I took my son to see this movie. He is 16 and has had a tough time of feeling like an outsider at school. It helped him to see that everyone has problems and everyone else's life isn't perfect. This movie dealt with real things teenagers deal with on a daily basis and how they chose to deal with life. It might just save a life. For those kids who think it's cool to make fun of others and treat others like they are not worthy of consideration, that somehow they are better than others, they should watch this. It will help to see the effect that you have on others. My son didn't even care to see this movie but, when it was over he said it was good. I highly recommend this movie to teenagers and parents alike. It was worth seeing.
'Sentiment: Positive 🙂'
All teens and parents of teens should be seeking this movie out. This movie really hits home to my own personal experiences in high school. It can be a cruel world and this movie takes up that issue and more! The message is clear. The movie does a great job of making it "cool" to change your life. I think teens will relate to many of the scenes with their own life. Parents should see to "remind" us of the pressures our kids are under in today's world. If just one kid changes the course of his/her life from seeing this movie, it was a movie well worth supporting. Amazing to think that the writer has never scripted a movie before. Go see it!
'Sentiment: Neutral 😑'
I know this movie has religious implies, meaning that like in this film part of what helped Jake Taylor was becoming Christian, but even if you are an Atheist and don't believe in Christianity, I think you will still enjoy it because not only is it strong in the message it carries but also it is inspiring, very touching, and simply realistic with the way many teenagers are treated for being "uncool", and simply standing out from the ordinary. It's wrong. But it still happens. "To Save a Life" shows what can happen if a teenager is bothered so much- suicide for him or her, guilt and sadness for the people still standing in this world.If you have a teen son/daughter, teen friend or know any teen- show them this film. It is something they should see.
