'Crazy Spiritual Christians' [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3104988/?ref_=nv_sr_1]

I would have to say it has likely been a good 7 years since No Strings Attached [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1411238/?ref_=nv_sr_1] that a movie has been able to iHebrews 4:12 'touch me personally' this deeply. 

I want to introduce my infamous 'Christian commentary' on this movie in that I am sure one of the reasons this movie was successful is because a lot of people can relate to the story lines and contexts in this movie.  Even if you're not even in a romance personally right now, kind of like how some people think I was 'quite in love' with my 'faith mobile', regardless of whether you have someone like that in your life, own a car or whatever; I'm sure there is something you can relate from the scenarios in that movie to your own for a lot of the audience members.

I realize that the author was likely, my guess anyway, just looking for 'a very American name' when he/she picked "Rachel" to be the female protagonist in the story, but ironically many parts throughout the theme I couldn't stop thinking about how much she kind of looks like a Asian version of Kristen Bell and how she was also "Rachel" in the movie Like Father [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7170950/?ref_=nv_sr_1].  I can relate a lot to Like Father as well, except in that movie I would say I relate a lot more to a female character than a male one. 

As I hope to sleep soon, I will try not to get into too involved of a commentary and maybe also just leave this as another [Post in Progress] cliff hanger.  Some of the elements of the movie that really 'had me going' or as I like to refer to it as 'mind and tear ducts blown' but a part of me also feels like I am in a "Nick" of a situation in that my mom is kind of also like a Monster in Law [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0369735/?ref_=nv_sr_1] and similar to the movie where there is kind of a 'inheritance ring' involved, I wonder if perhaps also the reason why mom keeps withholding mine from me and I might likewise like Nick's father in the movie end up having to do my own thing when it comes to 'the ring', but like my own version of "Colin" would say, 'it's not the ring that matters'. 

This is kind of a big spoiler for a movie that hasn't yet been released on DVD nor TV yet, but I think 'the kicker' for me that really makes me kind of 'sad', is how divergent the ending of the movie is from the narrative of my own life right now with my "Rachel" of a situation. :'(

Ok, maybe I'll [Post in Progress] then...

Not sure who invented it, but presently, it has been a number of years ago now that I have heard someone express that "a generation is ...
