[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 243077, member: 3419"] husband and I watched Fireproof tonight. (Unless it's a big screen incredibly cinematic flick, we tend to wait until things come out in video.) I had gotten an email from a friend who teaches Retrouvaille courses (Catholic church marriage retreats) and she recommended it. I told husband, since he is very religious (Baptist). He ignored it. And I kind of blew it off ... until my little sister recommended it. She said she heard it was excellent and just to ignore the religious parts, LOL! She's the type who believes "Just in case." :) And someone at husband's church recommended it, I think. He rented it and brought it home. Anyway, it's about a fireman and his wife, who works in a hospital (I never did figure out her job ... something in admin) and he is an absolute jerk. Lots of anger issues. She has had it up to her eyeballs and files for divorce. I liked the action scenes (I've been watching Cops too often, LOL!:happy:) and the husband was actually a pretty good actor. But the wife couldn't act at all ... although she was pretty good at being cold. :winking: My husband loved it. He actually cried. One of his fave movies is A Walk to Remember. One of the things I thought of while watching the movie was The Great Santini with-Robert Duval. Super movie. It is really hard for one spouse to live a life that is filled with death, destruction, life and death decisions, power and force, and then come home to someone who is on a completely different wavelength. There's got to be a way to decompress and to change expectations. They never covered that in Fireproof, except to have both the spouses come to Jesus. I guess they needed a commonality and that did it. The film is used by certain churches for classes so that makes sense. I'd like to see a remake of Fireproof and throw a difficult child into the mix ... :funny::whiteflag: [/QUOTE]
