Ever since I can remember, I have been obsessed with movies. From superhero Marvel movies, to classics such as The Shawshank Redemption, to hidden gems like Warrior, I genuinely love watching movies. However, while I very often rate movies here on IMDb, I have NEVER left a written review because I know that whatever I was going to say will have already been said by hundreds, if not thousands of others. But after watching this documentary, I felt urged to write a review because 1) this movie needs to be seen by EVERYBODY, 2) I don't care if someone has already said the things I'm going to say, this documentary deserves it.
I do not watch that many documentaries. In fact, I can probably count on one hand the amount of docs I have seen; so the fact that I watched this was somewhat of a miracle. It was recommended to my YouTube feed three times, so I finally decided to at least click on it to see what it was about. I was hooked instantly.
I don't know if it was the raw emotion right out of the gates by Justin, or if it was the editing of the beginning, but I started watching and could not stop. As a senior in college, I have a lot of things on my plate that I am juggling - and spending an hour just sitting and watching a video is not one that typically takes priority. However, after 2 minutes of watching, I forgot about everything else. I was even late to a meeting because I completely lost track of time.
I realize I have not really said a single thing about the movie, but honestly that's a good thing because you should just experience it for yourself. My Brother Jordan is an amazing documentation of brothers and family and love. I am so thankful that this documentary was randomly recommended to me, because it reminded me of all the blessings that God has provided me and how I should never take things for granted.
Give this a watch. It is only an hour long ... but if you are like me, you will want to watch it more than once. Fantastic documentary.
