The Woodcarver Movie Theme
Matthew Stevenson is a troubled kid from a broken home. When he vandalizes the local church to get back at his parents, Matthew has to repair the damage to the church to avoid criminal charges. While working at the church, he meets Ernest (John Ratzenberger), an accomplished wood-carver who created the intricate woodwork decoration that Matthew destroyed.
Ernest has become something of a hermit, but reluctantly comes out of reclusion to help repair the church. Now Ernest and Matthew must work together to preserve the church’s beautiful antiquity, and along the way, they also manage to restore their faith in God and in life.
The Woodcarver Review
This is an awesome movie and a great family story. John Ratzenberger is terrific as a wood carver named Ernest Otto who misses his wife, who recently died from cancer. However, he finds a young man to help mold and guide, Matthew Stevenson (Dakota Daulby).
Matt’s father and mother are divorcing and they become angry with each other every time they see each other. Matt’s father, Jack, takes his stress out on Matt by constantly getting on his case. His mother Rita cannot control her temper when she gets around Jack. Matt gets into trouble at the beginning of the movie, vandalizing a church, but he likes Mr. Otto and as he works with him, Mr. Otto gets him to open up about how his parent’s relationship changed when his dad stopped attending church, and how their divorce is tearing Matt up. However, when Mr. Otto gets Matt to think in terms of “What would Jesus do?” his life begins to change in amazing ways.
The Woodcarver Movie Trailer
The Woodcarver is an incredible movie, filled with wonderful themes of faith and forgiveness and it promotes the idea that change is possible when people simply follow God. Don’t miss this one!
Thats lovely very great movie…
I’d love to receive a copy of this movie so how can I download it onto my computer?
I believe this movie was intended for good purpose upon it’s conception, However,it would of been nice that the producers of the movie acknowledge who they copied, plagiarized, and stole the script from. This whole movie is a repeat of Sidney Poitier’s movie from 2001 The Last Bricklayer. If you are gonna do a movie that supposed to depict WWJD ” WHAT WOULD JESUS DO? ” Then began with asking the Lord to give you revelation of how he wants you to make your own and not pledgerize someone else’s work.
