SEAL Team: Medicate and Isolate (2019)
Hard to Watch But a Great Episode
"Medicate and Isolate" is the perfect tag for what the VA does to veterans like myself. I have had PTSD since 1976 and it went diagnosed until 2014. They prescribe pills to make you a zombie so you won't be trouble for anyone. Pills for the pain and pills for the brain. "Have some candy, hero." and out the door you go.
Thanks for showing America what the "system" is really like. Too many of my brothers are committing suicide because getting anything done is impossible. The pills make you crazy. And you options are limited - a strait jacket or a body bag.
The Redemption of Henry Myers (2014)
Not very good (Spoiler Alert)
This film is about redemption and God's grace. Unfortunately, it leaves something to be desired. I am a pastor and I am encouraged by the number of Christian films that are being released. I just wish that more of them would be better movies. This movie is not awful but it is not good, either. The acting is weak, the characters shallow and as predictable as the plot. It seems as if Henry is a bad guy, but a totally bad guy because he just wants to commit armed robbery but doesn't want anyone to get hurt. Someone does and Henry's nefarious cohorts take off without him. Henry accidentally kills the town parson and takes off but hides the money in the church before he does. Henry's partners come after him for their share and a lot bad shooting ensues. Henry is wounded and left for dead. He is found by a widow and her two children. They patch him up, not knowing who he is, and things are gong along pretty good. Until Henry sees a picture of the family and realizes that he killed the husband of the widow he has now fallen in love with. To top that off, the sheriff is the widow's former father-in-law. The bad guys find Henry, the sheriff and Henry, who is wounded again, save the day. They all live happily ever after because Henry s now a good guy. He probably marries the widow and becomes friends with the father or the man he killed. The movie is rife with over acting, bad dialogue, and a weak story. How many people are going to forgive the killer of husband and son and take them into their family? I believe in forgiveness. I know about God's grace, but I also know about human nature. This ending is a bit far fetched. There are better Christian films out there. Sorry, Sen. Santorum, your first film as a producer was not good.
