Luke 14:25-27

Large crowds were traveling with Jesus, and turning to them he said: “If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother, his wife and children, his brothers and sisters – yes, even his own life – he cannot be my disciple.

Prayers for Bobby

The true story of Mary Griffith, a devout Christian whose conservative intolerance of sin drove her gay son to suicide. Feeling guilty, she begins to question her interpretation of the bible and slowly reaches out to the gay community, eventually coming to terms with her son’s death and becoming one of the most famous gay rights activists. The film was nominated for two Emmy awards and stars Academy Award nominee Sigourney Weaver as Mary Griffith.

My Review

The film certainly opens our eyes not only to the fact that there are gay people among us, but also that they’re human and deserve to be treated as such. It shows just how dangerous it is to blindly believe what we’re taught. Simply trying to scare people into righteousness can have disastrous consequences, as the family has learned to unimaginable cost. Excellent directing and poignant acting by Sigourney Weaver combined to make this a truly inspiring movie. The only drawback, was the overacting of Ryan Kelly, very cliché and overly dramatized.  

WeiTing’s Review

As a movie, this show left much to be desired. A couple of monologues could have been better acted out than just voiceovers. The acting was stilted and wooden and I didn’t feel the impact it should have had on me. However, what this story aims to share is this “Love the sinner, Hate the sin”. Faith without question is blind faith. Accepting gays and lesbians is one issue. So is treating them without care. This show reminded me that there are some things we need to stand up and have a say about it instead of just being passive all the time.

Public Review

It’s basically a good movie. It enabled me to understand gay people more and how different people would react. However I wouldn’t recommend it to new-believers or those who do not yet have a strong understanding of the Bible as they may misunderstand our reaction towards a gay Christian.
