Hillbilly Elegy (2020) Drama Film Review
Starring Amy Adams, Glenn Close and Gabriel Basso this is based
on a true story centered around J.D. Vance.
Set in 1997 when J. D. was around twelve and the film flashes back and forth
between his youth and his time at Yale. We also get glimpses of impactful
events of his grandmother and his mother when she was young. It’s not for young kids, but I believe PG-13
is perfect and almost a must see for teens of today. Some will protest of the language and violent
scenes, but I think religious folks of which I am one do a disservice to our
youth and even ourselves by avoiding such realities in our world. I am honestly amazed at how we as Christians tolerate
cheating on our taxes, cursing in our own homes, frequent Casino’s, Soap Operas,
steamy romance novels, on demand abortion, gluttony, road rage, lying on resume’s
etc. Yet they are offended by true stories like this that are perfect teaching
tools for people of all cultures. Have
you noticed the Bible gives us the good, the bad and the ugly? I am a born-again Christian for over 40 years
and I not only enjoyed the film, but would encourage adults to watch this with
their teens. Don’t listen to the hypocrites who talk it
down. Our kids are doing drugs, having sex, committing suicide, getting drunk,
raped, and cheating on exams. So don’t give
me any smack about how this may negatively affect them. Do
yourself a favor, stop all your crap you think is so important and watch a movie
with your teens. Actually talk with them about it afterward. It may even improve your relationship with
them. Oh If you think being politically correct is a good thing don't watch this movie. LOL Enjoy. Mark
