  Therese

  by Birdy

  This is the true story of Saint Therese of Lisieux, an ordinary girl with an extraordinary soul. This movie is so beutiful, so strong and so accurate that it has been endorsed by the Vatican.
  
  Saint Terese's story has already touched so many hearts through her autobiography and now there is an inspirational movie out that will reach to even more. I also have to mention the sets and costumes; the sets were based on photographs taken by terese's sister, Celene, and were exact right down to the cruxifix's and candles. Some of the costumes were actually 100 year old clothes from the period!
  
  "Therese gives us hope. We live in a secular world, trapped by our materialistic frenzied lives; powerless to give up our comfortable homes, our ears or even cigarettes. Therese's message is that God wants to meet us right where we are and that we are not trapped. He is accessable to anyone who seeks Him. Therese exemplifies confidence in the mercy of God, Who loves us so much that He will do all the work, providing strength and perseverence for us to find true happiness."
  Saint Therese of Lisieux, pray for us.
  
  (Speaking of preying to saints, it is a common misunderstanding that Catholics worship the saints. Catholics honor saints - we thank God for the gifts He has given them and ask them to prey for us. It is like asking a friend to pray for you when you have a problem. The saints are simply friends in heaven; they are very close to God and know His will. Saint Therese has performed many miraclese from heaven, known because they are accompanied with the scent or gift of roses. She said herself, "I want to spend my heaven doing good on earth."

  Amazing Grace

  by Birdy

  I have to mention that this story happened before the American Civil War. The reason that is important is because "Amazing Grace" is a true story about the abolition of slave trade in England. It is a wonderful story but it gave me a sad recognition that the Civil War was not needed to end slavery. (It was all a lie made up by Lincoln to rally soldiers to fight for his cause. The Confederates were not for slavery, but for states' rights)
  
  Anyway, when it comes to history, this movie is supposedly accurate. When it comes to believeability, the reactions of the characters as they go through the plot gives you a unique connection. When it comes to entertainment, I, at leasty, was wowed. I had really high expectations for this movie, having recently fallen in love with period dramas. I compared it to "Glory", my all time favortie, as I watched it; I was impressed by this film'srawness and beauty.
  
  William Wilderforce was an incredible man. I would have liked it if there were more vvid images regarding slaves to give more impact, but of course, leaving it a PG attracts more audiences and there is no need to be grossed out! :P
  
  In short, I absolutely loved it! It makes me sad that all it takes to end something like slavery is one brave, strong person and the bloodshed of our Civil War turned from honorable to nothing but shame.

  Glory

  by Birdy

  This movie absolutely made my heart melt. Not only was it very entertaining but also informative. I really learned a lot while my heart swelled inside of me. It is not just a war movie, its a wonderful story of the growth of a man who "gave his life for a race". Colonel Robert Gould Shaw is now one my heroes.
  

  
  I love how you see Shaw grow as a person. At first, he is unable to connect with his black soldiers. He pushes his regiment to its greatest because he knows the horrors of war and the importance of discipline. He also knows that the success of the regiment will change the way Americans view African-Americans. Near the end of the movie , Shaw finally gains respect for his soldiers, earning their respect in return.
  

  
  It amazes me that such a great, moving film whose main characters are such big names as Denzel Washington, Morgan Feeman and Matthew Broderick can be so under-rated and unknown!
  This movie is able to give you a connectiong with the characters that is very refreshing.
  

  
  Even though the ending is terribly sad, I could watch this movie a hundred times!
  The power of Glory will stay with me forever.

  Hey, you should really see this! It's a true story about the bravery of Colonel Shaw (who was only 23) and his 54th Massachusetts African American Regiment in the Civil War.
  
  It really is good, I'd hate for you to miss out on it. I never knew anything about him before but now I love Colonel Shaw for his views and his courage, I think he was an amazing man!
  
  Rated R for bloody violence. So, besides blood and war violence (which is in only 3 or 4 scenes) this movie is clean of other crude stuff...which I detest! I mean, it's not even as bloody as any of the recent war movies. XP
  
  And its not only about the war, it has a wonderful story inbetween all that. Oh, it makes me want to cry just thinking about it! But its a happy sadness, a proud one. It makes me really appreciate the sacrifices made by our forefathers so we can live our lives in peace and freedom. It makes me wish that there were more brave men like Shaw today. :(
