Didn't see it, but I will say I had to fight back tears on Facing the Giants. We watched it with our summer camp group in the hotel room. Had a kid cry a bit during the movie, no one gave him any grief. I love those kids, a bunch of good guys.

We are Marshall...I don't know...for some reason, never watched it. |

How religious is Facing the Giants? I don't intend to offend anyone, but I'm not religious and when I saw that the movie was Christian, I decided not buy it. I'm not against religion or anything, but I'd rather not sit through a bunch of talk about God and scripture, etc. If Blockbuster or Hollywood would carry it, I'd just suck up the $3 on the chance that it's not too bad in that regard, but I've not found it at either.

watched it last night. played against marshall while in college (uni vs. marshall in div. 1AA playoff quarterfinals)...visitied the fountain etc....had to admit I teared up at least twice. it is an outstanding movie. i teared up when we visited the fountain in college when we were told the story so it did bring back some memories.

It does have some religion in it, but I would say not so much that it is all about that. I'm not sure I would be the one who asked/forced the team to watch it, but our HC this summer was VERY religious and really wanted the guys to watch it. I think you'd be able to get past the religious overtones and enjoy the story itself. The religion parts mostly focus on having faith, believing in God will help you achieve what you want essentially. It's not overbearingly religious, just a few moments in my opinion. |

I played for Hank Norton, the coach at Ferrum College, the college from where some of the players and coaches at Marshall had been recruited. In a team meeting one day, Coach Norton told us about the Marshall crash and how his former assistant coach and some of the team players had played for him and how much he thought of each of them. He got very emotional, had a tear or two to wipe away, but didn't want us to see how upset talking about this accident made him. He just shook his head and said that it was the most terrible thing to have happened to so many fine young men who had so much success ahead of them. I have not seen the movie, but I still remember the sad feeling I had when I saw how upset Coach was just talking about it ever so briefly.
