5.0 out of 5 stars Eye-opener for human-rights sensibility, March 19, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Touched By an Angel: The Spirit of Liberty Moon [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I bought this tape for our fifth-year wedding aniversary, this past March 18, 1999. My wife and I watched it that same night, since both of us are loyal fans of the TBAA series here in Puerto Rico. Excellent! Roma Downey really lived out this episode, since I noticed she cried in many scenes, really feeling what was happening. The scene where she takes the beatings for Jean really is a testimony for the way God many times protects us.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another view of China, September 15, 2000

By

This review is from: Touched By an Angel: The Spirit of Liberty Moon [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I came away from watching Spirit... with a feelling of hope for China. While the program is not one that ends happily for everyone, it does leave me hopeful. Change is unsettling and change in China has been tremendous and not always positive for everyone. There are important points to be learned from this program about life in China, as lived by it's citizens that it is important to consider. The sense of inevitability once Jean enters the legal system is chilling and the helplessness of all concerned to change the outcome is especially moving. At the conclusion, you can look back and see the impact that Jean has had on the people she has come in contact with; her boss in America, his slightly frantic partner who also has felt the touch of Jean, and her former partner in freedom in China who while outwardly conforming, is still harboring thoughts of improving China from within. All of them have been influenced by her. I found this program to be one of hope for China, both now and over the long haul. TBAA has taken a difficult subject, shown it objectively and left us with the feeling that there is more to China than the pronouncements of those in power. This has been a hard review to write because I could see the conflict within China today yet remember the days of the Cultural Revolution and the turmoil that resulted. It is a clash of dreams and reality. Things are not perfect but the are better than they were. The Spirit of Liberty Moon shows an evolving progress that is far from complete. Thank you.

Now in 2007 see China struggling with many changes that might have only been imagined when Liberty Moon was written and filmed. The government is struggling to minimize dissent. It has impossed severe penalties for non-conformity. Yet China is different. I've been to the country twice and it seems to reinforce what Gus was saying which it's better than it was. Remember China by any measurement is still learning the ropes of being a capitalist society which is what it is evovling into. It may take a generation before this constant class of ideas resolves itself. In the meantime the country is evolving and slowly making progress even if westerners are impatient for it to reach the level of the west. I counsel patience and that is what I took away from the film.
