I went to the theater to watch Sound of Freedom last night. The quality of the movie is top tier. It doesn't feel cheap in any way like some "Christian" movies. The acting is excellent. Especially from the child actors. I also thoroughly enjoyed the chemistry between Jim Caviezel and an ex-criminal who teamed up with him to save the children. Jim has some powerful moments, especially in his final speech after the credits. One couldn't help but shed a tear.
The entire movie theater was completely quiet. Not a word was said once the movie ended. You could hear a pin drop. No one wanted to look at each other as we left the movie and walked to our cars. Everyone was legitimately somber. It ends on a high note. It's almost eerie how much it strikes a chord in you, as the soundtrack has children singing the lyrics, " We are not for sale."
A mixture of emotions. From anger to sadness to astonishment is potent.
There's something to putting a story on screen that makes the child trafficking atrocity more real than it has ever been.
I couldn't help but think. What if that was a child from my own family? What would I do? Words cannot describe it.
I'm certain that this movie is a powerful tool and can be used as a lightning rod for change.
All of us prayer warriors must begin to pray like never before for the complete end of this horrendous crime that has plagued our society.
May God awaken and empower us all.
