more than religion

Although it is a film involving religious themes, I believe that different people see and feel different things from "Facing the Giants", and it is definitely not just as simple as believing in God and fighting for God. Although there will be countless flaws in the plot, but when I watched this film until the final battle, I had tears in my eyes. I rarely felt this way. Maybe something in the film resonated with me.
The Hawks won't just start winning because the team started believing in God. The point is, they started not playing to win. The coach told the players to leave the game to God and let God decide whether to win or lose, and all the players have to do is to do their best in the game and show their best selves in the game. No matter whether you hand over the game to God or whoever, whether it is life or sports, the most important thing is not to win or lose, but to fight with all your strength, love life, and love others, even if life makes things difficult for us in every way, making us difficult and bruised. We must also believe that the best will always come. We don't have to believe that there is an almighty God who will bless us, but we have to learn to be optimistic and high-spirited in difficult situations.
Although this is a non-professional film invested, directed and performed by believers, the music is handled very well, and the entire process of the final battle is like an epic, which made me immediately nervous. Relying on something peculiar, not just music, but more importantly faith (most of the actors are true believers, the protagonist himself is a priest rather than a professional actor), let me accept something that was not very convincing Things, but also accepted the flaws in the plot.
It is recommended not to be entangled in the plot during the viewing process (some transitions are abrupt and the plot is too ideal). But the two combine well. Sportsmanship has a lot in common with beliefs.
Everyone needs faith, and faith doesn't just represent God. Religion is rather a shortcut to belief. From "Facing the Giants", what I see is a kind of high-spirited optimism and a life attitude that doesn't care about the results and strives to achieve oneself. If belief in God can make people have such emotions and attitudes, God has not done a big thing. good deeds?

    Although the plot is cliché, but very inspirational, it really touched me

    Only the back part touched me. The other plots are true or only the believers will like it.
