Bitter Wind (1963)
https://youtu.be/q5HahApUeMQ
Running time: 30 minutes

This review works best if you have seen this film before, though that is not required.
Spoiler alert

Synopsis

Billy is a simple Native American shepherd boy living on the Navajo reservation. His father George heads a tight nit and prosperous Navajo family who starts to occasionally drink with friends, coming home to a tongue-lashing from his wife Nellie. A gifted silversmith, George gradually begins to neglect his work, which provides much of the family income.

Then he begins to sell off horses, goats, and pawn his silver jewelry to pay for his habit. Billy leaves his childhood home to further his education while Uncle Bitaani chides George about his drinking to no avail. At first, Nellie begs George to stop drinking but eventually she starts getting drunk as well.

Billy returns from school and he and old Aunt Dezba are the only ones left to look after the needs of the younger children, they face hunger and the bitter winds of the harsh winter. With fleeting hope, Billy searches for his parents, hoping to find redemption.

Welcome brothers and sisters to Mormon Movie Reviews: Where LDS movie lovers belong! I am your humble host, Dives, today is March 24, 2023, and we will review

EP 98 - Mr. Krueger's Christmas (1980)

• Mr. Krueger's Christmas (1980) - Jimm...
Running time: 25 minutes
Rating: Not Rated
Genre: Fantasy
This review works best if you have seen this film before, though that is not required.
Spoiler alert

We will watch this short in totality together, while I make some insightful and occasionally irreverent commentary

Synopsis
Legendary actor James Stewart plays Willy Krueger, a widowed apartment janitor who lives in a basement flat with his cat George. On a cold Christmas Eve, he daydreams to escape his lonely life: he muses about being a man of culture and means, an ice dance at Temple Square, a sleigh ride, as well as the conductor of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, and also imagines himself in the stable with Mary, Joseph and the infant Jesus.

Let me know your thoughts on this film by sending me a message to [email protected]

Based on the story by Michael McLean who also directs this short

Final Thoughts
A man of faith, Stewart played the venerable Mr. Krueger and spoke highly of the TV special, saying he hoped it would help promote the true meaning of that holiday in remembering Christ's birth.

This is always a great film to watch around the holidays. It is charming and magical. Jimmy Stewart will always be an honorary Mormon, and I looked this up on my premium account on ancestry.com, I am so relieved that Stewart’s temple work has been done for him not just once, but three different times just to be sure. #CovenantPath

EP 90: What about Thad? (1968)
Link: https://youtu.be/J4xfuJoj5YI
Running time: 20 minutes
Rating: not rated
Genre: religious drama

This officially produced short is brought to us by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, it is a sad tale of a lonely boy that will make you feel like you have never done enough (and never will), it has a shocking twist right at the very end

What about Thad was originally released as a 16MM film in 1968. It was produced at the BYU Motion Picture studio for the Primary Association and was later released on a VHS tape with 4 other films in 1982. Wetzel Whitaker produced and the story was written by Carol Lynn Pearson.

Review
https://www.thisweekinmormons.com/2019/10/latter-day-saint-video-vault-what-about-thad-offers-bleak-inspiration/

bleak portrayal of failing to minister to the one. The leaders could have listened, could have supported, could have helped but they didn’t and we never know if they do.

MNRU Top 10 Poll of the week

What do you want to see most in the new Moroni Inspired feature length movie

MNRU Joke of the week

Conclusion

What projects are you currently working on?  

I have two things I try to maintain consistently: 

The Mormon Question of the Day: Weekday Polls on Twitter (so follow @Enos_Envy to add your vote)

Could be something simple like “What’s the scariest room in a ward building” 

or doctrinal “How many gods exist in Mormon theology”

The Aposties–the annual ExMo Awards on Twitter

I’ll be taking nominations starting in January and we have a panel of ExMos who select the winners which are announced each hour of April General Conference. 

We’d really like to host a live Aposties in person at a Chili’s someday–Cultch would have to handle the parody musical numbers.

Shout out to Jacob Hansen for winning 2022’s Mental Gymnast of the Year award. He took home the Fanny (our digital trophy is named after Fanny Alger). 

He’s sure trying hard to repeat in 2023, but the competition is FIERCE!
