big friendly dog : clifford of course - extra emphasis on big . he may not be the trope namer but he is certainly one of the strongest examples of this trope . he is literally as big as a house and is a such a lovable sweetheart .

did you ever wonder how emily elizabeth’s parents manage to feed clifford , the biggest , reddest dog of all time , year in and year out ? apparently , clifford himself never really thought about it before .

a really big yawn . . . no one whose age is into double digits will find much to enjoy in this gentle , innocuous and very dull feature .

due to john ritter ' s death in 2003 , the film and getting to know you serves as the series finale to clifford the big red dog .

according to wiki , the only other film nominated in the animation category in 2004 apart from incredibles and shark tale was shrek 2 . other hollywood animated films that year were the spongebob movie , polar express , home on the range and clifford ' s really big movie so there wasn ' t many great ones that year ( not sure about foreign ones though )

title theme tune : for the original pbs television animated series , though not the clifford ' s puppy days spin - off , which manages to avoid it . * " clifford ' s so much fun , he ' s a friend to us all ! i love clifford the big red dog ! ( woof ! ) "

exactly what it says on the tin : the books and cartoon are about a dog named clifford who is big and red .

as emily elizabeth howard , clifford ' s kind owner who loves him very much .

what a cute movie ! john ritter makes a wonderful clifford and and am so happy they had the tv series and movie completed be fore he passed . i loved the clifford books as a kid and i am so happy i can relive them with my son - he loves clifford too ! he especially loves the music in this movie - great work !

trailers looked really fun . animation looked gorgeous . easy to market concept . ( furries ? )

unlike television cartoons that sell their souls to make the leap to the big screen , this animated g - rated film is faithful to norman bridwell ' s beloved book series about the big red dog .

clifford is not just a big red dog ; he ' s a big , red phenomenon , hero of a series of books by norman bridwell , an animated pbs series , a live road show , and now this film . clifford is a really , really big red dog , which is part of his appeal to toddlers , who live among giants and are thus drawn to huge , powerful but kind creatures who love children ( like barney ) . children also like the way that clifford explores the world around him , learning gentle lessons about getting along with others and solving problems like finding lost toys and not being afraid of a storm .

then there’s the polar express . i really really love it , and it has become a holiday tradition in my household . even so , it’s motion capture , so it really had no business being in the running . ( this opinion will come back to haunt me in my 2006 write - up when i defend the inclusion of the motion capture nominee ) .

guarantee the perfect movie night with tickets from fandango . find theater showtimes , watch trailers , read reviews and buy movie tickets in advance .

i liked how the animals work together with all their show tricks to help clifford at the end . and i liked how at one point in the movie big t - bone’s owner , sheriff lewis , hears the phone ring and answers his sandwich !

lyrical dissonance : the really big tribute cd . jody gray loves this trope . they got jody gray to write the score and lyrics to the cd . cue emily singing about how great clifford is - to a tune that sounded bitter . this also happens to some extent in the movie , who ' s music and lyrics are , unsurprisingly , scored and written by jody gray . although the movie leans towards mood whiplash instead .

canis major : again , when they say " big " , they aren ' t kidding .

review : released hot on the heels of disney ' s talking - pup picture teacher ' s pet , this feature - film version of a popular children ' s cartoon revolves around everyone ' s favorite big red dog . clifford ( voice of john ritter ) lives the good life on idyllic birdwell isla… ( more )

clifford the big red dog gets bigger than ever in “clifford’s really big movie , ” a take - no - chances transfer of the money - printing franchise from page and tube to the bigscreen . harmless tale of the giant pooch helping out some itinerant performing animals while longing for home will go down smoothly with the preschool faithful , but anyone over 5 will feel antsy even given the brief running time , indicating modest theatrical returns before ancillary cash - in . as a point of comparison , “barney’s great adventure , ” with its similar demographic , grossed $ 12 . 2 million domestically in 1998 .

