Sharon and I just saw a wonderful, emotional movie that was based on a true story. I’m not sure why, but I always feel compelled to immediately search the internet to fact check films like this to see how much of it was real, and how much was creative license. Inevitably, I find out that many of the scenes never really happened, and even some of the characters were invented. That turned out to be true of this movie as well.
Interestingly, when I tried to tell a friend, who had also seen the film, about the departures from reality, she didn’t want to hear them. She says it will spoil the memory of the movie. She’d rather go on believing in the story as it was depicted.
Nothing wrong with that I suppose. It’s just a movie. Why not enjoy the fantasy? So long as we don’t accept a distorted version of real life. Striving for material success without a relationship with God is always going to lead to a sad ending.
Amen, so true,chasing the money instead of searching for God.
Great post and so true! Indo the same thing regarding research. Thanks for sharing!
