Woodstock (2019)
Hippie "Miracle"? Maybe because it didn't last
Watching this you would have thought hippies invented the wheel. A concert with half a million people and the movies most important theme is no reported fights, calling it a "miracle" and therein lies the theme of this documentary.
Granted, it couldn't happen today but these hippies grew up in a more moral time and began to throw off parts of that morality they didn't like, thinking just saying "peace and love" would make everyone love each other. And it sort of did for a weekend.
(The current generation is evidence to the contrary and the former hippie generations had violent protests and the bombings of the Weather Underground, which morphed into climate strong-arm tactics and now Antifa to force us all to do it their way. So much for peace and luv.)
But Woodstock: The logistics of this concert are something to behold and the kindness of the townspeople saved the day, frankly. Some voice-over alluded to the "loaves and fishes" to feed the masses and that is true.
More focus on the music is what I was looking for and there wasn't a lot of video footage of that. But no one had a phone.
Woodstock was one shining moment in the hippie movement and then it was gone.
Good Girls (2018)
Pretty good but typical Netflix bias against faith
These "good girls" are pretty bad, it's a good show but lately every Netflix series always has something negative about Christianity to work into the commentary/dialog. Hey, Christians watch TV too and you aren't going to shame us into being less than. Just entertain us without denigrating a huge segment of the population, why don't you? How do you know we weren't born this way? Rude.
I Can Only Imagine (2018)
Hollywood critics didn't like it so...
That makes it worth it right there. Cried all the way through because it's a relevant, real, hard story and also, I don't have ice water in my veins. Ive never seen Dennis Quaid as the bad guy but he sure pulled it off. This story broke my heart and the song healed. Don't ever waste a hurt and Bart didn't. I would pay to see more movies like this.
