The Shadow in My Eye

Do you think God has dropped a pencil?

Yes I think so.

Do you think it will last a long time?

Perhaps. I don't know.

Are we going to heaven?

Yes, we all are.

Is Jesus then waiting for us?

Yes, he is. I'm sure he is.

That's really all you need to know. The synopsis really spoiled this movie, as what the synopsis describes took away the shell-shock factor that could make this movie a lot more impactful.

Starting off I had the day that the first half was too long and included couple scenes that I don't think did anything to the story. They created some side-plots that didn't go anywhere.

Still, when the shock hit it was brutal and tragic. The chaos was fairly well-done. Man that last shot of this movie delivered a monumental impact that spoke volumes to the side-effects of war. Stories like this usually got thrown under the bus, but collateral damage from war and bombing is very serious.

Doubting God is a common theme in movies about tragedies. However, this movie brought up a thought process that showed how God might be distracted. It was an eye-opening thought that I never heard off, and it made me wonder.

Overall, it's a solid retelling of a tragic event. 7.5-8/10.
