Movie Reviews of Charly
Movie Review: Sweet
Summary: 4 Stars
I had to knock off a star for false doctrine(s) (we are NOT married in Heaven) and we all know had Charly not converted, Sam, being the true believing Mormon he was, would not have married her. One HAD to change for the other (that other being Charly) if they were ever to marry instead of Sam just accepting her for who she was, but at least Charly truly did believe. I do think Sam was very naive thinking Charly, not being a Christian was still a virgin even after being "practically engaged" to a non-Christian man (which I am assuming he is, though there are many Christians who choose to shack up and call each other fiance/fiancee when there is not any wedding date set, just to make it sound better), but Sam IS a Utah Mormon. We will not hold that against him, though, because he turns out to be a really decent guy whose pride almost cost him the girl he loved. Not to mention, Mormon men are taught/brainwashed from birth that a woman whose virginity/virtue is either given or stolen loses value and is better off dead ("Better dead clean, than alive unclean. Many is the faithful Latter-day Saint parent who has sent a son or daughter on a mission or otherwise out into the world with the direction, 'I would rather have you come back home in a pine box with your virtue than return alive without it' " (Bruce R. McConkie, Mormon Doctrine, Second Edition, Page 124), so Sam's thinking of Charly as used merchandise/secondhand goods is just what he believes because the Church he believes in believes it(Mormon Doctrine states that one is better off dead clean than alive unclean). Anyway, the movie is mainstream enough for even non-LDS and even ex-Mormons, like me, to enjoy, and it does have some funny moments, not laugh out loud hilarious, but the lighthearted kind that brings a smile to one's face nonetheless, and it ends with that hope that this life is not the end, unlike the Godless "Love Story". Highly recommended.
