This movie is about character and attitude. To my surprise as I reflected on the movie afterward the coach's (Kurt Russell) line "It's your choice" suddenly became pivotable. This story is told to emphasize that single concept.
Scott Murphy is disappointed and discouraged. He is given by vision a chance to relive the times and decisions around the football game during which he received permanent injury. The jury was not only physical but psychological. Prior to the vision he blames the loss of his dreams and opportunities on the call by the coach on "the fateful play". By extension, he blamed Coach Hand.
By means of the vision, he realized he had made the decision and accepted the results as worth the cost.
As I realized the significance of the line "It's your choice" I recalled another pivotal instance in which Christ prayed to His Father in heaven knowing the coming consequences of that decision would be costly. I imagine He also was told, "It's your choice" and accepted the results as worth the cost.
I hope to enjoy this series as much as my surprise that it existed for two seasons.
Reminding me greatly of the short-lived series of Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist which followed years later with song and dance.
We can all benefit from stories of faith.
Granted I read this series 20 years ago, but I find the storyline and significant events true to the series. No doubt those who have not read the books, might find these reviews by advocates of the books to be shallow and unforgiving of the needs of cinematographers to cover a vast universe in intricate detail. Admittedly I loved the storytelling precisely for the rich tapestry of detail, but this does not diminish my joy in the story told anew onscreen.
I am thrilled to see another Zoey on another musical adventure. The most perfect Christmas is the one that engages now.
Sometimes I think of changing times when old ways are replaced with new, but seldom do I realize this time, the one we are fortunate to witness is also a time of change.
Because I witnessed the old and wish to hold on to familiar ways, I am seeing change with little hope. This is a mistake.
Though new replaces old, we are each responsible to enthuse hope.
Rarely do I see movies well written and well played which demonstrate such love and respect for all characters portrayed. This movie hits that mark.
Genuine dilemmas of heart and character addressed without cheap virtue-signaling or high minded social justice. Prejudices are exposed as character choices individuals make and resolved individually.
We are refined by pain and struggle.
This story encourages while it hurts.
Excellent illustration of life during WWII in England. Not glamorized or over dramatized, just a view from ordinary people.
Favorite line from movie: "there is no best time to tell the truth"
Turns out this is central theme of the story, occurring in almost every relationship which creates emphasis on the message.
Tied some historical facts in a work of fiction. I was concerned the theme of redemption would turn out to be only physical, making the moral superficial.
I was not expecting a thriller.
How totally frightening to have no one to trust, to be isolated and surrounded by treachery.
I am so excited to discover another series which places emphasis of positive relationships and encourages maturity.
The ending is not as satisfying as I hoped.
Upon reflection, the will made stipulations which made the inheritance bait to encourage the brothers to overcome family dysfunction which I believe was the father's desire.
Delightful movie. Casting is perfect. Dialog superb.
Flesh cannot understand spirit because flesh is selfish.
I love the message of love, growth, acceptance, and maturity in this story. Every struggle, every obstacle provides each a new opportunity to grow closer to our CREATOR and each other, thus exhibiting the maturity of Christ.
This has been one the most exciting and wonderful series I have ever watched. I love the character development and the amazing extraordinary song choices.
If the level of creativity can continue I will anxiously waiting for every episode of another extraordinary season.
This show demonstrates a sincere respect for our military and their families without glossing over pain, struggles, and difficulties. This series is filled with believable characters and situations leading to greater maturity and distinction.
Sadly it aired during a period when administration, media and public opinion together openly worked to destroy our military and military traditions.
I am so disappointed this is the last episode. This series has been rich in lessons of maturity. A trait absent in most television and movie writing.
Unremarkable and almost entirely unrelated to Dragonheart
I hope the story is not at end
honesty with oneself is sometimes harder than honesty with others.
we need friends willing to give an honest reflection and by the exposure we can grow toward maturity.
compromise meaning agreement not scuttled can be good for all parties.
Discussion requires honesty and forthrightness by all parties. Deception is harmful to everyone.
