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!

It is a very inspiring movie. Certainty as a Christian movie it presents good conservative moral values. The actors play a very strong and convincing role. Maybe the scenery and the script is simple but the message is strong and it reaches the heart and tha attention during the full movie. It would have been interesting that the stories narrated by the main character could be dramatized this would be for me the only lack in the movie. Very recommended for a reflection in these days of so squeeze moral values. A strong call for the relevance of speaking the truth and being trustworthy. Bible is also enhanced as the trustful word of God.

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.

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.

What a beautiful movie!

I am left with this teaching, from minute 24:28 that tells his students, not to let money lead the way, and it reminded me of St. Augustine's phrase: "Right is right even if no one does it, wrong is wrong even if everyone does it".

Elegance has nothing to do with sophistication or extravagance, but with refinement and simplicity: "Less is more". Refined has nothing to do with what we think it is, it's just something of beautiful simplicity, uplifting to the spirit. I like films that are relaxed and unpretentious, and this one achieves that. I liked its costumes, makeup and locations, I felt good watching it. I am not a Christian, I have my own spiritual beliefs, but I have a lot of respect for these brothers and all the work they do. I have consumed throughout my life a lot of Christian cinema, from movies from the 70s, 80s and 90s. And I started watching them again about 5 years ago, I have seen that Christian cinema has become very good and worth watching. Hallie, Miracle Maker, The letter writer, Charly, 2002, etc. They have become elegant in their films and refined in their messages. This movie made me cry and you empathize with all the characters. Very good.
