      A person's obsession does not need unthinking judgment

      The protagonist is an uneducated man who used to be full of evil, but after converting to Christianity, he began to help others. From thinking that he was inspired by God and working hard to save Sudanese children from war, to the surge in conflicts between family and career, and the lack of support and help from others around him, he once fell into hatred and annoyance. But he was determined again by the resonance of a boy who had a similar experience.
              The film was judged by some...

      This is a movie that shows the best side of a person

      Many people say that the plot is boring and the shootout is boring. That's because those who say these are not believers. If you are a believer and watch this movie, you won't feel strange because the protagonist repents after going to church once. , There are too many people in this world who used to be extremely evil and then changed after receiving the gospel. There are such people around me, so I don't think the hero changes too quickly, and this film is not Talking about politics is not an...

      Can't write short reviews. Movies worth watching

      What do the people I rubbed down on think? Absolutely five stars for this movie! This is not a commercial film, it is a living fact! Those of you looking forward to a blockbuster shootout can skip it, because it's not the popcorn movie you'd expect.
      Sam's mental journey is very real, especially when he fell into the trough of hatred and wanted to commit suicide, the boy said to him: don't let hatred erode your heart, then they will win (to the point). He was cured in an instant by a few...

      Please Let The Heroes Never Be Alone.

      As a Christian family my mother and I watched this video.
      Almost burst into tears.
      Especially understand how powerful it is for a soul to be unconditionally redeemed by Jesus Christ from sin.
      Some people say that as a Christian you have the right to take up a gun and take someone's life.
      But what about these devastated children?
      What are they doing wrong.
      These are God's tests for Sam.
      He was not just a shepherd who followed the Lord.
      He was not just a...

      Angels or devils, saints or bandits, nothing more than natural selection.

      After watching this film, the legendary life of sam in the film, I understand it like a scene, uncle sam is full of tears but holding ak47, shouting: "I want peace!!!", think of a joke, it has been adapted countlessly, in the end it came first The joke is still the first in this film, thinking.... all things are selected by nature, all living beings are like sam, they protect their thoughts on the one hand, but don’t get hurt on the other hand, don’t worry about whether God is still a god or a...
