Left Behind (2014)
Completely plausible if you believe in the Word of God
I did not read the book and I resisted seeing this movie. Any person has to come a LONG way in their walk with Jesus Christ and understand the Will of God and surrender to the Will of God in order to understand this movie. If you understand that your thinking is not necessarily His thinking; you surrender your Will to His; He has a specific plan for your life; and you follow Him in a simple faith like a child; then, and only then will you understand that this is plausible. Will such a possible event happen soon? I believe that to be true. The writing and acting are completely realistic. As Esther said to Miriam as they were leaving the Valley of the Lepers in the 1959 movie, "Ben-Hur," "The world is more than we know." God, Jesus Christ/Yeshua Hamashiach, and the Word of God are all more than we know. However, it is possible to know a great deal and believe in your heart the words of truth He spoke when He walked among us.
The Sins of Rachel Cade (1961)
You have to follow it all the way to the end
I was reluctant to stay with the movie as heavy politics reared its ugly head about two-thirds the way in. However, the story it is an extremely well-played illustration of a common problem among those in their late teens, and twenties. The main character has a set of beliefs and values and teaches others what she believes, and asks others to believe the way that she does, but her belief and value system has not been crushed by the realities of life. In the movie, her whole belief system is challenged, and she is ultimately forced to choose between compromising her values or standing for what she believes in. I really loved the ending, it was truly beautiful.
