Live Fast, Die Young

Man, just saw this at the Alive Fest. Didn't know what was up with the film, but it left me speechless at the end. This thing blows you away. At first, I was like it's just OK, but as these guys keep fessing up to their hidden secrets, it's like everything just hits you emotionally. And the guy who talks about how he came to Christ is so touching. I don't get emotional, but this film really got to me....strange. Guys were like in tears walking away back to our tents and the girls were even more emotional. So glad Alive premiered this film at the fest. They gotta do more films like this. Anyone who doesn't know Alive, it has about 60,000 people come to hear top Christian bands play. Every year it's just music, but this year they got this film to show. Anyway, it's a good film.

A lot of things have been said about this fantastic movie, and I only hope to add a few praises.

The character who plays 'big Mack' is fantastic as David's best friend and deserves at least a Spirit nomination simply for the scene in the end. While the actress who plays the conniving assistant is great as well. However, it's got to be the agent and studio producer who steal the show with their hilarious Hollywood antics (I felt they were really at a Hollywood party and I would be scared to approach them...)

Great message movie from beginning to end. I truly believe it is a terrific film that will change hearts for God.

Another amazing thing about this movie is definitely the acting. Even if the lack of a big- budget set was not terrific, this movie still would have made my top ten list. I was captivated from beginning to end. If your looking for a typical Hollywood movie with a Hollywood ending, then do not bother spending two hours on this movie. This movie is ahead of it's time, and lands an easy 10 out of 10.

This one is a keeper in my movie library.

First word for this film is powerful, but that alone is not enough to describe the feelings i have after watching it.

'Live Fast, Die Young' is a fantastic movie in almost every way, its writing is fantastic with amazing dialogue and well fleshed out characters who you really care about. The acting is fantastic from every actor involved. But what's so surprising is that it's a faith-based film in the end. Who would ever believe a Hollywood movie discussing God at such lengths? Bravo to the producers.

Overall, I thought this movie was believable and touching, without your typical ending. The cast and the filmmakers really have done themselves proud. My advice: Forget the dove awards, the rave reviews, the pretty faces, and sit down to watch this movie with a completely impartial attitude. You will see that it really is beautiful and remarkable.

By the way, I very VERY rarely cry at movies. But if there's any scene that will have me in tears, it's the one where the actor playing the slick agent finally breaks down and starts to cry. That's saying something! This film burns slowly, inside you.

I went in to see this movie as a Christian, so in some aspects I knew what was coming, but although I had my own preconceived ideas....I found those ideas to be a little off-track. This movie is very well done, it's not a movie that is done to look like a tool for evangelism...it is a very good movie with a great cast, a great storyline, and the production is first-rate. You would not have to be a Christian to enjoy this movie. This is a movie that anyone who viewed it would enjoy. But as I said earlier....the movie does make you think. As the plot goes along, you have an idea of what's to come, and the direction the movie is heading. But when the big moment hits towards the end, (and I won't give it away) you feel as though you get hit in the gut, and it forces you to really think about your life, and the things in life that REALLY matter. I don't get emotional at movies, I don't even go to many movies, but this show really hit me hard, and I was actually drained when the show ended. Yes people....it's just that good! Bottom line....see this movie, and be prepared to view life a little more clear afterward. Great cast, great production, great story, worth every penny you spend to see it...I give it a big thumbs up!!!

What makes this film rise above the rest is the character development. Every character in this film is three-dimensional. They all change, in one way or another, by the end of the film. Whether or not things remain the way they are long after this film ends is unknown, and that adds to the drama. The most important scene in this film is when the characters, as a group, all open up to one-another and describe the hell that their lives in Hollywood bring. Nobody likes the role they must inevitably portray in the Hollywood scene, but the fact is, it is often inescapable. This film gives the viewer some insight into how the other people around them might have felt during that particular time in their lives.
