Some time ago, a Lionsgate film "I Still Believe" (I Still Believe) topped the North American box office chart. This musical romantic drama is in line with people's mood nowadays. The disaster caused by the epidemic often results in the death of a family member. Everyone needs spiritual comfort. At the same time, it also demonstrates the nature of Americans, reflects the people's mentality at this time, and expresses confidence in defeating the epidemic. No matter how severe the epidemic is, I still believe that it will be overcome!
The film is adapted from the real life of American singer Jeremy Camp, and the title "I Still Believe" is his golden song of the same name.
When Jeremy Camp was a freshman, he fell in love at first sight with Melissa Henning, a girl who believes in God. Knowing that Melissa was suffering from cancer and there was not much time to spend with him, he still insisted on entering the marriage hall with her, but not long after the marriage, Melissa gave up. Human world, this time made Jeremy question the power of faith, but in the end he was saved by composing gospel songs and met the next lover.
Some viewers commented that the launch of this film coincides with people's mood in the current epidemic environment. The result of the disaster caused by the new crown virus epidemic is not yet known. Perhaps it is the parting of relatives. Everyone needs spiritual comfort.
Some people say that "I Still Believe" is a gospel film, which is what Chinese fans call a "missionary film."
At the beginning of the film, Jeremy left home to study at Calvary Church College. His father bought an expensive guitar for Jeremy with the help of his family, encouraging him to pursue his dreams on the road of music.
As soon as he entered campus, he got into a concert scene and met Jean-Luc, a male singer he admired. The other party told him: music is not about how to succeed, but about what you want to convey to people.
It was here that he met Melissa and fell in love with her at first sight.
The relationship between Melissa and Jean-Luc seemed unusual.
Jeremy and Melissa recognize each other as special people and hang out together frequently, but Melissa does not admit that they are a couple, and also asks Jean-Luc to keep it secret. Melissa kept saying that Jean-Luc was just a friend, she just didn't want to hurt him, but it was very green tea, hanging two boys.
But Jeremy and Melissa were bumped into by Jean-Luc once they were kissing, Jean-Luc was very angry, Melissa was also very angry, and said she didn't want to see Jeremy.
The emotionally injured Jeremy returned to his hometown during the Christmas vacation. During the Christmas holiday, Jean-Luc called Jeremy and told him that Melissa was sick. Jeremy drove a long distance to see Melissa and learned that Melissa had stage 3 cancer. Now Jean-Luc Tell Jeremy that you two are the happy couple, and Melissa also said to Jeremy that I love you.
Jeremy proposed to Melissa, Melissa did not have the struggle of "I am a cancer patient, I don't want to drag you", and immediately agreed.
According to the setting in the film, Jeremy is only 20 years old at this time, and both Jeremy and Melissa are still students, but the parents of both sides have no objection.
Jeremy dropped out of school to take care of Melissa.
After the cancer spread to the ovaries, Melissa removed the uterus.
Later, after her honeymoon, Melissa's condition deteriorated and she died after saying "I am cured by God".
Two years after Melissa's death, Jeremy had his first golden record. He sang "I Still Believe" in a large concert.
After the game was over, Jeremy met Adrienne. Adrienne said that the story of Jeremy and Melissa saved her.
The film has always emphasized how inspiring and powerful Melissa’s story is. But in our opinion, doesn’t it mean that a cancer patient always believes in God and always believes that destiny is God’s arrangement, so that he is strong and a beacon?
Many people who fight against diseases have more tenacious experiences. Maybe they lack a husband who can write songs and sing.
"I Still Believe" is a preaching wrapped in a love story, and the theme is faith, not love.
And the song "I Still Believe" is more like Jeremy wrote to God than Melissa.
I still believe in your faithfulness
I still believe in your loyalty
I still believe in your truth
I still believe in your truth
I still believe in your holy word
I still believe in your holy words
Even when I don't see I still believe
Even if i can't see, i still believe
In the movie, Jeremy is firm in love at a young age, and goes through fire and water, like a noble love saint, is also a must for Melissa, love in this life, and will never change.
In reality, Melissa Henning died of illness in February 2001, and Jeremy Camp remarried in December 2003, who was married to Adrienne.
At the end of the film, Jeremy Camp's deity appeared.
Jeremy, Adrienne and their three children also appeared on the scene.
And Melissa lived in the legend.
"I still believe" is also a good slogan to express confidence in the fight against the epidemic: no matter how severe the epidemic is, I still believe that it will be overcome!