clifford ( voiced by john ritter ) , the big red dog of children ' s books and the tv series , hits the big screen for his great adventure . clifford lives on birdwell island with emily elizabeth . clifford hears the next - door neighbor talking to emily ' s father about how much it cost to feed clifford . clifford is worried that the family might lose their house just feeding him . clifford sees a poster announcing a contest for the best animal act with the winner getting a lifetime supply of dog food . clifford , and his two dog friends , cleo , and t - bone , leave the island and join a traveling carnival show . they become friends with other animals in one of the sideshows , and soon , they become stars . douglas young ( the - movie - guy )

the popular clifford the big red dog children ' s television series gets a slick makeover , without losing any of its charm or soulfulness , in the feature adaptation clifford ' s really big movie . more elaborate background animation and updated computer effects turn this clifford adventure into a visual treat , perfect for a story in which gigantic clifford ( warmly voiced by the late john ritter ) , plus poodle - pal cleo ( cree summer ) and loyal mutt t - bone ( kel mitchell ) , run off to join a failing animal circus and win ( hopefully ) a lifetime ' s supply of dog food . ( clifford is worried his beloved human family is spending too much on his care and feeding . ) a guest vocal cast that includes john goodman , wayne brady , and jenna elfman turns up the juice as clifford offers his services to a big top spectacular featuring a rollerblading dog , a cow on a high wire , and a juggling ferret . a sweet comedy for the whole family . - - tom keogh

clifford the big red dog ( tm ) , cleo and t - bone star in their first movie adventure ! clifford and his pals set off on a cross - country road trip when they enter a talent contest to win a lifetime supply of tummy yummies . teamed with new friends , including shackelford the high - flying ferret and rodrigo chihuahua of steel , this funny menagerie work together to turn a broken - down act into a record breaking show ! as always , clifford ' s big love makes everyone a winner .

so , who is this film really made for ? yes , it made enough money , but does that really say anything ? do kids like this film about a fish that owes five thousand clams ( really ? the loan shark thing wasn’t enough ? ) and manages to be there when a shark accidentally dies and so he parlays that into a reputation as a shark killer , but of course , he’s really a fake . how much would kids enjoy that ? at least they might not see how obviously he will end up with the fish that really loves him rather than the “attractive” one who is just using him .

there are no updates for this movie . have an update ? send it in !

after awhile , clifford starts being the star of the show . and shackelford the ferret , who’s always been the star of the show , is jealous and says some mean things to clifford…

cuteness proximity : on clifford ' s puppy days , clifford is extremely small , extremely cute , and tends to evoke this reaction , particularly in anyone seeming him for the first time .

unfortunately we don ' t have any information about this movie yet . if you have any information about this movie , it would be great if you could submit it to us .

the limited animation style looks static on the big screen and the movie is too long for its age group even at 75 minutes . ( it was too long for my age group , too . )

come on , rapscallions , live a little ! this movie is good , not boring ! that barney movie ( barney ' s great adventure ) isn ' t lame , also good ! ! ! live a lit . . . continue reading

talking in your sleep : in " paw print picasso " from clifford ' s puppy days , after clifford gets paint paw prints all over emily elizabeth ' s painting and his friends suggest he tell her the next day , daffodil discovers him alone the next morning on emily elizabeth ' s bed , tossing and turning in his sleep and muttering " it ' s my fault , it ' s my fault . . . "

: pretty much everyone on birdwell island loves clifford . even the bleakmans have moments where they admit they care about clifford and like him . the 80s theme song even

that wasn ' t too bad . just not a super creative format to pitch a movie is all .

of course , in a clifford story , people who are mean or annoying are always sorry in the end , so i’m sure shackelford comes around . so , did you like the movie ?

covers always lie : the cover of the warner home video live action movie had a black girl hugging clifford . not that there ' s anything wrong with that , but fans are used to seeing emily elizabeth hugging clifford and not some random kid . hence said fans were understandably worried that warner had given emily elizabeth a race lift .

