We have a saying in Ministry - if it's Old to you, it's not Real to you. The fine lines of this classic gem of a film are as lovely as the grand sailing ships she portrays. Many compared and complained that Mel Gibson did another version of Braveheart in the Patriot, and that Russell Crowe does another Gladiator here.
Well it ain't so, and these are the ones for whom the sacrifice of a life lived for country, and the timeless truths of virtue under fire, friendship born of suffering, and something bigger than yourself - are not real. Goodness and doing the right thing have become old to us as a people, and it is costing every one of us.
We want to be entertained, we crave stimulation, and are addicted to ourselves. This film is the opposite of all that, and it is Good - and good for you. It will speak medicine to any heart that hears what it has to say . . .
