Come What May (2009) Reviews
Come What May is not a choice, it's a decision.
This review is just about as diametrically opposite of the last reviewer as you can get. This was never made as a 'for profit' work, so trying to 'capitalize' is rather silly; money, capital, is not an issue. Sure, court IS boring, even more boring than most sports events. Both do have most of the people sitting around and waiting, and most uninvolved. But for the people involved in any court case, the emotions are very real and very important. This film is really about seeing things from another person's perspective; walking a mile in the other person's shoes. Had the first reviewer even bothered to watch to the end he would have realized that. The 'villain' of the first 90% of the film is finally realized to be simply a victim herself. That's what makes this a good film; the empathy one ends up feeling. Is it moralistic? Sure. Has that become a problem today? Sure, it deals with abortion in a far more real way than the slogans and platitudes normal given. It also deals with marriage problems in a better way than any current film short of "Fireproof". Is the sound track up to par? Please, this was a student film. You can't expect that. It might just be the best student film I've ever seen.
What America Needs... A Backbone, Respectfully.
Content was spot on. The only thing I could shake a finger at was technical. A few pregnant pauses. Sound was low for the speech in a few instances. Of course, I compare to the multi-million dollar budgets... Speaking of that, I'm buying three DVDs. One for us and one for each of our children (for our grandchildren, actually). As a conservative parent, this is perfect for the 10yr old and up. The stakes are high and the temptations are even higher. But the principled person sees the prize does not compare to the moment. As a US natural born citizen, I hold it self-evident that all men are created equal. Is life to be lived firstly for ourselves? If it were, shouldn't the founding fathers have created a government that feeds their personal interests above the interest of "the people?"
Well worth seeing...
I admit that this isn't the highest quality production, but in a way similar to Fireproof, the work accomplished for the money spent is amazing. Highly recommend that you see the additional features on the DVD to better understand just how grass-roots this effort was. This film shows young people seriously facing the big moral questions of our times, and shows them willing to think it through with more than just an Mtv (if it feels good do it) mentality. The prevailing wind of human nature doesn't lead us toward goodness... this film definitely gives strength to those who want to stand against the prevailing winds.
Moving, Strong for a Low Budget
For a micro-budget movie, this movie will get you thinking, and surpasses most others in quality, though the low budget does show. The story does indeed hold up, and it presents some powerful arguments - especially knowing it's based on a real moot court case by the sponsoring college. This is definitely worth a watch and it will certainly get people talking together afterward! Courtroom dramas have historically held up as dramatic vehicles, and does so here. Camera moves are too limited, due I'm sure to the budget constraints preventing a dolly or steady-cam. But the heart that comes through this picture makes it well worth watching. And could it be more timely, even after the election? Perhaps it is more so.
Don't drink the Cool Aid!
This low budget movie of the week reject is nothing but Christian propaganda about abortion. Every character in the film with exception to the main characters mother is pro life. Of course they are all sweat, well mannered intelligent people. The father is even a biology professor, that believes the world is only 6 thousand years old. How could you not get on board with all the people in this film. They are all so wonderful. Except for the the evil secular mother, that just happens to be lawyer fighting against parental consent. She's tearing the family apart. Always working. Passing her workload onto her son (who is going to a Christian law school). Ignoring the family. Being passive aggressive towards her sons love interest. Even eating the last piece of her sons apple pie. Oh yeah, she's also a moral relativist. EVIL! If you are an evangelical Christian, you'll probably think that this is the greatest film of all time. Even better than "Expelled". As is evident by the positive comments here. Everyone else. Take a pass.
