Bout to watch #Overcomer for the first time, let's see how this goes...
Okay, strong start. This is literally a whole new level for #Christian films right here, from a cinematic standpoint.
Not sure if this is a better movie from a story standpoint, but this is the best directed #Christian film I have ever seen.
What must not be lost is that this is a grand cinematic achievement for #Christian entertainment
Messaging on marriage, Slight Overcome Spoilers
Spotting some potentially damaging messaging here. Husband flies off the handle, rages at wife. The wife has to come back and flatter him before he apologizes.
Esp. when it cones to the reality of how isolated and sheltered the audience tends to be, this could present a damaging message to the audience. The onus shouldn't be on the woman to coerce the man to apologize for what he does wrong.
Yes, the woman was at fault. For her part, she wasn't being very understanding. But nothing she did deserved the backlash she received. Even so, she should just apologize, no need to grovel.
Maybe I'm being too sensitive on this point but it just seems off to me. Am I wrong for noticing this?
