I Believe

This movie was poorly acted, unrealistic in all things I'm not talking about the miracles. A few examples: a little boy who roams the city alone, the things they study in school/homework, then throw in the poor acting with the first miracle I was like really???? I just wanted to watch a heartfelt movie that was appropriate for kids to watch, but this did not hold my interest, even my kids aged 10 and 13 didn't think much of it.

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.

I loved this movie and shed buckets of tears while watching it but I am dying of cancer so that may have been a factor.

I also loved Wilford Brimley's pastor in it, always a favourite character actor and glad to see his image redeemed after his creepy role in The Firm.

Reviews on this movie will be mixed I'm sure - or maybe just a lot of 1s and a lot of 10s. I noticed a few flaws but I didn't let it spoil the experience for me. Can't wait to watch it again before my rental time runs out - wish I'd bought it instead.

Still might . . .

Don't listen to the hater reviews, didn't watch the movie, just hate all things God. This is a good movie with an adorable lead in the little boy with glasses. The story is good. The direction is solid. We loved it. Best thing, you can watch it with the whole family! MUST SEE TV!
