Okay BoOgie, if you are reading this before posting your take on the movie, stop now. Continue no further. Write your review blog here, then read mine. We gotta get to posting again. I'm interested in your take. :) Love ya mann!
Well about 2wks ago, BoOgie and I took are wives to watch the movie Fireproof. I'd seen it advertised along time ago and it always looked really good. Well, it finally got to our town. It releases soon in early Jan on DVD if you missed it at the theatres. I'll be buying a copy and showing to friends and family. It is a story about a fireman who risks his life all the time to save perfect strangers but at home his marriage is "burning to the ground." An interesting twist on the topic of marriage that I don't remember seen brought to film before. Most drama films or romantic comedies bring you into a plot of two people coming together, have some struggles, and it works out in the end of the movie as a starting point for their relationship. This film shows an existing marriage that has absolutely no passion left in it, and how to regain hope and rekindle that sacred bond. It stars Kirk Cameron (Growing Pains, Left Behind, TBN, etc...) and is made by the same writers, directors, producers of Facing The Giants. It is a Christian film dedicated to keeping the vows of marriage sacred. Although it is a Christian film, non-Christians will enjoy it as well, it gives the message without being too "preachy." You will be truly blessed by watching it. Guys, sneak in some tissues, becuase there are some scenes associated to the film that may affect your allergies. Not emotions, allergies. :)
They had excellent representation of firefighters and their equipment, showed firefighters in a heroic light. Also the movie is backed up by an awesome soundtrack with some deep meaningfull songs.
I think Fireproof is a great family friendly Christian film showing a positive message of marriage in a world full of marital problems. I would warn parents there are suggestions of a character with a pornography problem, it doesn't show anything or exactly spell it out, but an adult can get the intent. It does not promote pornography, but it does show it can be a negative influence on marriage. There is some dramatic peril in some of the firefighter scenes. I highly recommend Fireproof and on the Woo Dig It scale of 1 to 10, I give it a 10!
Good job Kendrick brothers, and church team! Keep making these kinds of movies, you have my support! God Bless!!!!
