One Nation, Under God, Indivisible
A movie review for Indivisible
We all hear the word “Indivisible” when we say the Pledge of Allegiance, but most people don’t truly understand the significance that it holds. Numerous families are affected by the wounds that come from a loved one deploying overseas. Even after the family member comes home, life does not turn back to the normal that they were used to. Indivisible is a movie that was created to encourage families that are facing difficulties, even those not caused by war, to get through this rough patch.
Indivisible was directed by David G. Evans and was released into theaters on October 26, 2018, but is now available on DVD and can be rented/purchased on Amazon Prime. This movie is filled with many familiar faces for fans of the longest-running primetime medical drama, Grey’s Anatomy. Sarah Drew (April Kepner), Justin Bruening (Matthew Taylor), Jason George (Ben Warren), Michael O’Neill (Gary Clark), and Skye Marshall (Mary Hodges) can all be seen on Grey’s Anatomy.
This movie tells the true story of the Turner family. Darren Turner, an Army Chaplain, was deployed overseas to Iraq for fifteen months. The family turns to God to help them get through rough times. Even after Darren returned home from war, life was not the same because of the traumatic experiences that he went through. This movie is heart-wrenching and action-packed. The movie has scenes that will keep you on your toes. When the plot relaxes even the smallest bit, conflict will happen that will blow your mind.
Indivisible tells a story of faith and hope. The movie has inspired many families that they can get through the battle that they are facing. Indivisible encourages everyone that God is there for them and is looking out for you. The music played throughout the movie is spectacular and it fits the movie very well. Oh My Soul by Casting Crowns is one of the songs that is played throughout the movie in two separate scenes.
In my opinion, this movie was fabulous. I would give it a 10/10 rating. Even though I am normally not the biggest fan of war based movies, Indivisible was an exception. All families should watch this movie because it can relate to everyone, even if you are not a military family. When you watch this movie, make sure you have tissues with you because it may make you cry.
If watching a movie does not sound appealing to you, there is an Indivisible book that you can read! It is available for purchase at many stores, including Amazon. The book is very similar to the movie, but it provides more details that the movie cannot.
