Anyway, this movie, to me, is one of those that is underrated, but yet so great for me. Sargent Alan York is about one of the greatest shooters of all of World War I. Started off as a Drunken Tennessee hillbilly, who for some reason still lived with his mother and his little brother in his twenties. But if there is one thing that he was good at was shooting with his drunk friends. The film literally revolves around Christianity, and the scene where he turns into a Christian is great and powerful. This scene to my dad is his favorite scene in any movie. But then America started to recruit troops to fight in the war and Alan York gets sent into Europe, due to his sharp shooting. What made this film worked for me was his transformation after he conformed into Christianity. His whole lifestyle started to change instantly from being a drunk with a bad temper, to a man who is fully committed to Jesus Christ. Never have I seen a film that ever showed a story of a man of God like this before in my entire life. And what is surprising is that this was the most highest grossing film of the year when it came out. Plus, it was nominated for 11 Academy Awards, including best picture in the 14th Academy Awards. That is saying a lot! I believe that every Christian should have this in their DVD collection. No one should ever leave this movie out, for being great in every single way.
