was interesting, but nothing we haven't seen in movies before. I enjoyed learning the story of Phil and Ms. Kay, but the quality seemed a bit low budget and came off more like a Lifetime/Hallmark TV movie. The acting and directing were not the best, but what was most frustrating is the lead actors were very hard to understand and you miss a lot of the dialogue due to the accents and mumbling. Phil, especially, barely moved his lips. I couldn't understand half of what he said.

The theater said this was a special showing/production so we couldn't use our Regal Unlimited, (which would've been nice to know ahead of time) so had to pay full price, as well is traveling a bit further to one of the limited theaters it was showing at. Was it worth it? I love movies, so I'm glad I saw it, just wish it had of been a better quality of movie. IMHO! 6.5 stars 10/2023.

Reading some comments, I think some people missed the entire point of the movie, which was not to present us with cinematic perfection. However, on one point mentioned I agree with, it was hard to understand the actors at times. Subtitles might've been appropriate. Not that this takes away at all from the gospel message, of course, which is the thing that several people here in the reviews seem to miss, surprisingly even Christians are missing that point. I'm pretty sure that Phil Robertson was even worse than depicted in the movie-some things can't and shouldn't be shown I'm sure. All one has to do is observe him in real life to see that Phil Robertson was beyond quite the scoundrel at one time. So maybe the movie didn't even present the worst of it. But the gospel is what's important here and it was front and center and shining through. That was Phil's entire point. He succeeded. Or should I more accurately say God did.

Wonderful film demonstrating the redemptive love of God! The true story of Phil Robertson of "Duck Dynasty" fame. The film takes you from his destitute beginnings to "Duck Commander". The power of "burying the old man" and being born again to a new life in Jesus Christ cannot be denied. If you are trying to fill the hole in your heart with everything this world offers-you will never find true peace until you give Jesus control of your life. Try Him!!! Ask Jesus to come into your heart, find a Bible-believing church and be baptized, as shown in the movie. You will never regret it! Join the family of God-your life will be changed for eternity.

Such a beautiful picture of hope, forgiveness and redemption. It was powerful! The Robertson family could've made a movie about their fame and fortune or business success. But they chose to show the "dirty laundry" to give others hope. To show that there is no one too bad, no sin too great for the Blood of Jesus to cover. The scenery was beautiful Louisiana rivers and swamps. The acting was great. The story line was accurate. I pray that this movie might impact folks to want to hear that same story that the preacher shared with Phil. And that they might surrender to the Almighty! Highly recommend!!!
