I just hope that in all of this, Will understands that JESUS died, and that was more than enough. And because he died, we are to "put on Christ." That means that we take on His heart, His eyes, His ears, His mind....hold up, I think I got a word!

I enjoyed Not easily broken. It didn't invoke lust at all. well not for me, because I realize that men play basketball with their shirts off, and all that flying sweat, and bodies hitting the gryound is just..um..yuck.
Next, the movie really showed how things in marriages can knock us down to the ground, and how ANYTHING can happen when you do not keep GOD first.
If there was suchathing as the Victim role...It would be awarded to the Morris, because his wife was nothing nice. Doesn't excuse his part...but definitely the victim role.

jasmine do you think that a husband and wife that are saved and and in counseling (with a pastor who's a counselor) would benefit or be harmed by going to see not easily broken together? do you think it would stimulate honest discussion or would it do more harm than good or does it depend on why they're in counseling? (side note, it's not because of infidelity)

I was planning to go see it today while the stinkers are at school but it doesn't start playing until the afternoon. So I gotta go on Friday night I guess.

(side note, it's not because of infidelity) I think if the couple were to see the movie, they should first know that this movie is for entertainment, in addition to providing positive messages about keeping Christ as the center of your marriage. Whatever issues they maybe presently dealing with and facing, most likely the movie will invoke a discussion about the movie. (which is two people being knocked down by the weight of the world, because they have neglected both their relationship, and their relationship with Christ) It's going to be up to that couple to be honest with each other to say if we don't get it together, we may end up in a situation like this. |

Why did they release all of these movies around Christmas? Makes me think it was a conspiracy to steal the Christmas spirit!!! ;D Studios release what they consider their most prestigious (epics and dramas) at the end of the year because movie goers and Academy voters have short memories. Both the studios and the films' producers want their movies to be remembered when voting and nominations are made for the Oscars in February. People are more likely to recall and nominate a movie they saw in December vs. one they saw earlier in the year and can barely remember. Will Smith releases his dramas (Pursuit of Happyness and Seven Pounds) in December but his action films in summer, typically around the July 4th holiday. Thanks Ybrown, but the question was rhetorical. |

Okay I went to see Not Easily Broken today and I loved it.
I had read a critic's review of the movie and he said it didn't flow and it wasn't a good story line or wasn't cohesive or something. They need to stop. I had no problem following the story and there were no holes as the so called critic claimed.
But I will say this. That Morris Chesnut could pass for my nephew! Why does that man look exactly like my oldest nephew?! OMG I'd never noticed it before!
But antywho. I loved the movie. The last scene I thought was my favorite.
I also think every couple should go see it. I think that any woman who thinks she's strong and who has a close relationship with her mother and "values her mother's opinion" should definitely go see the movie. She might see herself on the screen and repent. That goes for any female who listens to third parties and then allows it to shape her attitude toward her man. If Morris' character had been like his friend, he woulda DOGGED HER. I didn't read the book and I won't. But I recommend the movie.

I actually preferred the book over the movie, because it was more detailed. I am an avid book reader, so when I watched the movie, I knew what was missing. What WAS added, was the "mother" she didn't have that much of a voice in the book. |
