About the Movie:
William Miller’s faith is in ruins. After miraculously surviving a fierce battle in the War of 1812, Miller questions why God spared him. His search for wisdom leads to an astonishing prophesy — the world is going to end. The Hopeful unfolds as a story of a man burdened with the knowledge of Christ’s return. Miller’s message resonates with some—even as it is scorned by others. When a young woman named Ellen Harmon listens to one of his sermons she is transformed. And through her witness the message begins to take flight. The preaching grows beyond prophecy and develops into a more holistic vision for how Christians should live and worship. We see blossoming the seeds of a new global movement of faith —the Seventh-day Adventist Church. The Hopeful is the true story of a community whose lives were transformed as they learn what it means to truly wait for Jesus. This sweeping drama, set in 19th century New England, invites audiences of all ages to imagine how hope can change the world.
I have to admit, I really wasn't sure what to expect going into this one. I am not personally a part of the Seventh-Day Adventist Church, nor do I really have much (or any) knowledge of their history or beliefs. As such, I was going in a little blind with this movie. In the end, I was glad that I'd given it a chance. It was beautifully done and told a great story of the history in a way that I found to be very interesting. I don't always love historical movies--- particular those set in the 1800s, but I found this one felt different to me. I think this might have been in part due to the use of more modern music throughout the film too... seriously, I absolutely loved this soundtrack! Either way, I found myself learning more about this church and being entertained in the process! While I would certainly say that those who DO belong to that church and/or have more interest in the history of various denominations will likely enjoy this even more than I did, I was pleasantly surprised by this movie!
