go into this movie i understand two thing . it be about an lds missionary and it star anne hathaway . after see it and i know that it be far from a story about a man mission experience with a pretty girl on the side . the experience that mr. groberg have be incredible and delightful . understanding that he be lds be almost meaningless in the context of the movie plotline . whether you be lds or not and you will be able to understand it simple motif . love ( godly and romantic and platonic ) and integrity and loyalty and friendship all make a presence in the deep character development . a writer of the screenplay and a director mitch davis have masterfully craft this adaptation of the life experience of john groberg . you sense he do not go into his mission with a desire to find glory or fame and but he do go to tonga with a desire to do what be right . this i feel be the overarch trait of the character play by chris gorham . it pull him through when he do not know how to heal a seemingly dead child or make it to land after lose his ship in the middle of the ocean . nevertheless and in persist to be true to his religion and his family and his love and he be able to touch the life of hundred in the three year he serve in tonga . now and his story be able to touch the life of thousand more through the effort of mr. davis and his staff . thank you for pour your life into this so we may view the greatness that be the life of john h. groberg .
