my one liner say that this be an inspiring movie . unfortunately and some of the other reviewer feel pretty uninspired by it . i guess their a priori hatred for the protagonist and his religion be the predicate for these feeling . this film be base on true event . it be not mormon propaganda a suggest by many . the missionary happens to be a mormon but the story would be a move despite the denomination . it be the story of a young man on a religious mission to the tongan people . his companion be a native and his mission be characterize by a love for this people and not condescension to them . how anyone could watch this film and come away with bad feeling be beyond me . the whole point of the film be about love our fellow man and give them due consideration . the protagonist have his detractor in the film also that he eventually win over with his sincerity and goodness . if some one do not like this film fine but to use these page a a canvas for paint one hatred demonstrate the need for film of this kind . there be a lot of hatred and bigotry in the world that need to be do away with . this film demonstrate one example of how understanding and respect develops between people . i be sorry member of the new inquisition miss this point . i give it an positive .
