Well, until I read this, I wasn't interested in the movie. But it sounds like a lovely film, worth seeing. I'll try to go this weekend.

[ThirstyMan]

Probably _Through Gates of Splendor_ published in 1957, authored by Elisabeth Elliot, wife of one of the slain missionaries.

Check out FR thread on the movie. The clerk might not have paid attention to the movie, and certainly did not spend time learning how it all ended.

(Spoiler alert)

Treadwell invites bear to dinner, bear eats Treadwell and girlfriend. Reconciliation is accomplished by park rangers through .45 Magnum diplomacy.

I haven't seen it, but have heard that it is about this guy "becoming one with a grizzly bear".

Yes, when a person is eaten by a grizzly, that person becomes one with the grizzly - if one is stupid enough to get that close to the grizzly, that is. Later in the digestive process, that same person becomes one with whereever it is the grizzly decides to take a dump.

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.

At least for the digestion period of the bear. Then he became one with little grizzly-made piles in the woods.

That't not ringing the bell. Maybe there was more than one book.

Sounds like a wonderful story of forgiveness and reconciliation. Happy to see it made by an Oklahoma company, also. I have a question, though.

Will this movie be used as ammunition by our current generation of pacifists?

I am pretty sure his name is Mark Green not Mart. He is the owner of the Hobby Lobby/Mardel's franchise.

One of our Deacon's wife works for him and apparently he is a genuinely humble and Godly man.

Don't expect to see this nominated for any Oscar's.

[CharlieOK1]

ohhh, they're showing it at the new Jenks theater. I'll be there!

Just passed this on to our Church's minister and youth minister. Hope we can get some groups together to go see this.

Thanks for the ping as I had been wondering about this film -- glad to get more details.
