This is a thought provoking film, inspired by a sermon by a pastor named Colin Smith. The “Board” consists of Mr. Mind and Presence, and Emotion, Memory, Heart, Will and Conscience. A man named Ray has witnessed to Mr. Mind about Jesus Christ and the rest of the group has to decide whether or not to agree with Ray that Jesus is indeed the savior of the world. This DVD focuses on the board’s discussions and it is cleverly written and produced, with quality sets and solid acting. Emotion has found a woman named Rachel attractive and the rest of the board has to remind him of the dangers of falling into a sensual trap.
In one interesting scene the group discusses whether or not one lie makes a person guilty of being a liar. When one member asks, “How many murders do you have to commit to be a murderer?” the entire room falls silent. They begin to realize that they have broken not one but several of the Ten Commandments, including taking the Lord’s name in vain. As Memory reveals their past failures and sins the group begins to realize their need of a savior.
This is a unique but well-made DVD with a compelling story. “The Board” will make viewers think and how many films these days do that? We gladly award this movie our Dove Seal and award it five Doves, our highest rating.