larry ' s amazing animals finally receives entry for the tummy yummies contest , and shackleford tells clifford how much he despises him , causing clifford to get angry and leave , although cleo and t - bone convince him to return . larry ' s amazing animals wins the contest , but the ceo of tummy yummies , george wolfsbottom , steals clifford for his spoiled daughter madison .

pity about the punk cat in space ; sounds like the title of a movie that could have been fun .

opaque nerd glasses : mr . bleakman doesn ' t have pupils from his glasses , though averted in the movie when he ' s given the same eyes as everyone .

i didn’t really mind this , but i’m just going to warn you that some of the characters looked different than the way they look on the tv show .

imagine spot : these very frequently take place , courtesy of clifford most of the time .

parents need to know that in this full - length animated movie meant for very young kids , there are a few incidents in which misunderstanding , jealousy , and lying result in mild suspense and jeopardy to the main characters . little kids may feel sad when clifford the big red dog and his buddies leave home , when emily elizabeth realizes that clifford is missing , and when clifford is captured and taken away . but worrisome events resolve quickly ; the film has a happy ending ; and characters who ' ve misbehaved learn important lessons .

never really took to the incredibles ; too long , too loud , plus i also generally don’t have much use for the type of superhero films that it salutes . btw , the character is edna mode . not kylie mole’s mother , sadly . ( that’s an australian inside joke . )

when junior asparagus breaks his dad ' s bowling plate , junior lies about it , then junior lies more until he can ' t stop . and his friend fib , grows big and takes over bumblyburg !

unlike so many questionable cartoons nowadays that feature overly mature content , violence , or sarcastic humor , all the clifford cartoons are truly child friendly and feature wonderful stories about family and friendship and teach great life lessons . this movie was no different and kept the kids entertained on a long trip . go clifford !

the next day , clifford overhears the howard ' s conversation with their neighbor . he mistakenly believes he ' s a financial burden on the family and decides to join the amazing animals , with t - bone and cleo joining him . after escaping a town afraid of clifford , the group finds larry ' s animals . since larry cannot accept animals with owners , they dispose their tags , claiming they ' re to trick dogcatchers . clifford helps the others improve their acts and immediately becomes the star of the show , much to shackleford ' s annoyance . meanwhile , emily elizabeth searches for clifford and finds out he ran away .

some children might find clifford ' s tale on the tame side , but at least as many parents will be happily surprised by the warm and cuddly tone .

this marks the first feature film collaboration of grey griffin and wayne brady . they would not star together in another movie until

finally , there was the one ocean - set adventure that didn’t make it in : the spongebob squarepants movie . i get that it probably it didn’t get nominated because of its tv roots , but it’s a genuinely great movie . it has wall - to - wall comedy that hits more than it misses , a very cinematic plot and look , and it’s surprisingly emotional .

uh huh . they used more elaborate animation for the big screen than on the tv show , which i think is good , but somehow the character designs weren’t really quite right . clifford looked like himself , but sheriff lewis and mr . bleakman and some of the others looked kind of wrong , didn’t they ? i think they should have tried harder to make the characters look the same , despite the fancy animation technique .

waking non sequitur : in " helping paws " from clifford ' s puppy days , clifford shouts " not it ! " upon being woken up by daffodil after she relives him from babysitting so he can take a nap , as if he thought they were playing tag .

if your kid loves clifford , you ' re going to see this movie . we might wish for something a little more ambitious in our children ' s entertainment , but at least there ' s nothing more offensive than a burp joke here - - something you can ' t say for most movies aimed at kids these days , even in the realm of g .

this was john ritter ' s final theatrical film role as he died of aortic dissection on september 11 , 2003 . the film was dedicated to his memory , and it serves as the series finale , as no episodes aired after the film ' s release , though the show ' s spin - off clifford ' s puppy days continued to air before concluding in 2006 .

