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

EP 85: Joseph Smith The Man (1980)

Link: https://youtu.be/TECB8tMdiPE 

Running time: 8 minutes

Rating: not rated 

Genre: Religious drama

This review works best if you have seen this film before, though that is not required. we will watch the short together while I provide insightful, and occasionally irreverent commentary.

Spoiler alert

Synopsis

A group of children come to Lethe Tatge's home to hear about the Prophet Joseph Smith.

Film Background 

technically speaking, this is not an official church video

this film was brought to us by the visual transit authority under the direction of famed Mormon filmmaker TC Christiansen

please let me know your thoughts on this film by sending me an email to 

[email protected]

Conclusion 

The children in this film are doing what Mormon children are supposed to do, accept elders wisdom and marvel at how lucky they are to be born into the one true church

this film is a vehicle for mythologizing Joseph Smith, to make him larger than life, to make him a legend, to lionize him, it never deals with any of Joseph’s troubling legacy, much less bring it up, no sir

Thanks so much for joining me to review this film, please like, subscribe, leave a comment, and join us next time for another episode of the MormonMovieReviews: Where LDS Movie Lovers Belong. So long.

EP 74: That Which Was Lost (1969)

Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzkdiSYmiIQ

Running time: 27 minutes

Rating: PG

Genre: Religious Drama

Synopsis

As Rick becomes associated with hippies, the concern of an adviser and an unpleasant experience help him to realize the importance of some of the things he thought he could give up. Shows how love and persistence can bring back the "lost sheep."

Film Background 

This is an official video produced by the COJCOLDS. Along with this version, a non-denominational cut and a secular cut were also produced. But I couldn’t find the other cuts video on the video library churchofjesuchrist.org

Email

[email protected]

Let’s briefly analyze the movie’s message. 

Recall the three less active members at the beginning of the movie, the lazy teacher who just stayed in bed, the mother who refused to take her child to primary because she was too busy, and the young woman who liked the latest fashions. Those are the two basic stereotypes perpetuated by the church; less active members are lazy or just want to sin. Rick fits that second mold as well, he doesn’t like the church because he wants to sin. 

But the film also introduces a rarely seen third paradigm with Rick and his father, Brother Baldwin is a faithful father, remember, he’s a return missionary, however, as a priesthood holder he is well intentioned but doesn't place a high priority on his son’s welfare. Rick went astray because brother Baldwin didn’t love him enough, as evidenced by his father’s trite obsession with hair length and refusal to spend time with him, like going to the priest quorum activity on the beach.  

Finally, let's discuss the final scenes at Turtle’s house, especially Lilly’s manic episode. Deep down, sinners really want to be rescued. They are portrayed as truely unhappy, even though they may present a happy exterior. 

The film perpetuates the idea that hippies like Turtle don’t actually care about one another. While they profess brotherhood and ‘free love’, they won’t be there when they are really needed because they are inherently selfish. Turtle bailed on his girlfriend at the drop of a hat, even though she was in serious distress. 

Final thoughts

Only righteous members of the church like Larry can be counted on. Hippies are not to be trusted. Fathers need to prioritize time with their children. 

The director of the short Wetzel O. Whitaker should have added the following subtitle to this movie: That which was lost: Be like Larry.

Welcome brothers and sisters to Mormon Movie Reviews: Where LDS movie lovers belong! My name is Dives and will we be reviewing 

EP - Saturday's Warrior (1989)

https://youtu.be/--w9bOGpi2s 

Running time: 115 minutes 

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

Spoiler alert

Synopsis

Two siblings make promises to each other in the pre-existence, but find themselves on very different paths once on Earth.

There is a lot to unpack with Saturday’s Warrior. Doctrinal issues, abortion, family planning, child abuse, loss of a loved one, access to emergency medicine during a storm, spandex, big hair. Shall I go on? This is a movie that knows it is cheesy, and embraces it 

We never really understand why Jimmy leaves the family for a time. Although we suspect drug use and perhaps some other behaviors it’s never really clear as to why he leaves home. The musical duets and solos really help us understand the characters. 

My favorite line in the movie remains when Jimmy sings Sailing on: 

There is a distant lamp, that lights the way for me, I hope they hold it high so I can see. 

If you hold this movie high, it will be a lamp for your entertainment as well.

Summer of Decision (1962)

https://youtu.be/55GX_O8fpkE 

Running time: 26 minutes 

Synopsis

The relationship between State College students Bill and Nancy becomes long distance after he transfers to Eastern University after which he starts doubting his Mormon faith. Bill proposes marriage, but Nancy insists upon a temple marriage.

Comments Section

https://archive.org/details/improvementera6605unse

of 80

Conclusion 

Film sends three primary messages

attending higher education at a school without an institute can lead to apostasy (no international institutes until 1970)

those who doubt the church are lazy

Bill never offers one real reason why he is having difficulty with his testimony. If he just attends church and goes to priesthood meetings, he will be fine. 

getting married outside an LDS temple leads to heartbreak and potentially even death

get married in the temple, or be prepared to lose your newly wed wife in a horrific car accident on your honeymoon night, have her turn into an undead zombie, and then lose her again to the mists of eternity. 

The summer of decision left me questioning my decision to watch this movie.
