Kirk Cameron in Fireproof
Product Description
Product Description
Lt. Caleb Holt lives by the old firefighter's adage: Never leave your partner behind. Inside burning buildings, it's his natural instinct. In the cooling embers of his marriage, it's another story. After a decade of marriage, Caleb and Catherine Holt have drifted so far apart that they are ready to move on without each other. Yet as they prepare to enter divorce proceedings, Caleb's dad asks his son to try an experiment: The Love Dare. While hoping The Love Dare has nothing to do with his parents' newfound faith, Caleb commits to the challenge. But can he attempt to love his wife while avoiding God's love for him? Will he be able to demonstrate love over and over again to a person that's no longer receptive to his love? Or is this just another marriage destined to go up in smoke?

A feel-good drama, Fireproof has a strong agenda: stay married, lead an honest life, and let your faith in a higher power help guide you. A still boyish-looking Kirk Cameron (Growing Pains) stars as Caleb Holt, a mercurial-tempered firefighter whose marriage is on the rocks. He clearly enjoys his status as a hero, but it comes at the expense of his marriage. His wife Catherine (Erin Bethea) is tired of the distance and wants him to make more of an effort at home, rather than surf porn on the Internet and hoard his earnings toward his dream fishing boat instead of helping out her disabled mother. Faced with impending divorce, Caleb's dad challenges him to follow the "40-day love dare," in which each task (cook her dinner, say nothing negative, etc.) is meant for him to better understand love and commitment and try and win his wife back. The third film by brothers Alex and Stephen Kendrick, Fireproof is the siblings' most polished feature. Cameron does a fine job of making Caleb real and believable, even when we're not always liking him. Though saddled at times with maudlin lines, Cameron adds emotion and range to his role. There is a not so subtle theme that the Holts--who at the beginning of the film are agnostic--needed religion to save their marriage. Clearly, Fireproof believes in its agenda and was made with the Christian audience in mind. Whether secular audiences will fall under its spell as well is debatable. But no one should walk away from the film offended. --Jae-Ha Kim

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Most of the positive reviews focus on the message. Most of the negative reviews focus on the technical quality of the movie, and/or the reviewers' feelings about Christianity. Accordingly, I'd like to chime in on these three topics.
Technical Quality: Although I did like the movie, I have to admit the negative reviewers have a point here. The cinematography and special effects are more in line with what you'd expect on a TV show than a feature film. There's nothing glaringly awful, but the viewer is definitely aware this film was not financed like a big-budget Hollywood movie.
The acting performances are about the same. Cameron puts in a solid professional job, but nothing that's going to go down in history as one of the great performances of all time. The rest of the cast is pretty spotty, and most of them have at least one line or one scene that comes off a bit lame. Again, not so bad as to be unwatchable, but definitely below average for feature films.
The Message: This is why people like the film, and why I liked it too. There are actually two messages here - one about marriage and one about Christianity. Most of the negative reviewers can't seem to separate these two issues, which is understandable since there' entwined. Let me take a stab at dealing with them separately.
The marriage-related messages portrayed in this movie are:
1) Married people who are predominantly focused on their own feelings and their own needs are not likely to succeed. Marriage takes a lot of work, and a predominantly selfless attitude.
2) In order for a marriage to work, both partners have to be willing to admit that they are flawed human beings, that they make mistakes, that they are sometimes selfish and hurtful, and that they sometimes have to ask humbly to be forgiven. Christians certainly recognize this message, but it applies equally to non-Christians (except for those who are perfect, many of whom apparently have written reviews of Fireproof here).
3) There will be conflicts and hard times during a marriage, and when this happens, both partners must be committed to making it work and ensuring the survival of the marriage - even when this seems like a lot of work and doesn't seem to be rewarded or recognized.
4) For a marriage to really work, both partners will have to continually grow and improve themselves - often in ways that are not comfortable and entail sacrifices.
Anyone who has actually been married for a while and worked through problems will recognize the above themes as true to life - and, most emphatically, true to life in a way that Hollywood movie portrayals of love and romance are definitely not true to life.
I believe that most of the people who liked this movie - certainly me and my wife - are resonating with FINALLY a movie that seems to understand what enduring marriage and love that grows over the years are really all about. Most movies portray love as a state of blissful happiness - which it sometimes is - but miss the larger picture of love as an ongoing project that two people work on, working hard and selflessly, for many years.
The Christian Message: People who are just flat-out offended by Christianity, or those who have past traumas, grudges, or anger toward Christians, simply are not going to like this movie. If you're in this group, just don't go.
The people in this movie express and embody their work on their marriage and their personal growth through their faith. If you're a Christian, you will very likely identify with this and see it is a positive.
If you're a non-Christian who has a generally benign, friendly attitude toward Christianity and Christians, this movie might be worth a try for you. The challenges these folks face and the things they have to overcome are not limited only to Christians, and may be familiar to you. They do frame their solutions and their personal work in Christian terms. If you're interested in Christianity, or how Christains frame and work through personal problems, then this movie might have some interest for you.

