It can be classified as a christian movie. The director Alex Kendrick is a pastor of the Sherwood Baptist Church in Albany, and he founded Sherwood Pictures.

I've looked him up. This movie Facing the Giants was released in 2006. After that, he made another movie Fireproof in 2008, and it made a huge hit. I haven't watched Fireproof yet, but I definitely will soon.

It is first time I watched a "fiction" movie which has a story of christianity. I've been wondering if it's possible to make a "fun" movie with a story of christians except the Bible stories like Passion of Christ, but it was. This movie Facing the Giants is the story of high school football team, and it even has a nice plot as a general movie. At the first part of the it I felt that the movie isn't as sophisticated as other Hollywood ones, but more I watched, I found myself diving into the story.

This movie also inspired me about my career. I have a vision to live as a christian film maker, and this movie and the director Alex Kendrick showed me one of the ways about it.

If you're a christian, you may feel what I felt and cry yourself out. Even if you're not a christian, I believe this movie will entertain you, and hope that you can be changed by the Gospel like the students in the movie.
