The “My Brother’s Keeper movie started out a bit different. I wondered why the guy was struggling with his faith, but as the movie went on, the light was shed on that. Going through horrible circumstances, and trying to stay strong. Having questions about certain things, that people just told him to write off and be quiet about. It made me understand why he was having problems. Seeing the trials of war, and combat…I cannot fathom what these people go through. The struggle with PTSD, when they return is all so real. I’m hoping that it is starting to not look as bad in today’s world, to actually ask for help. For so long, people were ashamed to find assistance for this. There is nothing wrong with anyone who just needs to find new ways of getting through mental and physical struggles. In my opinion, I think that the bravery in just asking for the help goes above and beyond. After the help is received, to be able to talk to others, who are also struggling, and let them hear from someone who has been there, I think speaks volumes. Helping those to get and education about a certain instance, means a lot more from someone who has actually gone through it themselves.
I would definitely recommend the “My Brother’s Keeper” movie. It is not one for the younger audience, in my opinion. With the struggles with suicide attempts, and war scenes, I think it might be above what they can handle. Older teens, adults and many others will learn a lot from this movie. If you are going to watch it with some that have been affected by war, you might want to let them know some of what happens, just in case. It might be helpful, but I’d rather not some have to relive certain things while enjoying a movie night. The end part brought tears to my eyes, and I give thanks to all of those that have served for our freedom, and our right to follow our faith and be a voice to others.

Looks like a very powerful movie! Will have to check this out!
Sounds like an amazing movie that can be an inspiration to many!
I hope that it can be. People’s lives are so important!
PTSD is such a huge threat to our Vets. I’m all for showing them more support and care.
I agree! I just pray that more of them look into getting help.
I’m grateful every day for those who serve/served our country. Glad to see movies that bring more awareness to encourage more support for those with PTSD. More support needs to go into this area.
Amen – I agree!
I am sure a lot of service men will relate to this. It sounds like a great film to bring awareness. My dad was in the Navy as a navigator on a mine ship. He said coming back home on a ship was a slow trip and it gave everyone a chance to talk to one another and process what had happened. He said servicemen now did not get that opportunity. They were put on a plane and expected to just return to normal, which they could not do, so they suffered from ptsd a lot worse. I think we… Read more »
God bless your Dad for his service. My Dad was in Vietnam, and I remember others telling me a bit about how they were just sent back and it was like the world was against them. I cannot imagine. Our Country owes those that fought, so much more! I pray for the ones that need help, to get it!
