Movie review: The Most

I just got the opportunity to watch the Academy Award Nominee short film entitled The Most. (Thanks Tom for blessing me with it). It was a great movie. If you haven’t seen it I recommend you do. Here’s a review from Christianity Today: People who have seen this film count it among the best and most powerful movies they have ever seen. Some say it’s been life-changing.

It has easily become one of my top five favorite films. A parable for our time.

“The Most” is Czech for the bridge. It’s the story of a bridge tender and his young son. A tragedy occurs one day at the bridge which causes the father to have to make an eternal decision: save the life of his son and allow numerous people to die, or sacrifice his son so that those people may live.

Check out more about the film and view the trailer by going to the Most website. I’ve also provided this short video below for you to view.

  1. Alright, pilgrim! Something we can agree on!

    I am so pleased with this movie, on all sorts of levels. And, I am pleased to see that you recommend it. This film embodies what I have been trying (apparently badly) to discuss with you over the past few weeks about the way film can be used to advance the Kingdom. A couple of Christian guys, using the medium of film in a non-in your face way, to illustrate God’s truth. And the world gets it, as evidenced by the awards they’ve received.

    Now, it’s not without it’s problems theologically, but it’s a well-crafted film that illustrates the love of the Father for the Son, and for the world.
