The Shack

This film is the most important film ever to have been released. It has the potential to change the attitudes and beliefs of ordinary people worldwide and for generations to come. We are currently living in a world which has very little time for God. Instead we spend our entire time judging other people and imposing on them our own man-made moral standards and definitions of what is right and wrong. Unfortunately the religious establishment has largely colluded in this process. Through its doctrines of dogmatic biblical literalism, loving families are being torn apart as people grieve because they believe their loved ones died unsaved and are forever in hell. This film confronts this cruel philosophy head-on by portraying God as the truly loving and forgiving God that we know through Jesus. It speaks directly to our hearts in a beautifully creative and quite original way and has the potential thereby to change millions of people's lives for ever. And that is something that no film has ever succeeded in doing.

Has a couple of profound moments but is mostly quite confused and lacking in discernment. Worthington is goodish.

This is such a bizarre movie, and not because of the religious/spiritual elements. The acting is actually pretty good and the plot isn't terrible, but just about everything else in the movie is. I think the editing was the ultimate downfall of this film. Just a strange film, that had potential and didn't at the same time. Hard to put my finger on it.

If forgiving is that easily convincible, then welcome to the crime world! A novel based film. A religious themed film. It has a message, BUT could be a bad message for today's world. Because how the event was dealt with the story only encourages the crime, in reality. Wise people can say philosophically, morally, but not means every words practically applicable. The common people would get affected more. Other than that, I have no grudge on anything. If it has been just a fantasy and an entertaining film, excluding that Christian thing, I would have liked it better. It was more like another 'What Dreams May Come', but less visual spectacular. On the other hand, there was an uneasiness in the development of what happened in the early stage of the story. They did not go for the detail, from the crime perspective, hence that mysterious event holds the key which we don't know exactly what happened to judge anything out of the film. So that part reminds 'The Lovely Bones'. The story of a father whose little girl mysteriously disappeared on a camping trip. Now the struggling father to cope with the incident gets an invitation to meet the creators. His journey to the other side of the world, where he goes through a series of unexpected tests, and at the end, how his character changes are told in those remaining parts. Worthington, Spencer, everybody was good. But the story is what I did not like. Like it was aimed for Christians only. But I believe not every Christian would agree with this story. I felt it was an unnecessary film. If it was fun like 'Bruce Almighty', the whole world would have enjoyed it. Too serious and very not acceptable message led this film to fall. No, it is not worth a watch for people with the open mind, unless this is what you were looking for. 3/10

Bom , esse e um filme que tem uma historia boa e tinha uma grande chance de dar certo so que na minha opiniao fi um fracasso / Bom o filme tem um visual legal ( em algumas partes chega a ser horrivel ) / Eu achei a atuações ruims ( menos da Octavia Spencer ) / Um filme que teoricamente era pra fazer todo mundo chorar e acabou nao acontecendo isso na minha sala quase ninguém chorou só umas 5 pessoas / Emfim filme religioso não faz meu gênero , eu acho que esse filme foi mais focado para as pessoas mais velhas ou que leram o livro e gostam de religião / Mais no aspecto Cinematográfico o filme e um fracasso
