Play the Flute

Play TheFlute is on YouTube! 6-25-3022 - Haven't watched it yet; saved it to watch when I am done watching The Case For Christ movie - also on YouTube!

The young actors did a good job; most of them. But, the interpretation of the scripture from which the title is taken, Matthew 11:16-17, was wholly inaccurate. When Jesus wants to illustrate the "kingdom of heaven" he uses those exact words. These scriptures were illustrating the generation, those who are witnessing the events but don't understand their meaning. In verses 18 and 19, our Lord talks about John the Baptist and Himself in the light of being seen but not understood. This generation wants us to act and to think as as they do, refusing to see and to hear the truth of our lives in Christ.

I wish I could buy this movie! Hopefully that will be an option sometime in the future. I would give it 15 stars if i could. I watched it several nights ago at a nearby church & I was blown away! It is so awesome! I havent seen a movie that touched me like this one did, in decades. My hat is off to all involved! I would say more, but I don't want to give anything away. Thank you for such an enjoyable experience! In a world that has become so full of darkness, this was a fantastic glimpse of God's grace that so many people need to find. Thank you Jesus! 🙏

Play the Flute is less intending to entertain as challenge the viewer. It is well written, well paced and well developed. In general the main character is designed to be modeled rather than be relatable, but the everyday struggles faced by the teenagers are where the relatability can be found. I, as a general rule prefer that strong, selfless lead character (ex Captain America) over the troubled, relatable heroes that find redemption in their own strength (ex Iron Man), because such redemption is based on a lie. God is glorified through Play the Flute first and foremost, and it is refreshing to find people investing in movies that have more of a purpose than to make a quick buck. I highly recommend this movie for teens and adults and caution for younger kids based on the content of the films main conflict. It was handled very tastefully but inquisitive young minds will likely be asking questions trying to delve into conversations you may not have wanted to discuss yet.

Spider Man faded - I cried. They shot Ole Yellow - I cried End of Toy Story - I didn't cry Generally, I rate a movie experience by the impact it has on me emotionally. Some make me mad that I wasted my time (Caddy Shack 2), others leave me pumped up and ready to take on the world (Braveheart). I movie that can bring me to tears is a 10. Let me just say that the crisis in this movie is all too real. It speaks to every person. Whether you are a Christian or not you will find this movie thought provoking, entertaining and you may even catch yourself wiping away a few tears as you identify with one or more of the well developed characters.
