The Blind

Reading some comments, I think some people missed the entire point of the movie, which was not to present us with cinematic perfection. However, on one point mentioned I agree with, it was hard to understand the actors at times. Subtitles might've been appropriate. Not that this takes away at all from the gospel message, of course, which is the thing that several people here in the reviews seem to miss, surprisingly even Christians are missing that point. I'm pretty sure that Phil Robertson was even worse than depicted in the movie-some things can't and shouldn't be shown I'm sure. All one has to do is observe him in real life to see that Phil Robertson was beyond quite the scoundrel at one time. So maybe the movie didn't even present the worst of it. But the gospel is what's important here and it was front and center and shining through. That was Phil's entire point. He succeeded. Or should I more accurately say God did.

Wonderful film demonstrating the redemptive love of God! The true story of Phil Robertson of "Duck Dynasty" fame. The film takes you from his destitute beginnings to "Duck Commander". The power of "burying the old man" and being born again to a new life in Jesus Christ cannot be denied. If you are trying to fill the hole in your heart with everything this world offers-you will never find true peace until you give Jesus control of your life. Try Him!!! Ask Jesus to come into your heart, find a Bible-believing church and be baptized, as shown in the movie. You will never regret it! Join the family of God-your life will be changed for eternity.

Such a beautiful picture of hope, forgiveness and redemption. It was powerful! The Robertson family could've made a movie about their fame and fortune or business success. But they chose to show the "dirty laundry" to give others hope. To show that there is no one too bad, no sin too great for the Blood of Jesus to cover. The scenery was beautiful Louisiana rivers and swamps. The acting was great. The story line was accurate. I pray that this movie might impact folks to want to hear that same story that the preacher shared with Phil. And that they might surrender to the Almighty! Highly recommend!!!

The movie performed better than I was expecting. I knew the story had substance and even if you aren't a dynasty follower/fan it would be something that could stand on its own and be entertaining. Which in my opinion it was!

The things I enjoyed about the movie was that it felt like a movie. Production, cinematography, acting, and dynamic plot helped put together a solid film start to finish. This film did a good job balancing the biopic - documentary and just inspired real life movie balancing act pretty well. In other words it didn't feel like a documentary but didn't feel like just a made up movie either.

I think the movie probably will appeal to certain audiences that most likely know what the movies already about but could be a nice find for people who happen upon it. I think this movie has decent rewatch ability and intends to have a good message.

For things I wasn't a fan of - well not too much to be honest. I guess it would be just the overall feel of the movie. It was above lifetime movie quality but in between blockbuster films. Nothing too bad but just something about either the acting or the ambience of the film just kept it more at the forefront than I'm used to that I was watching a movie and yes its one of those inspiring message typed movies. But again it wasn't anything terrible just something that others may not like or be more sensitive to.

Definitely a movie that would get played at church, bible study, homeschooled kids, or etc. But not in a bad way on the contrary for good reasons. I think it was again a interesting story and film. 7/10.

Started off great. If you have read the books by both; this was a disappointmemt. The actors just dont cut it. It was like watching a cheap C movie at best. They left a load of the story out. I dont understand why it stopped in the 80s? They talked about God but it was more of a backround thing. A few of Phils siblings was missing. Also, timeline seemed off. A bigger production and casting company should have been in charge. It was way way too sugur coated. They didet even really show any of the story about the duck calls. They never explained how Kay made money when he was drinkimh. Just much wrong.
