Movie Reviews of Billy Graham Presents: The Climb
Movie Review: Believable non preachy story line
Summary: 5 Stars
What I liked about the movie was the believable non preachy story lines. Like with the one young couple where the woman Cheryl Martin is a Christian but isn't walking the talk, who then finds she has made a poor choice and faces some hard choices. Meanwhile the man Derrick Williams is struggling with his bitterness from not having a Dad growing up, and his goal of showing the Dad he never knew that he is better than him.
Meanwhile the other climber Michael Harris, is a widower, who is also a Christian, although not an in your face type which I found very refreshing. He seeks God first and listens and in doing so avoids mistakes the other climber is making. But he never gives up on his friend whom he sees as a hurting man. He simply loves him where he is at, which is what Christ does with each of us. In the end he brings the Biblical admonition of laying down our life for a friend to life.
Mack 'Mackie' Leonard is the owner of a sporting goods store whose son the climbers have saved so he promises to fund their big climb and has promised to build a new store in an area where businesses are needed. A man who works for him tries to go behind his back to change things, and gets fired for being corrupt. I like the whole story line.
I also loved the cinematography since we are a backpacking, skiing, climbing family and never get tired of great mountain scenes. Sure, some elements of the movie may seem sappy to hardened movie goers. But for me I simply liked the story line and how in an era when so many 'Christian' movies like the Left Behind Series are so sophomoric, that this movie is mature and well thought out.
On a side note, I so appreciated seeing a black man in a serious climbing movie, because climbing and most snow sports are often shown as being activities that only whites do. Hope the movie gets more minorities interested in climbing.
