bruce C @bruce999 Aug 3 a police officer loses a son, and is about to lose another son. i did not care for this movie. ...no real emotion. and just because someone has the right blood type, does not mean they should be expected to give their kidney to help anyway,... i'd look for something else See more Slingin P. @RT47851171 Nov 1 Best faith based movie ever made. See more 11/20/2020 This is a movie that reminded me that God is bringing everything together for a bigger why. Just need to walk step by step and know there is a why that is blessed his power. It starts with asking forhoveness and to let the love shine. Love the grace card! See more 06/28/2020 What a wonderful, timely discussion of race in the church (and outside). The acting is great and the dialogue is honest (though directed towards a Christian audience). The medical aspects are not believable (among other things: why not dialysis? kidney transplants are not emergent), but non-healthcare professionals might not notice. Thankful for the discussion of grace to reconcile people of all walks. See more 06/28/2020 What a wonderful, timely discussion of race in the church (and outside).

It had a good intentioned message of grace, but the film missed the mark for me. Mac was blatantly racist throughout the movie (which does not mean he doesn't deserve forgiveness) but the movie failed to show him facing the consequences of his actions (for instance, when he chased the suspect at the beginning of the movie and went berserk, in real life he most likely would've gotten at least a suspension because of that), and learning how to change his ways. The bible tells us we should always be graceful and forgive, but that does not excuse sinners from punishment and a correction of ways, neither of which were shown in Mac's story arch. Secondly, this film really shows the importance of having representation in the writers room, as you can only write from your own perspective, so it is important to have people who can relate to the story and make sure the portrayal of the characters and the storyline is more realistic, and authentic to an actual person of color's experience. This is shown in GLEE. There were lgbtq+ writers on the writing team, and that rendered a good portrayal of gay characters on the show. Meanwhile there were no people of color in the writing room which rendered their storylines related to struggles with racism to be lacking in authenticity. This by no means means that white writers should not write people of color, representation is very important and is needed in both film and television, it just means that writers should consult people with different perspectives and make sure they are creating an accurate portrayal of the perspective of people of color.
