True Happily Ever After: The Song Movie Review

 

I have seen all the things that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind. Ecclesiastes 1:14

 

This week I had the blessing of celebrating my 3 year anniversary with my amazing husband.

What makes him amazing isn't that he is perfect, but that he is perfect for me. These 3 years have brought about their share of challenges. We are constantly faced with the reminder that we must love without limits. The night before our anniversary God led me to have a serious heart to heart with my husband about things that I had been holding onto for the last 2 years. In doing this I was able to start the journey of forgiveness which made our anniversary absolutely amazing.

For our anniversary we spent the entire day together and I already had in mind a movie I wanted to see called The Song. Although very few theatres actually showed the movie, we managed to find one and made it to the first showing of the day.

The moving was amazing. I'm not an expert on doing movie reviews so I will do my best to share with you the essence of the film. I actually really like how Kathleen did her review of Left Behind, so why reinvent the wheel?

Here is my review

Did the movie bring out any emotions in me? Absolutely! Coming up on 3 years of marriage, I found myself really needing to do a marriage check. Well, this movie really made me do just that. It made me really think about my interactions with my husband and how they impact him. I felt a sense of compassion throughout the entire movie regarding her relationship with her father as it reminded me much of my relationship with my father.

Did the movie have some kind of lesson or message to share? I believe it did but the great thing about this movie is how you interpret it will be based on where you are in your marriage. One thing I think it really showed was that marriage is a gift and the enemy is always after the gift because he is more aware of its value then we are.

Did I leave the movie caring about the characters? Not only did I leave caring about the characters, but I left having a new perspective regarding MY marriage. Watching the characters and their challenges made me take a good look at the wife that I had been the past 2 years to the husband God had blessed me with. As I thought of each character, I couldn't help but take mental notes the entire time. I began to realize that making it through challenging times in your marriage and finding a way to forgive is TRUE Happily Ever After.

 

I give this movie two thumbs up. Its biblical story line based on the story of King David with a modern day spin really helped me to see how the Bible is as true today as it was 2000 years ago. I am grateful that I have learned to share the reality that my marriage isn't perfect. It is in need of checkups often, but I can say with a grateful heart that I love my husband and the only other place I'd rather be beside with him is with my Heavenly Father.
