Bella


There's a great new film out called "Bella". I saw it last weekend and absolutely loved it. Being an independent film (winning the People's Choice award at the Toronto Film Festival this year) it isn't your typical Hollywood blockbuster.


It is not going to knock your socks off with thrilling action scenes. It won't make your brain work hard to figure out the next twist in the plot line. It might seem slow at times. And it's not a happily ever after flick either. It's a movie about people...about being human.


The characters in this film are absolutely beautiful. The story gives a realistic reflection of the beauty of life, not through fairy tale miracles or dreams come true, but through the joy found at the heart of suffering embraced and a genuine love for one another. It's real. It is pro-life in the most profound sense.


I hope all of you will go and see it if you have the chance. This is a film that deserves to be shared. God bless.
