Good start, but then it gets ruined
It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.
I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
I have no doubt that Faith Like Potatoes changed many lives in South Africa (I would like to believe for the good). From a (Christian) spiritual perspective, the movie was a huge success. The intention of the movie was to change lives and I think it greatly achieved that. My Vote for Value: 10/10However, it is still a movie. And there I give it a 4/10. I was not impressed with the screenplay. 1) It was too long. I would completely cut the part where the boy was killed. Yes, it was a major event in the character's lives, but it killed the movie. 2) There were many senseless scenes. For example, in one scene Angus' wife was sitting at night, painting. They had the perfect suspense- building scene. She heard a sound. A savage? Murderer? No! One of the farm workers just came to tell her that her husband's a good man. No sense in having that scene. Acting was mediocre to very bad, not convincing.
o.k. , basically , if you believe that your young son getting crushed & brutally killed in a tractor accident would be a GOOD thing & that he would be MUCH happier that way . . . then , by all means , run out & rent this piece of **** - one of the very few movies , in my whole life , that i have quit watching in the middle of because it's "message" was so sickening - the "hero" raises a complete stranger from the dead ( RIIIGHT ! ) but then when he accidentally kills his friend's son , the same result just can't be repeated ( WONDER WHY ? ) and then when a local townsperson brings up this seeming inconsistancy , they are disdainfully put down as being "mean" -possibly the most IDIOTIC movie i have ever seen !
What a story. I've met Mr Bucken this weekend and he is a man of Faith.He has more stories of how he trusted God, and was rewarded by seeing what he believes in.I strive to have faith like this man. If you watch the 2nd DVD of how the movie was made, you will understand how the "flaws" of this movie is really a blessing.This was a wonderful family movie.The movie was shot on location where the events actually happened, and not in some place foreign like a lot of other movies based on true stories.I think every one should watch this movie
This is a Christian film from South Africa and possibly the best I've seen. I watched it with great open mindness, because a lot of film directors are out to make you believe something that is not right. But at the end of this film, I realized that it had a greater effect on me than Passion of the Christ. It made me realize that God is in control of everybody's lives. You just have to trust Him. He is far greater than Satan and all the evil he puts in our lives. If you pray to Him(and believe in Him), he will help you. I heard this once... Satan is mighty over everything on earth, but God is almighty over everything!! Nothing is impossible to God. My faith has grown in 2 hours.
