“Inspired by a True Story”
This faith based new movie called LIFEMARK is about a young man who has tried all his life to hide the fact that he was adopted. But then out of the blue, his birth mother contacts him. Now he will have to decide if he answers and lets his birth mother in his life. LIFEMARK is a fantastic, heartwarming movie that will inspire you. It has a strong Christian view that promotes dependence on God, also believes in God's plan all the way through. It also teaches forgiveness and that we should always love others. It has a great message about pro-life and to chose adoption and the values of life.
David is a senior in high school, and he is turning eighteen soon. He also has an important speech that is coming up about something big that impacted his life. David has kept the secret all of his life that he was adopted, although the teacher suggested that his adoption would make a good topic for his speech, if he can talk about it.
When David gets home, he finds out that his birth mother has reached out to him and would love to meet him. Now David really wrestles with the thoughts of meeting his birth mother. His best friend, Nate, tells David that he thinks it's a good idea for them to meet and he thinks that they should document their whole meeting.
David then decides to meet with his birth mother, and now David has heard also from his birth father and now must decide if he would like to meet with him also.
David has a lot of questions going around in his head. Will David actually be able to meet with his birth father and mother? Will David be able to talk with them? To be open with them? Will he be able to listen to what his birth mother and father have to say about why they had to give him up for adoption?
LIFEMARK is a inspiring movie that is warmhearted and was produced by the Kendrick Brothers and Kirk Cameron, who is also a star in the movie. This movie is solid throughout; it also has positive strong Christian values, which makes it so important for these movies to reach out to different people that may be going through adoption struggles everyday.
LIFEMARK has themes about abortion and pro-life issues and adoption. The movie has been getting tough reviews and ratings from the Hollywood elects in hopes of stopping people from seeing this movie. They will do anything in their powers to stop movies that talk about stopping abortion in favour of adoption.
There isn't anything graphic in LIFEMARK; it just comes with a heavy subject.
