01/09 Not Easily Broken
Quote From: cynnieI am posting in regards to the show "Not Easily Broken". It's unfortunate that many of americans go through the "emotional" abuse of marriages/relationships, be it affairs, etc. I have been in that type of relationship myself and by the grace of God, He pulled me through and has blessed me with the most wonderful man and marriage that I could of ever hoped for. I am sure Mr. Jakes movie is wonderful but there are some things that concern me. He is a minister of the Word yet produces a movie with bad language and I am assuming some "missing clothing" as one of the guests on the show mentioned she didn't have her shirt on in one scene. I am not judging but in the case of morales in this country, I couldn't help myself from writing this post. If a Pastor can't even set a good example by producing a "pure" movie then how can we expect our younger generation to "live right" when they can't even watch a family type movie without even seeing this kind of stuff. They see it, think it's ok because after all a man of God is behind this, it has to be ok. I know it's trivial compared to some types of movies out there but we have to draw the line somewhere. Maybe I am looking too deep into this and any helpful comments are welcomed if I am not understanding correctly for some reason. I mean no disrespect to Mr. Jakes here at all, that's not what I am getting at. I'm just wondering here where things need to begin and end? Having read Bishop Jakes' novel, Not Easily Broken, and seeing an ad for the movie before this episode aired, I was expecting a decent, "clean" movie. There was no bad language or "missing clothing" in the book. Because I enjoyed reading it so well, I was looking forward to seeing the movie. But, after having seen the episode, I've begun having second thoughts. I know movies are usually a disappointment to those who have already read the books. But, I think this movie might be an even greater disappointment What was shown of the movie on this episode suggested that the relationship between the husband and his wife's physical therapist went further than it ever did in the book. And, more people knew about it. In the book. I don't recall his MIL even knowing about it. Only his closest freind and his pastor knew about it. And he broke it off before anyone's clothing went missing.
