Anyone who has talked with me in the last few weeks has heard me raving about this new movie, Fireproof. It is a Christian movie that is currently in theaters and it is AWESOME! It stars Kirk Cameron. It is about a fireman whose marriage is failing. He is on the brink of divorce, but God redeems his life and his marriage. I HIGHLY recommend this movie to everyone. But don’t go see it expecting this amazing Hollywood production; go to watch a wholesome and uplifting movie.
Chris and I went on a date to see Fireproof . The whole movie had me on the verge of tears as you can really see how the enemy gets in and seeks to destroy marriage. But God has a different plan! God has a plan to prosper your marriage, He has a plan to give you hope that your marriage can succeed! (Jeremiah 29:11).
But my favorite part of the movie was the integrity during the film making process. There was a kissing scene that honestly had me freaking out at the end. Kirk Cameron is kissing his wife in the movie. I know that actors kiss other actors during film production all of the time, but this is a Christian movie with Christian actors! I was horrified! Chris kept reassuring me that there must be some explanation.
Chris came home that night and found a podcast about the movie. They reveal that Kirk Cameron is not actually kissing the co-star of the film, but his real life wife! They flew her in as a double to do the scene. How awesome is that? Apparently, Kirk Cameron made a commitment the he would never kiss another woman in acting. Here is an interview with him on MSNBC where he discusses this.
I respect Kirk Cameron so much for his commitment to put God and his family above his career.
I just got back from watching Fireproof… the over all message was solid for sure; it’s great that such a different-flavored movie made it into the regular, big screen.
I recently heard Kirk Cameron talk about the movie; he indicated that some divorce lawyers have informed him that they will require (or strongly encourage) their clients to see the movie before going forward with divorce. What a great testimony!
I am so trying to get people to watch this film. It is kind of dull at first, and you have to get through the first twenty minutes or so, but then you get hooked!
If i knew it was about marriage – I never would have seen it! Somehow, i saw “God” like three times in the movie description and that was good enough for me!
I might get my bible study group to watch it when it comes out on DVD.
I want to encourage people to see this film, and get others to do the same. It is worth watching and the message is stellar! Hey, it might actually save a few marriages! Look at the divorce rate in the church! We need to change that!
Jesus Rules!
