Movie Reviews of End of the Spear
Movie Review: Bigger Reality than Hollywood Can Create
Summary: 5 Stars
Some of the magic of Hollywood is its ability to take a story and make it "bigger than life". Visually, graphically, technologically Hollywood is able to do amazing larger than life productions. What struck me about this movie is that instead of this movie being larger than life, the actual lives lived by the men and women portrayed in the film were so much larger than the movie. That is not a criticism of the movie, instead it is a wonderful window into the weighty real lives that they lived. Often we watch movies in order to escape reality and enter into another world. This movie inspires us to enter into not an imagined world but into reality - the kind of reality that we all long for - a life that is weighty, sincere, meaningful - a life worth living.Movie Review: Wonderful film about forgiveness and faith.
Summary: 5 Stars
I know a lot of the details of this story and have heard many interviews of Steve Saint. The movie is very well done and entertaining It is an extraordinary story of missionaries who sacrifice their own comfort and safety to reach a people lost to violence and self destruction. I still find it so amazing that a group of American widows would go to live (with their children mind you) and care for the South American tribe who murdered their husbands. Only having a personal knowledge of God and his grace could explain their action of forgiveness. I recommend getting 'through the gates of splendor' as well, the documentary with the real people involved. Definitely recommend 'End of the Spear' to own and share with others.Movie Review: A Must See Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
I didn't get a chance to see this movie in the movie theater but I just watched it and it blew me away. One of the best movies I have ever seen. I highly recommend it to all. The story is about Nate Saint and group of his fellow Missionaries (including John Elliot, former husband of famous author Elizabeth Elliot) in Ecuador who dare to make contact with the Waodani tribe. They are violent tribe bent on killing and revenge. It is a powerful story of how love and forgiveness can change even the headrest hearts. It is a must see film. It appeals to my missionary heart since I used to be a missionary in the Philippines for a number of years. I highly recommend it to all.Movie Review: A True Christian Story Told In A Mature and Measured Way
Summary: 5 Stars
Finally Christian film making has matured. For so long films by Christians about Christians suffered from low budgets, preachy heavy handedness and cheesy writing. End of the Spear breaks through the stereotype of Christian films being virtually unwatchable. The story is moving and compelling. Critics who still hector the film as being "preachy" have to be hard core anti-Christian in their bias because this film mentions the gospel message almost as a side note. This is a magnificent true story of forgiveness and redemption as the families of slain missionaries extend forgiveness and compassion toward the tribe that committed the terrible deed. An outstanding film.Movie Review: Painful, yet very enlightening
Summary: 5 Stars
Observe remarkable acts of compassion unlike anything you've ever seen before in this captivating and deeply touching true story. The narrator is just a young boy when his selfless father and colleagues are murdered by a mercilessly violent tribe.
Through several contacts, the boy and his mother eventually build a relationship with the tribe and even live with them, ultimately helping the tribe to understand peace and love. If that doesn't nudge your spirit, then the end of the movie will surely bring tears to your eyes.
