God Grew Tired of Us

When I saw that this movie was a documentary I did not expect it to be as interesting as it was. I was amazed, touched, and just overwhelmed. The directors Christopher Quinn and Tommy Walker must have been moved as well when they heard the story of the lost boys. They had been gathering many testimonies about these boys, and before they knew it they were boarding the plane back to the U.S. with some of the chosen young men. They used not only fact, but also I think they used personal stories, to draw people in and make people very interested. I feel this movie was made to let those who do not know what has happened aware of the situation. I think that most people who watch this movie were very touched, and maybe astonished at how we are very blessed we are. When they showed how they reacted to things like technology, and even the fridge full of food, it really made me think that I am so blessed. Even though the lost boys had almost nothing they had a parliament, and believed in God, and they tried to make the best of their situation. It’s funny that here, where we have all we could ask for, we complain about small things, and blame God sometimes. We have so much more than the lost boys did, we should be thankful. God never leaves us, even though at times we feel that we can’t go on, he will always provide a way and give us help. It is sad that it takes a movie to make us think about all the blessings we have. We need to give thanks for them every day.
