Rachel Joy Scott 1981-1999 RIP
Let me start by saying the death of anyone at the age of 18 is by definition a tragedy. Rachel Scott who was a committed Christian never got a chance to put her life and beliefs into a wider world. Who knows what a longer life experience might have made of her. Masey Mclain gives a most touching performance as Rachel, the first person killed in the Columbine High School massacre of 1999. The larger issues of why such weaponry got in the hands of these two disturbed individuals Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold is totally ignored. We see a bit of what turned them into what they became, bullied kids who finally just snapped. I read with fascination the fact that a line was omitted from one of these characters where he admits to being gay and he's afraid of winding up like Matthew Shepard. As this is a Christian film it sure wouldn't do to admit homophobia might cause a person to snap. The story of Rachel Scott is what is concentrated on in I Am Not Ashamed. But who knows if there had been less of a bullying atmosphere and no easy access to weaponry that tragedies like Columbine might not happen. Hopefully a more intellectually honest film will come along and do just that.
Don't miss this one!
This movie was very well done. Great story and the fact that it is a true story makes it much better. It brought me back to my high school days. Rachel was a great soul who helped everyone who came in her path. I don't understand the controversy or how some say it was exploited. This is her story and she was a Christian. That's all. In her own words, "Love and compassion can start a chain reaction." Highly recommended.
wow!
so, I never really cry at movies...but for this one I did. Wow. What an amazing story and it is so heartbreaking that it is real. I have seen my fair share of Christian movies and yes some of them are terrible and cheesy but this movie, wow. The acting is great and the story and the message is great!! This amazing young women lived her life for God and I loved that it showed that she wasn't perfect, that she back-slipped a lot but she changed. I love the heart of the movie and I believe that all the actors in it wanted to do the girl's story justice and I will always love this movie! There are some great Christian movies out there people and this is one of them!
Missing the point of the movie
Atheists out there slam this movie because they think this movie is all about Christianity and cashing in on this tragedy. While yes it has Christian overtones. Rachel Scott was a Christian this was her belief and people need to respect her religion. For Atheists to slam this movie proves they don't get the point to this movie. Recently I watched a Anne Frank documentary at the beginning the director of the talks about Anne which directly Applies to Rachel Scott "The World will never know who was lost or what was lost when these kids were murdered there future was shut down for them but if we imagine what we lost we might belong with those who directly experienced this event more deeply and more humbly" Rachel Scott was a beautiful human being, if everybody was like her the world would be a much better place may she RIP.
Well Done! Recommend This for Schools and Youth Groups
How fortunate that Rachel Scott's diary was found in order to have a view into one of the lives lost at Columbine. It must have been heartwrenching for her family and friends to see this on the "big screen," but perhaps it provides a way for them to honor her life and help to continue the healing process. Because the subject matter is so disturbing, I do agree with a PG-13 rating. That being said, I also believe this movie should be shared with every youth group. It would also be beneficial as part of schools' "anti-bullying" programs. Each person impacted by Columbine has their own unique story. The struggles and questions faced by Rachel were well portrayed. The actors who were cast as Rachel and Nathan did an excellent job. Very believable. This movie showed how kindness, compassion, and forgiveness can change hearts and lives. Rachel's brief life continues to have ripple effects nearly 20 years later. The Lord truly must have welcomed Rachel into heaven with "Well done, good and faithful servant" and continues to use her life to point people to Him.
