The boss sang it in 1992 and i experimented this fact during my west coast - east coast this summer. I was in America for 23 days with a different city, hotel room each day and for more than 3 weeks, my zapping on cable TV was a lost time : an explosion of ads, limited sport choices, silly programs about home, food, TV reality, sharks or crimes, awful movies, stupid sitcoms, looping news, well, not an once of creativity or culture
Except when i reached Salt Lake city and i discovered this movie on BYU TV : this night would be forever in my mind.
This is just an amazing feature, totally out of time and deeply engaging, a bit close to « Hideous Kinky »: it's about a young missionary sister who travels abroad to fulfill her faith. Her enthusiasm and energy is just gripping & contagious and her faith and doubts were so pure that it was deeply moving.
In a way, it was also like a slap in my face to wake me up: do i live a fulfilling existence? Am i truly happy? With my actual occupation, i can't really say that but in the same time i don't imagine everything else. It's clear that making a living from our convictions or putting efforts to concretize them is fantastic. I think that in a way, I aspire myself to that alternative life so that's explain why that kind of movies makes always a big impression on me.
In all cases, meeting this kind of girl who is driven by spiritual needs would be a miracle as looks and money seems to be the only assets in relationships today. Her experience is very well told with fun and with wisdom. It's cool to see that they can joke about their religion just because smile and laughs comes from their heart thus from their creator ! It gives also a good lesson about tolerance and compassion : loving your neighbors isn't only loving the ones who cares about you but especially the ones who are difficult ! And as in « Signs », you can understand that having faith is to never be alone and to have a special connection with the creator !
At last, the director frames with talent all the shoots and the songs are just great : « as sisters in Zion », « silent night » that is sung with a feeling of a simple joy and inner peace so true that it's the best version i have ever heard!
In conclusion, if those angels errand, they are also touched by grace as this movie really shines your day now and after !
