#Courageous resolution print free movie#
Adam's choice in the movie was to draw up The Resolution. We can retreat into the dark recesses of drugs and alcohol, we can retreat into the hermit's life of isolation and depression, among many other horrible outcomes we tend to choose for ourselves. There are many ways to handle a shock to one's system when these tragedies occur. We realize exactly what we could have done better- what we may have missed out on. The glimmering veneer we place over aspects of our lives so that the reflection comes back the way we want to see them is completely stripped away and what we are left with is a psychologically nude snapshot of ourselves. I'll try not to spoil anything if you are reading this but have yet to see the film, but in the face of our biggest fears, when our deepest nightmares come true, we get a unvarnished glimpse directly into our own souls- particularly our shortcomings. "The Resolution" was written by the main character "Adam" (who is also the producer- Alex Kendrick) when he has one of the worst tragedies that can befall a man. "The Resolution" really hit home with me. There are many places you can read about the storyline of the movie but there was one particular aspect that really hit me where it was designed to, where it was meant to leave a mark. I had my 9 year old daughter hugging on my left side as my beautiful wife clutched my right hand.
This movie had all 7 of us simultaneously tearing up and laughing all together.
Considering their most recent release, they are improving by leaps and bounds. This is the fourth movie produced by Sherwood Pictures, a Baptist ministry out of Albany, GA. This was one of those, and tonight, I was looking forward to it. There is a soft spot in my heart for unapologetic movies that unashamedly proclaim our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ as the Son of God. Tonight, the stars were aligned and I was saying to myself as I cuddled up on the couch between my two favorite girls on this planet and my boys littered over the remaining living room furniture- Bring the Dogmatism On Baby! I was not disappointed. Cameron, I loved ya in Growing Pains tho) To be fair, you need to be in the right mood for that type of dogmatism, for it takes a particular frame of mind to deal with.
Also, I found out that this was the same outfit that produced "Fireproof" it wound up getting turned off about 30 minutes into the movie because the acting and writing was pretty nauseating. A movie's writing better be good or I'm out. First of all, I'm not much of a movie guy. I finally watched the movie "Courageous" for the first time this evening.