america ' s beloved big red dog stars in this really big adventure ! after overhearing that he costs a lot to feed , and mistakenly thinking that he ' s a burden to his friends , clifford runs away to join a carnival contest that ' s giving away a lifetime supply of tummy yummies . soon , clifford is the star of the show , and shackleford the ferret , who ' d always been the star , gets jealous . clifford just wants to help and win the contest - but getting back home may not be as easy as he thinks , even after the contest is over . starring the voices of golden globe - winner john ritter ( " bad santa , " tv ' s " eight simple rules " ) , emmy - winner wayne brady ( tv ' s " the wayne brady show , " " who ' s line is it anyway ?

the reason it was lukewarm in the uk was because tintin ' s something of an icon there , and some people were really touchy about it . here , while having no name recognition cuts into its box office , it helps in terms of general reception because there ' s almost nobody that ' s going to be up in arms about it raping their childhood . it ' s going to get near - stellar reviews once it ' s widely screened for american critics . still , i think rango has a fighting chance .

mood whiplash : the music from the movie . for something that ' s supposed to be fun , they have extremely depressing songs about how you gotta hit the lows before you can find the highs .

they finally catch up with the carnival and start traveling around with them . but meanwhile , emily elizabeth notices that clifford is gone and figures out that he’s left the island .

the animated movie takes children and their families on clifford’s biggest adventure yet , a rollicking cross - country road trip starring everyone’s favorite big red dog and his best friends cleo , t - bone and an entirely new cast of characters . the animated film was originally released in 2004 by warner brothers and features the late john ritter as the voice of clifford as well as wayne brady , jenna elfman and john goodman . a scholastic entertainment production , the cast also includes grey delisle ( what’s new scooby - doo ) , jess harnell ( lilo and stitch ) , kel mitchell ( adventures of rocky & bullwinkle ) , judge reinhold ( beverly hills cop iii ) , kath soucie ( rugrats go wild ) , cree summer ( a different world ) , and wilmer valderrama ( that 70’s show ) .

i took my 4 year old daughter to see clifford . she loved it . i would recommend the film to anyone with pre - school children . no scary parts , kept her attention , nothing offensive . when we got home all she wanted to do was play her clifford game on the computer . older children would be bored ( obviously ) . i take my kids to see movies about once a month , and there are times that i am uncomfortable with the content of the film . so often any more the movies are marketed towards kids of all age groups and contain bathroom humor and suggestive material . clifford ' s really big movie was marketed properly and the delivered product was predictable . i felt it was well worth the money and will purchase the dvd when it is released . i got a lump in my throat after the last scene . the words " for john " .

i remember that i found it ironic that will smith’s character in “shark tale” was named oscar , because that is also the name of an award that i thought the movie should never have been nominated for .

continuity reboot : between the nelvana videos and the scholastic self - produced tv series . the former made no mention of birdwell island and / or any of clifford ' s or emily ' s friends that the latter is much more commonly known for .

families can talk about how clifford got the wrong idea by hearing only part of what emily elizabeth ' s parents said about him . what should he have done instead of leaving ?

a teaser trailer that made it look like the most generic , uninspired cg - animated movie since early - 2000s dreamworks with shark tales .

clifford , t - bone , and cleo after eating a lot of dog treats in " tummy trouble " .

larry ' s amazing animals finally receives entry for the tummy yummies contest , and shackleford tells clifford how much he despises him , causing him to get angry and leave , although cleo and t - bone convince him to return . larry ' s amazing animals wins the contest , but the ceo of tummy yummies , george wolfsbottom , steals clifford for his spoiled daughter madison .

another good example is when clifford volunteers to watch t - bone ' s pile of leaves while he ' s away from the group , intending to jump on them later . clifford however gives into temptation and takes the jump without t - bone ' s permission , resulting in his entire pile being blown away . clifford resolves to collect every single leaf he can from the pile , as in the exact same leaves that have now been blown all across the island , even rejecting every other leaf he can sense was not from t - bone ' s pile . naturally , cleo thinks he ' s being ridiculous , and yet somehow he manages to pull it off all before t - bone gets back .

