The show itself is one of the few clean shows for kids to watch. The only issue with the show is the bad life lessons and morals it teaches kids. Often it teaches for people to follow their feelings rather than what is true or wise. The fish don't have parental figures that someone could look up to or provide good advice. I'm not asking for the show to be educational only for a show that doesn't guide children in the wrong direction. There are other pbs shows for children that are better options such as Wild Kratts or Dinosaur Train. I'll check out other shows when I get the chance. Thanks for reading.
In the film the martyrdom scene isn't too specific but because this film strives for historically accuracy I will critic it for it more harshly. They showed Joseph bolting out of the window in Carthage Jail and breaking the window. Eye witness testimony stated he crawled out of that small window with one leg, one arm, and his head out of the window before a great force flinging him out of the window as like a leap or push. Newspapers from that time also describe that the window section that lifts up was still present and was not knocked out by Joseph going out of the window. They don't address enough the placement of Hyrum in the room as he died with his back turned to the door facing the window as his head was 1 foot away from the north east corner of the room and blood splatter on his clothing suggest he died on his stomach. They don't address Willard Richards being behind Joseph when at the window and the mob not shooting Richards while he was in plain line of sight.
The movie handles the subject of cognitive dissonance in a powerful and relatable way, as the main character loses sleep and struggles with the possible consequences of losing all his relationships for what he is learning to be true. The film also explores deep doctrinal issues, such as the idea of hell as eternal torment vs. A permanent punishment, and delves into the history of Plato and the concept of the immortal soul. There is an issue where Fudge in the film appears slightly ecumenical in his position regarding the church, which I am unsure is true to reality. For a Christian film, the acting and music are well done and not cheesy.