Mit Sicherheit hätte man Vieles was mit der Feuerwehr zu tun hat realistischer darstellen können. Das ist aber nicht der Schwerpunkt des Filmes. Es war eine Laienschauspielergruppe die einen Film produzieren wollte, Ehepaaren in Schwierigkeiten zu helfen. Es war sicher nicht ihre Absicht einen Actionfilm zu drehen. Ich denke da gab es sicher auch harte Grenzen an finanziellen Mitteln. Und ich könnte mir vorstellen, daß sie nicht unbedingt damit gerechnet haben, daß der Film solch eine Resonanz hervorrufen würde. Einem kleinen Fußballclub vorzuwerfen er spiele nicht wie Bayern München wäre genauso unfair.
Mit Sicherheit kann man nicht erwarten daß dieser Film allen gefällt, da sind die Geschmäcker zu verschieden. Aber es ist eine Wohltat, daß es Menschen gibt, die sich soviel Mühe gemacht haben um die Möglichkeit aufzuzeigen, der traurigen Bilanz der Ehen, die scheitern oder zu scheitern drohen, eine andere Antwort zu geben als Trennung. Auch wenn einem der Film vom Stil her nicht gefallen sollte (mir gefällt er sehr): wer ihn als Betroffender ansieht hat die Chance seine Situation mal in einem anderen Licht zu sehen und Gedanken zu bekommen, wie man seine Ehe vielleicht verändern könnte.
Für einen Film, der extra gedreht wurde um Ehepaaren in Krisen zu helfen ist es normal, das der Schwerpunkt eben darauf liegt, Ehen zu retten. Wer einen Actionfilm sucht sollte diesen hier nicht kaufen.
Da in der Kurzinfo steht: - Christliches Ehedrama, in dem sich ein nicht abspülender Feuerwehrmann dank Handbuch zum liebenden Gatten wandelt- (find ich zwar blöde formuliert, aber die Info ist da) kann ich den öfter genannten Vorwurf, daß er auf christlichem Glauben fundiert ist nicht verstehen.
Übrigens: was die deutsche Syncronisation angeht kann ich nichts bewerten, denn ich sehe den Film grundsätzlich nur auf englisch an, weil mir diese Version so gut gefällt daß ich die andere gar nicht brauche. Mit deutschen Untertiteln ist es auch für Leute die nicht so gut in Englisch sind kein Problem dem Film zu folgen (wir haben ihn sogar schon mit Leuten angesehen die überhaupt kein Englisch konnten, da gab es die Syncronisation noch gar nicht, und sie haben alles verstanden)
The "Love Dare" has been used by many of our friends who have found that love is the key. Not the kind of love that is all about sex lust or self, but the real thing! The kind of love that is in the very core of our beings. The kind of love that the Bible is refering to when we read God is Love. 1 Cor 13 says this kind of love never fails.
I would have to say a 100% I agree and so do many folk spared the horror of a failed marriage with all the damage it does to children, self and society.
This book is truth, undiluted. It will make those of us who say "I'm a good person, it's them" who are causing all the problems reallise that that is a deception and a lie. As you read each day, the truths about your own nature will be revealed and, and the understanding you need to start living a life the way it was inteded for you to live. In fact it is the route to personal happiness and fullfillment.
Will you pay the price for a liftime of valued relationships and honest self assessment.
Be brave. Give it a try. See your relationships and your life restored.
Film très bien fait et très profond.
