Song Sung Blue Christian Review
Song Sung Blue is a soft, introspective, biographical drama that focuses on music not as a big spectacle, but as a necessary means by which people comprehend their grief, thirst for connection, and longing to be understood. As a matter of fact, the film is very human in its approach, telling the stories of the lives touched by music, people’s belief in themselves, and the common struggle.
While I was watching the film, I kept recalling Psalm 96:1: ” O sing unto the Lord a new song; sing unto the Lord, all the earth.”
The characters deal with the problems of chasing their dreams, the love of their family, and the wish to be able to leave a recognizable trace in this world. Their songs, therefore, become more of a healing instrument than a means for getting fame; hence the movie reflects Ephesians 5:19, where believers are encouraged to communicate with each other “by psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs.” When the people decide to come together to work on and share their creations, they also feel a real community, thus, seeing God using the joint work to unite the hearts.
The film from an ethical perspective is moving positively. It does not glamorize the dark side of the life that is neglected. In point of fact, the plot centers around the issues of hard work, reuniting with the family, and receiving another chance. To see characters choosing the way of grace rather than that of anger is a living demonstration of the words from Romans 12:15, “Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn.” The characters are emotionally honest, and the film does not fall into the trap of being vulgar.
However, the plot never spiritually uplifts to a totally different level showing the characters confessing to and depending on above. The music is considered to be the main ray of hope, instead of being the Giver’s gift. Even though the film is not reluctant in giving credit to the charm of human relationships, it still doesn’t acknowledge Christ as the ultimate healer of the broken hearts. To a believer, that absence is experienced – not as antagonism but rather as incompleteness.
This film can be regarded as suitable for a family audience. The thematic material is of a mature nature but is handled in a gentle way, thus, the film is appropriate for teenagers as well as adults and most families will find it suitable.
In the end, Song Sung Blue is a very restrained expression pointing to the fact that music can be a means of comfort and bringing people together – for Christians, the deeper truth is that it is a whisper rather than a noise – songs are the most uplifting when they are directed to God, thus, leading the hearts back to the One who, in the first place, gave us music.
