Second Samuel

Great movie, tells a great story and the director did a wonderful job. Amazing acting as well. Definitely would recommend to anyone looking for a good watch!!!

This is a wonderful movie from Pamela Parker's play Second Samuel. A story set in the past but perfect for today! Take the time to watch it today.

Second Samuel invites us to consider what community really means and how our own traditions and personal biases can erode its true definition. Carried out on a familiar southern backdrop in days gone by, it's amazing to see the parallels to life as we know it today. The film illustrates how our differences can unite and divide us at the same time, which is a sentiment that speaks ever so loudly in light of recent events.

The main character of the film is an unlikely hero whose unapologetic love for his fellow man proves to be a refreshing change to the traditional superhero figures of today's films. Raw, youthful, and untainted kindness and respect shine through as superpowers and I was certainly along for the hero's journey.

Everything about this film from what was caught on screen to the passion, faith, and hope of its filmmakers makes this film a must-see. If you're looking for a film with a heart of gold, look no further. Second Samuel truly shines.

Set in the 1949 south, this film captures the foibles, prejudices, and complicated relationships that have long marked this region. It also captures one of the realities of small town life - you know your neighbors so well that you're able to weigh what you like about them against what you don't like. Sometimes you just come to accept the bad with the good and you realize that's ok. The film is both entertaining and thought-provoking, a fitting combination during these trying times.

This movie had a nice balance of humor and serious content. The greatest part of the movie is the conversations around judgement and acceptance. Even though this was set in 1949, some of the issues discussed in this movie still exist today. It makes you take a step back and recognize your own prejudices. B-Flat was great as a narrator--he didn't cover up any of his thoughts or what he was feeling. I will say, it did start off a little slow, but that didn't make the movie any less valuable. When I watched the movie a second time, I enjoyed it so much more! Wait until you find out about Miss Gertrude...the suspense!
