Review of The Eyes of Tammy Faye (2000) by Hannibal O — 28 Aug 2007

In light of her recent passing, this was a very touching film. I gained a huge amount of respect for this woman, especially when you look at the hardship she's had to endure all these years. I'm amazed how she was able to keep everything together (or at least give that impression) after both husbands went to jail, she lost her television empire, and she lost most of her wealth.

She really is inspirational and you can't help but admire the strength she showed until the very end. By the way, not that you probably don't already hate him, but after watching him, you'll absolutely despite Jerry Falwell.

The biggest irony of this movie is the hypocrisy that the Christian Fundamentalist movement has shown over the years and there is no better example than what Falwell did to the Bakkers.