the next day , clifford overhears the howards ' conversation with their neighbor . he mistakenly believes he is a financial burden on the family and decides to join the amazing animals , with t - bone and cleo joining him . after escaping a town afraid of clifford , the group finds larry ' s animals . since larry cannot accept animals with owners , they dispose their dog tags , claiming they are to trick dogcatchers . clifford helps the others improve their acts and immediately becomes the star of the show , much to shackleford ' s annoyance . meanwhile , emily elizabeth searches for clifford and finds out he ran away .

the movie was released by warner brothers rather than by artisan entertainment . the cast was limited to a few regular characters and assortment of guest characters .

clifford and his friends always have good intentions but make mistakes ( even lie when they pretend to be strays ) as they set out to win a contest and help clifford ' s family . everyone in the story , even the most selfish and / or resentful characters , learns a valuable lesson . most grown - ups and parental figures are portrayed positively . there ' s ethnic diversity throughout .

shun : ( holding his hand to his ear ) sorry . can ' t hear ya ' . these birds are too loud . ( clifford barks from inside emily elizabeth ' s backpack . )

lovable alpha bitch : jetta might be a snotty rich bitch in training , but she ' s still part of the group ( and clifford likes her ) . machiavelli is a rare male example .

a labrador retriever named clifford visits a carnival with his owner , emily elizabeth and her friends , charley and jetta , and clifford ' s friends , cleo and t - bone . clifford , cleo , and t - bone are amazed by an animal act known as larry ' s amazing animals , consisting of shackleford the ferret , dorothy the cow , dirk the dachshund , and rodrigo the chihuahua . after the show , shackleford discovers that the only way for their performances to continue is to win a tummy yummies animal talent contest , promising fame , fortune , and a lifetime supply of tummy yummies . when clifford and his friends go to collect their autographs , shackleford attempts to convince them to join the act , believing clifford ' s appearance would help them improve , but none of them agree because they do not want to leave their owners .

in the u . k . , the show was redubbed with british actors with tom eastwood being the voice of clifford .

supporting protagonist : for being the main character , clifford isn ' t the focus a ton in the 2000 animated series .

despite the movie ' s rather unoriginal story - - that age - old plot about running off to the join the circus - - at least the filmmakers have created something which , though a little bland , is never crass or vulgar .

doubtless the filmmakers felt as if they had to open things up , making it bigger and wider and louder for the big screen . and the pressure to do something more is probably what made them include a few mediocre soft - rock tunes and give the animation a more rounded , shadowed look . but the changes don ' t make the movie any better , and they do make it feel less like the clifford that toddlers know and love . when you ' re 3 , familiarity breeds content , and it ' s an odd move to mess with that .

with over $ 697 million dollars in box office revenue . zootopia is a bonafide box office smash who would have thought at the beginning of the year that zootopia would be such a big hit .

the film : animated films don’t just have to be aimed towards kids . the pixar films and the shrek films had made that quite clear . but kids films should be primarily aimed towards kids . when a film like shrek 2 has a joke about how you might find starbucks across the street from each other , it’s a joke for the parents , but it’s just a little joke . it’s not the whole film . but when a film that’s supposedly for kids has a plot about loan sharking ( literally in this case , since we’re dealing with anthropomorphic sharks ) and about gangsters and it makes references to films like the godfather and goodfellas and you have to get an idea of that to be able to really understand the film , well then you’re not making a film for kids , you’re making a film that’s pandering to adults . and you can’t claim it’s really for adults when you have garish animation , a movie about talking fish and a lot of silliness along the way ( in finding nemo , the fish act human , but in this ridiculous movie , they basically are human but with fins ) . what you’ve simply done is botched the job on every level and you should be glad to come out of with a profit , let alone somehow earn an oscar nomination .

also , there ' s a major art shift between the 80s specials ( which were much more faithful to norman bridwell ' s illustrations ) and the 2000s tv series .

a limited release , this movie opened in seventy theaters on february 20 . the release was expanded on april 23 , 2004 , but it was still rather limited .

