Unsung Hero (2024)
What an amazing story!!!
When you hear about the name Rebecca St. James, the thoughts that come to mind is "this famous Christian singer." However not too many people including myself knew of all the struggles and hardships this family had to go through.
It was a very impactful story. I was in tears through some of the scenes.
If you read the log line of this film on IMDb, the story is mainly focused on the mother who was the one who kept the family together and determined to believe that God would eventually get them through the ordeal. An he did! The film is not told from the perspective of Rebecca or having her as the main focus of the film. And that was the decision of the writer and director. And I respect that and think it's fine to tell her story and not only her daughters.
The cinematography was great. DP Johnny Derango did a great job. I specifically liked the camera movement throughout the film. It is not common specifically in drama movies to have much camera movement but it presented the story in a very interesting and captivating way.
The only issue with camera movement is when it's a close up it's very difficult to keep focus so I did see some brief parts with soft focus. However, I know this is something very difficult to achieve.
Not to often I give a movie a 10 rating however, for me the powerful story combined with a great effort by the cinematographer to present the film in an interesting manner was the reason I gave it a perfect score!
