What is it about underdog war movies that really gets my blood pumping? I love these types of movies and this one is one of my favorites. It wasn’t until entering recovery that the Holy Spirit gave me some special “recovery glasses” that have allowed me to spot recovery themes in various media; music, movies, photographs, etc… These themes can include support groups, honesty, selfishness, selflessness, redemption, etc… that are portrayed in the movie.
Braveheart is one of these movies. The plot of this movie has been pasted below courtesy of Google:
Braveheart tells the story of the legendary thirteenth century Scottish hero named William Wallace (Mel Gibson). Wallace rallies the Scottish against the English monarch and Edward I (Peter Hanly) after he suffers a personal tragedy by English soldiers. Wallace gathers a group of amateur warriors that is stronger than any English army.
What I saw in this movie was the fight that William Wallace had in him to be free. This is the same fight that I see in myself and many men who struggle with maintaining sexual purity. For far too long we have been under the thumb of tyranny and oppression by our sexual sin and now that we have entered recovery, we must FIGHT, fight for our freedom! This is exactly what we do in Castimonia, we come together in the group to fight against the world and the sexual sin that keep us captive. We must be willing to fight for our purity, fight for our families, and fight for our God.
I hope you enjoy watching this video as much as I enjoyed creating it. As always, take what you like and leave the rest.