the story takes clifford and his regular - size canine pals , cleo and t - bone , away from the rustic calm of birdwell island , a pleasant , bone - shaped , martha ' s vineyard - like spot , on a journey across various unimaginatively animated american landscapes . because of a misunderstanding on clifford ' s part - - he thinks his huge appetite threatens his owners ' financial well - being - - the three dogs join a traveling carnival . their goal is to enter a contest that will guarantee clifford a lifetime supply of his favorite doggy snacks .


in love we trust ( chinese : 左右 ; pinyin : zuǒ yòu ; literally : " left , right " " ) is a 2008 chinese drama film directed by wang xiaoshuai .

it is alternatively named known by its literal english translation , left right .

originally set to premiere at the 2007 cannes film festival and then at the 64th venice international film festival the same year , the film eventually missed both , ultimately premiering at the 58th berlin international film festival in 2008 .

the film was picked up for international distribution by the paris-based company films distribution .

in love we trust

in love we trust <EOT> " in love we trust " ft . casey veggies by jhené aiko | free listening on soundcloud

. like creatures , in love we trust is upbeat and positive , whereas medusa was more sober in pace and quality .

the plot of " in love we trust " may have been too simple , but the film ' s strength rested on its characters .

out now is the vinyl release for clan of xymox ’ “in love we trust” album ( available here for purchase ) . musically you can expect “in love we trust” to combine the early melancholic 4ad sound of the band with the synthesizer sounds of the 90s and classic darkwave .

, although breaking point was good too . in love we trust is just a deeper , more emotional album , and easier to access .

instead of praying that fear will leave us alone , we can pray that when we are afraid we will trust and have confidence in god ( psalm 56 : 3 ) .

we may not understand why , or we may understand years down the line , but that’s faith…believing in the unseen despite what we see in the natural .

love and trust , vague as they are , may be the only things that warm us , as we shed sacrifices along the way .

in fact the hard evidence that britain has fallen out of love with experts is thin on the ground . there is no shortage of data pointing to falling levels of trust in institutions - the latest edelman trust barometer , an annual survey of trust across 28 countries , found the steepest drop in trust of government , business , media and ngos in its 17 year history .

likewise , " in love we trust " never discussed china ' s one - child policy and focused on middle - class family struggles . still , the film managed to tread lightly on abortion .

but we should not be fatalistic . we should pray for deliverance , because sometimes that is god’s will .

1 john 4 : 18 , " there is no fear in love . but perfect love drives out fear , because fear has to do with punishment . the one who fears is not made perfect in love . " ( niv )

but there is something we must do to receive this promise . we must cast our burden on the lord .

that’s when we are assured that we are of the lord . and that’s when the burdens will start to lift .

i love this beat . i love tropical sounding beats . i always think of muppets vacation . kokomo . “that’s where we wanna go . ” i always get excited when i hear tropical beats .

love - l stands for “love , ” o stands for “olive , ” v stands for “vitamins , ” and e stands for “egg . ”

love – l stands for “love , ” o stands for “olive , ” v stands for “vitamins , ” and e stands for “egg . ”

manila , philippines - drop the initial raunchy misconception . " in love we trust " is not a steamy love affair on fiery silk sheets , but a domestic drama with a plot so simple and downright straight to the point that it ' s hard to write a review without giving away the meatiest part of the story .

side - line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time , money and hard work to produce . but we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive .

the screenplay was also good : i made it a point to wait for memorable lines from the film ' s characters . but beyond all those , i found the plot of " in love we trust " so simple to the point that it becomes too predictable .

… we have a small favour to ask . more people are reading side - line magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast . and unlike many news organisations , we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can . so you can see why we need to ask for your help .

having said this , expect " in love we trust " to veer away from the lucrative and aesthetically flashy productions that catapulted chinese cinema to an international audience . it ' s not swashbuckling action on green terrains and bamboo groves . and there ' s no gong li .

third , trust that if he allows this painful event to happen , it’s to bring you more joy in him .

