Let’s do more than complain about the kind of agenda Hollywood is pushing. Let’s get out and support those films which reflect our own values! This is an incredible, award-winning movie, well worth your time and money. Grab your friends, your family members, your church groups, etc and get out there this weekend!

OPENING WEEKEND IS CRUCIAL for indie films. Theaters will decide whether to keep the movie, drop it, or add it to more screens based on Box Office numbers THIS WEEKEND. This film will be showing on about 1200 screens nationwide including Regal Theaters, Cinemark, AMC and more.

End of the Spear PING!

"We can debate that, but we can't debate reconciliation as the answer. It works, as this marvelous movie so beautifully and breathtakingly demonstrates. "

Another movie that just landed in my video store this week that sounds similar is one about "Living With Grizzlies" or something similar. I haven't seen it, but have heard that it is about this guy "becoming one with a grizzly bear".

Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my FoxFan list. *Warning: This can be a high-volume ping list at times.

Thanks for the ping!

[I'm ALL Right!]

Thanks for that, nutmeg!

[nutmeg]

Happy to help. I just noticed the info in your post #2. I'll re-ping my FoxFan list.

[No Fool]

It's late, so I'll be nice...
What do Grizzly bears have to do with reconciliation? You need to be on a "reincarnation" thread.

Seriously, did you even read the review, or are you posting to see your own name?

I think movie sounds incredible and since most of Hollywood is breaking it's arm to pat itself on the back for Brokeback mountain, I'm glad to know part of Hollywood got it right for once! I'll definitely go see it this weekend.

Thanks for telling me about this film, even though our family does not frequent movie theaters, we will talk about it with our friends.

I can't remember the name of it now but I bought the book by one of these women at a garage sale years ago. It's an amazing story. She went into the jungle with her toddler daughter and lived with the tribe that killed her husband... for a year I think. I saw the promo for this movie and hoped it was based on that story. Does anyone know the name of that book?

[de Buillion]

I, too, will be nice. The End of the Spear sounds like a feel-good, huggie/feelie type movie, which I wanted to link to another recent movie which I think is in a similar vein, with a possibly much different ending. I happen to see a parallel in the civilized/primitive juxtaposition of both movies.

The Internet Movie Data Base does not have any reference to a film called "Living with Grizzlies." It does have a film called "Grizzly Man." If this is the film you are referring to you might want to read the story line of the movie.

[de Buillion]

Yes, Grizzly Man is the movie that I was referring to. As I siad, I did not rent it, just discussed it with the clerk. About a guy who became one with the grizzly.

[I'm ALL Right!]

Through Gates of Splendor, by Elisabeth Elliot

[I'm ALL Right!]

Not at all a feel-good, huggie/feelie type movie, but an incredible story. I hope you'll see it before you judge it.

[I'm ALL Right!]

Oh, and it is that story, but told from the perspective of Steve Saint (whose father was Nate Saint, one of the missionaries) and Mincaye, one of the Waodani Indians.

[de Buillion]

I do believe that I will see it when it comes to Hollywood Video.

[grateful]

I read Through Gates of Splendor many years ago. As soon as I saw the preview for End of the Spear, I knew it had to be based on that book. I'm not a big movie-goer, but I just might get out this weekend to see it.
