My husband and I took a chance, going to the area premier of an unknown film, Finding Home. What a delightful surprise, on so many levels. The scenery was beautiful, the story and actors captivating, but best of all, it was a breath of fresh air in a dry and thirst land. There were real life consequences to people's choices rather than Hollywood gloss-overs. There was a powerful portrayal of the difference between what is commonly called 'love' in our culture, and true, mature love. There was the look at core values , shaken up and requiring examination, the message of forgiving as we ourselves need to be forgiven, the benefit of learning from the mistakes of others rather than repeating them.Like my favorite author, Dickens, all this was done without preachiness or heavyhandedness, but instead, through the story, the choices of the characters, and the results of those choices. Bravo! More movies like this could change our culture, causing us to think rather than follow blindly like sheep, and to have a more realistic view of life and its choices than Hollywood currently offers us.
