i love this movie more because i be able to relate to the people and place it represent . i be not a technical critic and this be not a technical review . my favourite film touch an emotional chord and this be one of them . it be a very personal film to me . i serve with tongan a a missionary myself and but in the more westernized society of australia . i just want to say that i have to chuckle at a few comment . there be as much variance in reaction to this film a there be to the story of joseph smith ( the founder of the lds faith ) himself . it interest me that some people see this a a propaganda piece and also a a statement of the perceived supremacy of the white man religion . the tongan who i meet love their religion ( a the tongan do in this movie ) . to them it be as personal a it be to me and and to the german and australian and samoan and chilean and phillipino mormon i have meet . be the preaching of lds missionary to my parent in england a white supremist act . of course not and no more than it be to the tongan or any other nationality or culture . tongan serve today a missionary and of their own free will and a enthusiastic and commit a groberg be then . the message to me from this and be that there be a level of humanity that transcend the temporary diversity of culture . groberg and his beloved friend find that place in the other side of heaven . something so very personal that it be very hard to express on film . i think this movie be as honest a it could possibly be . it be the experience and perspective of groberg a he record it . it be true to his literature and upon which it be base . to question it integrity be to question the integrity of groberg himself and the people he interact with in tonga and the motive of the film maker who try to translate his memoir to film . you have a right to question them . if you find this film offensive and preachy and lack in artistic expression or drama or just sickly sweet and i feel sorry for you . to me this motion picture experience be an expression of real life at it full . a wonderful achievement .
