Now days, it's hard to find a good comedy. This is the exception. I loved this version of Overboard.
I just saw the Gosnell Movie. 1st of all; Kudos to Andrew Klavan for tackling this subject. He did an excellent job. 2nd acclaim to Nick Searcy, Phelim McAleer, Ann McElhinney, Magdalena Segieda, John Sullivan, Phelim McAleer, Ann McElhinney, and all the actresses and actors that made the movie happen. And a special thanks to all that crowdfunded this project.
Reaction: The strongest emotions my wife and I had during the movie and in the aftermath were anger and disgust. Of course, we were sickened by the way Gosnell callously killed these babies, treated these women, and lived and worked in filth.
But what was even more disgusting was the complicity of the disgraceful Pennsylvania Health Department and its cowardly state government in Harrisburg, the legal profession, and the silence of the media. All this has been fueled by the pro-abortion lobby that has been bullying the American public for decades. And all for sordid gain.
The cowardly judge even had to instruct the jury and the prosecuting attorney that this was not about abortion but about murder. That is how bad it's got. It takes a person who went to law or medical school to "figure" this out. People with a conscience that is not seared, know what it is. It's all murder dressed up in pretty clothes.
This movie did a fine job in bringing this to the forefront to all who are willing to watch it. Sadly, most people will not watch it. It is not gruesome. That is, you will not see the violence done. The writers and producers purposely did not want to make this into a shock political tirade. The facts speak for themselves to most people. As hard as it is to believe, there are still some people who will view this film and still be for abortion. It's a heart problem and a movie cannot change this.
Like many important movies of our time, the theater was virtually empty. People would rather see mindless movies like "Halloween" or the latest "Super Hero" movie. But this is the apathy and shallowness of our culture. When people don't care, as you see in this movie; PEOPLE GET AWAY WITH MURDER. Let that sink in.
Did Queen Victoria, head of the church of England, defender of the Christian faith, die in her sins?
According to the movie Victoria and Abdul she did exactly that. In her death bed scene there is no Arch Bishop of Canterbury and no mention of Christ or Christianity. In their place is a Sufi Muslim quoting from Rumi with the implied view that Muslims are a peaceful folk and that Victoria died a Muslim with no savior.
The movie could have been a good one with superb acting by Judi Dench and many light-hearted and funny scenes but it was flawed by the politically correct author, director, producers, and screen writer who want to push their anachronistic/pc views through a period piece.
What a shame that these kind of movies always have to be flawed by faulty worldviews that seem to be always anti-Christian and anti-Western.
