Facing the Giants (Widescreen) Reviews
The problems pile up. The players have a defeatist attitude against good teams, and also manage to goof up when playing weaker teams. The rapid building of a fortification wall by the Prophet Nehemia, with each person responsible for only the segment of wall in front of his home, serves as the inspiration for an impregnable defense. A delightful and inspiring movie. Christ's teaching about the narrow entry into heaven serves as a metaphor for accurately-centered field-goal kicks. There is a mysterious odor in the home, and the family car has a battery that keeps on dying. Six years as coach, and he hasn't had a single winning season.
On top of all that, there are annoyances that add insult to injury. The players fail to apply themselves in either academics or on the field. There is gossip about the need to replace Grant with a coach who can win. "The team, the kids, and the community deserve better." His wife cannot get pregnant after four years of trying. The players focus on Christ, resolve to do their very best for Him, and praise Him in victory and in defeat. One after another, the few talented and motivated players leave for better teams. Everything goes wrong for Coach Grant and his high school football team. A change in attitude can lead to a change in circumstances.
Everytime you watch it something new is revealed to encourage you in this life depite your circumstances. Facing the Giants is a movie sent from Jesus Christ who is God above to remind us that we will have many giants in this life. This is a must see movie for all people of all ages. However we will always have the victory over them as Christians(True Believers)because He was Victorious over all trials and tribulations of this life that we go through.I personally have watched it 7 times and this won't be the last.
We need to support the Christian film industry. If you liked this film, please support their other films. This film did present a Christian message. Try Flywheel. I noticed in facing the giants that Auston Motors was on the license plate of the truck that he received as a gift.
I would encourage getting this DVD and watching it once or twice a year. I couldn't believe that a church put this together. The inspiration and encouragement I have received is priceless. I have watched Facing the Giants several times. All I can say is WOW. The message is powerful and speaks to all aspects of life.
Enough said. Watch the training scene between Grant Taylor and the football team on youtube.
