“To Save a Life” movie review
I just walked in the door from seeing, “To Save a Life” http://tosavealifemovie.com/index.php … wow. I absolutely gave this movie 2 thumbs up and would give it 3 if I had them!
This movie goes through the life of a “popular” high school male athlete who’s “best friend” until 9th grade decides to bring a gun to school, fire off a few shots with the last one going into his head. and things start to change.
I cried during this movie … a lot. It was like looking into a mirror from high school and even now as a youth pastor from the character “Chris’s” perspective. This movie hit on many topics that people face today. From drugs, alcohol, community, teen sex and pregnancy, cutting, and suicide. It’s finally a movie with Jesus at the center of it, but not all cheesed out like everything is perfect. This movie is full of “broken” people, some of whom realize they can’t do it alone, some that don’t get the chance.
A much needed reality for everyone to see. I strongly recommend everyone see this movie, even more so if you have a teenager. But don’t just watch it and then say, “oh that was nice.” Go home, go get coffee, just sit in the parking lot and discuss it. We live in a broken and hurting world, this movie may need to be seen twice. Once with you and once with a friend that needs to meet Jesus.
