Review of Meet the Mormons (2014) by Keith B — 11 Oct 2014

As I sat and watched the movie, I opted to put aside for the duration of the movie, my knowledge about The Church of Jesus Christ and Mormonism, and objectively watch the movie "through the eyes" of a young man of years ago studying to be a Baptist minister who had a limited knowledge of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and its beliefs other than what he had learned through brief encounters with Mormon missionaries prior to leaving home for military service.

I was overwhelmed by the examples that each of the six Latter-day Saints portrayed, and how through those examples there was always the open invitation to everyone to come and "Meet the Mormons" and learn more about who they are.

I believe that one of the main things that makes this movie stand out and capture the attention of viewers is the fact that gospel conversations were able to be held without actually having a conversation riddled with doctrine and gospel principles, fulfilling the old adage that people would rather see a sermon than hear one any day.

Each of the stories that comprise the movie are mini sermons within themselves without the actual "preaching." Each story leaves the viewers, regardless of their faith and beliefs, with something concrete to think about.

"Meet the Mormons" is a powerful movie that transcends cultures, races, and belief systems to convey the message "there are melodies in each of us.".
