Field of Vision Review

I was able to pre-view Field of Vision tonight with my kids. All I can say is, plan to have movie night this Saturday with your family. This is an inspirational movie laden with values you would hope to instill in your children. The movie starts out with a typical family getting ready for a busy morning of work and school. You get a glimpse into each personality and know that this is a caring, loving family. The parents obviously raised their son, Tyler, the high school star quarterback and daughter Lucy to be respectable and good kids.

Then comes Cory, a new kid in high school that has had a rough life. He is all alone with the death of his mom and never knowing his father. He’s exceptionally bright which ticks off some of the football jocks that slack off during class. When the teachers call on several football players, they fail to give an answer, then when the teachers ask Cory, he gives a simple, non-show-off but correct answer.

When Cory joins the football team, it was too much for the jocks to handle. They start bullying this poor kid. I had sympathy for Cory from the beginning because of his hard life story and because I know how difficult it is to move to a new school. I personally attended 7 schools while growing up, luckily I wasn’t bullied. It’s hard enough just being the new kid.

The story gets complicated when the star quarterback, Tyler has to make a decision to do what is right or what is easy. During a literature class, the teacher was talking about the integrity of a character in a book. The one line that stuck with me throughout the movie was from Cory as he was talking about the main character. He said, “Life isn’t worth living if you don’t tell the truth“. Isn’t that the truth?!

There is so much more to this movie as the integrity and character of both Tyler and Lucy’s are put to the test. All I can say is that this is a heart-warming movie that your family deserves to see. My kids, as young as they are, had so many questions about the movie. It gave us the opportunity to talk to them about core values of telling the truth, not bullying, and treating others like you would have them treat you. Any movie that gets kids and parents talking about things that are important in life is highly regarded in my book.

Make plans now for Saturday to be Movie Night in your home. You won’t regret it! Field of Vision is airing on Saturday, June 11 on NBC at 8pm ET/7pm CT.
