          	Title: Unbroken (2014)
          	
          	Louis Zamperini, a US Olympic track record holder, survives a plane crash during World War II, only to find himself at the mercy of nature and eventually imprisoned as a prisoner of war.
          	
          	Review:
          	
          	The story is instantly gripping, supported by high-quality cinematography and style. It feels like a big-budget film, weaving an interesting narrative that is both heart-wrenching and terrifying. At times, it is hard to watch due to the treatment he endures, but overall, it's a touching story. There are some faith-based elements, but they are minimal, which left me puzzled as to why people categorised it as a faith-based or Christian film; it felt more like just a good movie. There is also some nudity and a bit of cursing.

          	Title: Unbroken: Path to Redemption (2018)
          	
          	In this sequel, Louis Zamperini struggles to overcome the haunting memories of his time as a prisoner during World War II. Fortunately, he finds love with a woman who helps him deal with his trauma.

          	The quality of this film isn't the same as the first film, however, I enjoyed the music and the portrayal of his relationship with his wife. The depiction of post-traumatic stress from the war was well captured. Since the cast is different, it threw me off a bit, but overall, it was good. I appreciated the cinematography and the recaps, which added to the realism. I loved how they wrapped up the story.

Hi there I'm doing okay I've been doing a grief recovery course, and I've been learning a lot about how to deal and manage my grief, and how to spot the grief effects and what to do when they should a cure.
               I've also been reading my Bible and studying the word of God, that has been truly my life line through this whole mess, and it has helped me to see things more clearly 
          
          Love Erica Maples

Hey, girl! Hope you've been doing good! I had a question for you - not sure if you'd remember now cause it's been eons ago LOL But there was this Stephanie Ike sermon you'd sent me a long while back that you'd wanted me to remember. I wish I still remembered it now! It's okay if you forgot, just thought I'd ask and see. Been on my mind lately ❤︎

Eternela

@QueenMimi96 Aww definitely is ❤️

@Eternela It is! I guess that's why the Bible always talks about fellowship with other believers. It's good to have someone who understands and help each other out on their spiritual journeys. Awww you're so welcome, sis! And thank you for being that friend for me! ❤︎❤︎

I watched Joseph King of Dreams (2000)! (^.^)
          
          Synopsis:
          After his jealous brothers sell him off to merchants, Joseph grows up as a slave. However, when Joseph's ability to foresee the future through his dreams receives recognition, he rises to fame.
          
          Review:
          I watched this, thinking it would be like The Prince of Egypt. While it wasn't, I still loved it. The music was beautiful, and once I looked past the idea of it being similar to The Prince of Egypt, I enjoyed it more. I liked the choreography and storyline. Like the Prince of Egypt, it's not very accurate to the Bible, so I suggest reading the Bible before you watch this, but I would definitely recommend it. This movie is also more "kiddish," but if you look past that, you can still appreciate it. The theme of seeing Joseph go through the pits until God fulfills His promises is an encouraging message for anyone, regardless of age.
