“Father Stu”a movie to watch.
“Father Stu,” directed by Rosalind Ross and starring Mark Wahlberg, tells the compelling true story of Stuart Long, a former boxer who becomes a Catholic priest after a life-altering motorcycle accident. The film delves into themes of redemption, faith, and the power of personal transformation.
Mark Wahlberg delivers a heartfelt performance as Stuart Long, capturing the character’s journey from a rough-around-the-edges boxer to a man deeply committed to his faith. His portrayal is raw and emotional, bringing depth to the character’s struggles and triumphs. Mel Gibson, who plays Stuart’s estranged father, adds another layer of complexity to the narrative with his strong supporting role.
The film’s strength lies in its inspirational message and the authenticity of Stuart’s story. It does not shy away from portraying the difficulties and challenges Stuart faces, both physically and spiritually. The narrative is grounded in real-life events, making Stuart’s transformation all the more impactful.
However, “Father Stu” does have its shortcomings. The pacing can be uneven at times, with certain parts of the story feeling rushed while others drag on. Some viewers might find the film’s heavy-handed approach to religious themes a bit overbearing. Despite these issues, the film’s sincerity and the powerful performances by its lead actors make it a worthwhile watch.
Overall, “Father Stu” is a touching and inspirational film that highlights the power of faith and redemption. It is a story of a man’s incredible journey to find purpose and meaning in his life, leaving a lasting impression on the audience.

In that email, ensure that is nice, brief and polite, and ask for 4 things:

Identify that you are from their electorate. Put your contact details (including your street address) in the email so they can respond. Anonymous and emails from outside their electorate are usually ignored.
TWO
Compliment your MP. They don’t get a lot of encouragement so encourage them.
THREE
Ask for a ‘Federal Religious Discrimination Bill’ – please use those four words.
FOUR
Then use this phrase ‘People of faith must not be worse off because of this Bill’. The reason why you are using those words is that the Prime Minister has made that promise.
