• Long Synopsis: William Miller’s faith is in ruins. After miraculously surviving a fierce battle in the War of 1812, Miller questions why God spared him. His search for wisdom leads to an astonishing prophesy — the world is going to end. The Hopeful unfolds as a story of a man burdened with the knowledge of Christ’s return. Miller’s message resonates with some—even as it is scorned by others. When a young woman named Ellen Harmon listens to one of his sermons she is transformed. And through her witness the message begins to take flight. The preaching grows beyond prophecy and develops into a more holistic vision for how Christians should live and worship.  We see blossoming the seeds of a new global movement of faith —the Seventh-day Adventist Church. The Hopeful is the true story of a community whose lives were transformed as they learn what it means to truly wait for Jesus. This sweeping drama, set in 19th century New England, invites audiences of all ages to imagine how hope can change the world. 





 

 

My Review:

 

This movie is a film covering the life of William Miller and how he came in into his faith in God. He is revealed from God when the world is ending and he is instructed like Jonah to tell and warn others about the return of Christ. He boldly declared that the world was ending in four years. Ellen Harmon is a follower and began to have vision of the day Christ is returning. They were kicked out of their own church and this inspired Miller to found his own church. This movie was very interesting in learning about the Seventh-Day Adventist Church and how they believed that the world was ending. As we all know, the world didn’t end in the four years in the prophecy he announced. I was in awe of the visions that she saw and how she had an impact on the movement of the church. I also didn’t realize that they chose to celebrate the Sabbath on a different day and Ellen had a part in changing that. Another key element in the film was how women influenced Miller and how he encouraged to tell the truth about Jesus and His return. Women played a big role in moving this church and message along. They also showed Christ as a healer and that He is isn’t just a judgmental God. The movie provides watchers with a hope of Christ returning and we get to learn about some of the beliefs from this church.
