One of the best
This is a movie you really have to pay attention to. You cannot just watch it while, say, shooting the breeze with a friend or two. The film brings you into the heart and soul of what it means to be a fire fighter--something that few of us probably really ever know about since it is always hard to walk in another man's shoes. To watch this film is to appreciate what it means to have faith, to have a family, to have friends while at the same time risking your life because you have the skill and know-how to do a dangerous job. The movie doesn't pull any punches in trying to bring to you, and me, the viewer the highs and lows, the ups and downs, the emotional sparks and drains of living a life of danger. The film was intelligent, gritty, but tearful and makes you want to stand up and salute the brave souls who become fire fighters...police men and women ... and other noble professions that hardly get recognized under the high shine of movie stars and sports heroes. I think I learned a lot today by watching this movie. I learned that life is fleeting, just as the Bible tells us. We are here today, gone tomorrow, dust in the wind. So what do we do? How do we act? How do we perform? And how, most of all, in the sight of God and in faith in God through Christ, do we leave behind a tale of endurance, of love, of heroism.
