God's Not Dead 2

There are movies and then there are movies you care enough to talk about for a while. GOD'S NOT DEAD 2 doesn't require you seeing the first one. This faith based movie is directed by Harold Cronk and may take a little time to hook you; or on the other hand release you. Christian Grace Wesley(Melissa Joan Hart) teaches high school history in the small conservative town of Hope Springs. She finds herself being grilled by the school board after answering a question from a troubled teen, Brooke Thawley (Hayley Orrantia). The question seemed innocent enough at the time; Miss Wesley compared Jesus to historical figures Gahndi and Martin Luther King, Jr. Before long she is fighting to keep her job and her First Amendment rights. Her case is reluctantly taken by a public defender, Tom Endler (Jesse Metcalfe), who really doesn't believe with her thinking. His research and courtroom savvy will get the attention of a news reporter, Amy Ryan (Trisha LaFache), who was a religious skeptic until her own fight with cancer was won. Some will find this film hackneyed, while others will feel inspiration. Take into consideration that more and more faith-based movies are being made. Hart plays her role with noticeable conviction. And Miss Orrantia is also notable. Others in the cast: Ernie Hudson, Robin Givens, Maria Canals-Barrera, Benjamin A. Onyango and Pat Boone.

There's a scene in the movie the class teacher that was in trouble for talking about Jesus in the classroom said to her Father. Whenever I prayed I used to feel His presence, hear from Him but since the court trial, I can't seem to reach or hear from Him and the father gave one of the most brilliant answer I have ever heard. He replied, you as a teacher should know this more than anyone, when the students are writing their test, does the teacher ever speak? Another Powerful one right there

So loved this movie, it gives me courage to stand firm about my faith in God.

BASED ON TRUE CHRISTIAN STORY

Just returned from seeing this movie, our family was the only one in the theater.... wonder how much of that is the poor reviews it's receiving... to be honest we put 4 movies in a hat and pulled out which one we were going to see(to appease all the different votes), after reading the views I wasn't looking forward to seeing this movie at all and when we got to the theater and the movie began I thought oh how boring..... but it turned around and I really enjoyed it in fact all of us did.... it even provoked a discussion of how God works in real life. We may not see how we affect others but always seeds are planted and all I can say is WOW!!! Go see it, don't let the negative reviews keep you away!

first i want to mention i'm an orthodox and that i could not bear to see the movie more than 30 minutes. the good guys in this move have a very puritanical presence. they seem so very calm and also seem a bit retarded. dialogues are very limited, predictable. they want to sound deep but end up laughable. i believe this movie does a great disservice to Christians. the dialogues sound like members of a sect are talking. it makes faith look very shallow and almost weird. it makes the believers look very dumb and narrow minded. lee me distill it a bit further. if i would not be a Christian i would think that Christians are a dubious sect, a little slow in the head and would look at it with doubt.
