I received Old Fashioned in my stocking at Christmas. I am sure it was given to me because I like a good love story, however, it was so much more than that! That is a very simply stated depiction of how godly dating and singlehood should be with a great love story mixed in.
... View Moreno this film is about people adhering to Christian myths, which is pathetic to say the least. They áre trying to push the Christian myths and they have no problems lying for jebus. One can wonder what persons fund this and why? Furthermore why is this garbage even made? Do they really Think that people are that stupid?

It's a rather Old Fashioned notion to expect that from a film in this day and age but Rik Swartzwelder managed it quite confidently. The ideals and beliefs in this film may not be for everyone, in fact, many would choose to scoff it off. But I found OF to be raw and real enough to make us pause and ponder on its possibilities. The pace of the movie is a quiet stroll, with just the right measure of melodies and sceneries to accompany us. The landscape is breathtaking and cinematography, beautifully captured!There were brief instances where a scene or two seemed a tad contrived but not enough to impose on the overall flow of the film. The main characters are both credible and charming together. They easily convince you to invest in them and leave you curious about what their future holds. To me, that in itself says the movie accomplished its purpose. It persuaded me to take a slice of the story and characters back with me and left me feeling hopeful that it is possible to hold out for these Old Fashioned ideas. A delightful film!
... View MoreThis movie is about getting to know someone before a relationship and/or a marriage instead of jumping from bed to bed, and the emptiness that brings. It is about respect, building trust with another after previous broken relationships, change, and not repeating the past source of pain. It's about having a genuine relationship with another, and laying down a stronger foundation for that relationship to grow and not crumble. It is not about sex as it is about love, which is something we all really want, and are looking for. This movie is is based on meaning and not the meaningless. So if you are looking for meaning in your life, put God first, and seek, and ask, and all these things will be added to you. It is important to become the person God wants you to be not what someone else wants you to be. It is about being true to God, yourself, and others, and especially your mate. "Love is Gold" and Old Fashioned is a very great movie to let you see that.
