Since I am not a Big Football fan, SuperBowl Sunday I normally catch a movie. Well, just so happen Detroiter Marvin Winans Jr. movie DREAMS was in theaters. So, my mom, daughter and a friend went to the 5:00pm show after dinner at Outback. Dreams had some heavy hitter actors and actresses and great job especially to Loretta A. Morman (Lil Loretta, kinfolk).
The movie was very interesting and had awesome messages intertwined within the storyline. As I began to connect the characters and their stories with their dreams, I saw the irony. The movie was relational for me and very helpful. The experience working with young people with issues, yet gifted, can be difficult to get them to their Dreams.
What bothered me the most is what happened after the movie. While I was in the restroom, my mom and friend were approached by other attendees, asking if they liked the movie. Of course, their response was, "The movie was great". It is the response from the ladies who asked the question that immediately got under my skin as they shared this with me. The SUPERSANCTIFIED SAINTS response was, "It was so demonic, and messed with my spirit, we just feel so heavy now, we have to go get in the prayer line at Wayne T. Jackson church". My mom continued to say, "The movie was about real issues that are not discussed".
It was a reason God put me in the restroom at this time, because I am allergic to RELIGIOUS FOLKS...I get as irritated as the scratching of the chalkboard sound, when they open their mouths.
When I watch a movie, I am looking for the message and the lesson I can learn to apply to my life. These type of people missed the fact that childhood issues could be holding many people hostage from fulfilling their dreams. The reality of molestation, rape, abuse, prison reentry, parent/child relationships are in the church and outside the church. But if you are looking for a scripture, churchy, deep religious thought, YOU MISSED THE POINT of the film. The last 2 words of the film was WAKE UP! duhhh!
Furthermore, if you need to go get in a prayer-line for someone else to pray for you, your spirit already messed up!! #getyolife
The movie continues at the Star Southfield until Feb. 7th...go check it out! SUPPORT
