We watched this movie, The Four Feathers<\/a>, at home this past week. I really enjoyed it.<\/p>\n

It’s not for the fainthearted. If you don’t like any kind of war movie, this isn’t for you. It takes you into the Sudan — 1875.<\/p>\n

There is a “sex” scene, more a sensual thing, though not involving the main character. And showing nothing, it’s something easily understandable, between two of a different culture entirely. There is murder, there is bloodshed. You may find great interest in how the British warred, and how the locals responded.<\/p>\n

It’s a look at other cultures, in another time, over 100 years ago. It’s about fear, cowardice, and redemption. An underlying theme is “An Englishman and a Christian” two separate people. Not what one generally would consider. It brings up a good point, being English and civilized does not make one a Christian. Being a savage warrior … can you be a Christian and stay a savage warrior? At any rate, it’s an interesting movie. We’ll be adding it to our DVD collection some day.<\/p>\n
