The Great Debate- A Good movie
The new movie directed by Denzel Washington entitled The Great Debate came out yesterday and I saw it this afternoon. It is a true story set in 1935 in Marshall Texas. Some might call it “Remember the Titans for Eggheads and Orators,” but there is more to it than that. It has a solid plot line and it deals with the reality of racism in the Depression era South. Some parts of it are not pretty, but it is a strong reminder that the word has power. For someone like me, who has the duty and privilege of proclaiming the ETERNAL WORD, it reminds me of the serious responsibility of preaching the Gospel to help God change hearts. I would recommend this movie to adults and teenagers. My only regret is that I would have liked to seen more of the debates, but at two hours, I guess there was not much else to do. Denzel Washington and Forest Whitaker are formidable forces in the film.
