Review of The Identical (2014) by Michaelandashley B — 15 Sep 2015

If the real Elvis would have seen this movie, maybe his life wouldn't have ended the way it did. I think this movie reveals that there are some things more important in life than fame, fortune, and fun - which both Drexel and Ryan get their share of.

You get this sense that both Drexel and Ryan struggled with a sense of loss throughout their life (presumably because they were separated at birth). And even though their lives are on completely different paths, their countenance is similar - revealing that something is unresolved in their hearts.

Maybe Elvis (a twin-less twin) also shared the same struggles. If any of you are a twin, this movie is for you. I have twin boys and there is a definite spiritual connection between them and I love how this movie portrays that concept.

I'm also amazed at the amount of sarcasm directed at this movie - which usually means that there's something good about it that people are scared to face. The idea that God calls people to something is probably what people hate/fear most about this movie.

We all want to be in control of our lives - right? But the call of God is to let go of our lives, put our trust in God, and follow Jesus Christ. For those of you who love to throw sarcasm at religion, I challenge you to open up the bible and read it cover to cover.
