Movie Assignment

My all-time favorite movie is, “The Ultimate Gift”. It is such a wonderful movie and has a powerful meaning. The movie takes you through the life/change of a young man. At the beginning he’s a typical rich, spoiled 20 something man who goes to parties and doesn’t care about anyone but himself. His grandfather passes away and has left him a gift. But, in order to get this gift he has to work really hard. He them proceeds to be exposed to very challenging situations. All of his things are taken from him, thus becoming homeless. He has to make a true friend. While overseas working for his grandpa’s library, he gets taken captive and almost dies. During the course of the movie you watch as this young man makes changes. At first he is only continuing with the gift searching because he is greedy and wants money. However, he soon realizes that maybe there is more to life then riches and pleasure. He falls in love with a young mother and her daughter. I don’t want to give away the rest of the movie…. Because it is so good and if you haven’t seen it- you REALLY should. The message of the movie is so incredible. Each time I watch the movie I am reminded of the many gifts and blessings I have in my life. The movie also never fails to make me cry… which for some reason makes it even better. When a movie can get you that involved and attached, I think that almost guarantees it as a winner, at least to me! :) I love “The Ultimate Gift”!