" in love we trust " is the latest creation of director wang xiaoshuai of " beijing bicycle " fame , a movie with somewhat similar themes to vittorio de sica ' s legendary film " the bicycle thief . " it received the silver bear award for best screenplay from the berlin film festival in 2008 .

ridley concedes that we can ' t all wade through the scientific literature : " we have to rely on other people to do that for us . "

i agree , grace . in love we trust is a horrible name for a film that works much better with its original title , left , right . plus , it makes it sound like a cheesy romantic comedy that i wouldn’t want to see in a million years , rather than…well , what sounds like a pretty good movie .

it simply means taking the steps i outlined above , and then working and making plans with trust in jesus and his promises .

dear god , help me not be paralyzed by my fears , but when i am afraid , help me trust in you . in jesus ' name , amen .

the major emotional conflicts at the heart of “in love we trust” only occasionally break the surface in this well - played but monotonal eighth feature by mainland chinese helmer wang xiaoshuai ( “beijing bicycle , ” “shanghai dreams” ) . drama about two couples , whose lives are thrown together when the offspring of an earlier marriage develops leukemia , almost works thanks [ … ]

podcast biblical truth for any girl in any season . because we all need to know the truth and live the truth .

grace : i’m actually fine with that one . “in the mood for love” is as best an english name for it as could be .

first , i bought this album based on the urltoken samples . one day i was debating purchasing a few select xymox mp3s and decided to try out this album . i ended up liking all the samples and figured i ' d just buy the entire package . i debate if i like in love we trust more than their 1999 release

a hard - working young man meets and falls in love with his sister ' s bridesmaid . he soon finds out how disturbed she really is .

in truth , it seems there is not so much a crisis of trust in experts , as a profound scepticism about their - or anyone else ' s - ability to predict the future .

we often talk about casting our burdens on the lord . but what does that really mean ?

i trust in the lord . i know that he will always do good for me and i know that he will help me when i need him . i know that i am struggling so that i may be closer to god and that he wants me to be closer to him . i trust in him .

casting our burdens upon the lord means to start telling the truth . we live a life of lying cheating and stealing , and then cover it up with more lies until we don’t know who we are anymore . the guilt in our soul creates anxiety and depression , along with all the false guilt projected upon us by others that we don’t recognize or speak up about , yet another lie , passively . until we start telling the truth about our past and present , truth being the life and the way , we will always be anxious about our future . the sad state of christianity today is that we are so caught up in the person of jesus and pushing him on others , that we don’t even do what he says . if we believe in jesus christ we believe in telling the truth . it is truth that protects us from the evil one . and anyone in any religion can do it . when jesus said that no one comes to the father but by him , he meant no one gets to heaven on earth , or after we die , without starting to tell the truth . once anyone anywhere on the earth starts being honest they are immediately of the lord , whether they consciously believe in him or not . so cast your burden upon the lord today . start telling the truth . this is the way .

i’m definitely a huge fan of travis . i think he merges that super - fine line between melody and syncopation and pocket . and i love his pockets , and i love his note choice . he’s just gnarly . he’s perfect .

fourth , trust that if he allows this painful event to happen , he will take care of every need it creates .

are you trusting christ ? and if not , i want to do whatever i can to urge you to trust him .

god doesn ' t promise to always take away all our fears . yet he gives us the power , love and self - discipline necessary to embrace his life - changing truth . when we pray his living and active word something amazing happens - god strengthens our hearts . he helps us trust him , girds us with his amazing peace and enables us to move forward in courage .

these are four extraordinary performances , delicate in their construction , honest in their execution .

the verdict : they say " in love we trust " can take place anywhere , but i doubt if another director can pull it off as simple , as linear , as easy to understand , and as reflective of modern china as xiaoshuai’s . it’s good to watch once , though . otherwise , it’ll be a little too dragging especially for those who stereotyped chinese films with zhang ziyi’s graceful acrobatic stunts .

love this film . love how the main concept of this film feels plausible ; a stranger than fiction type of story . yes , i know that it ' s not the purpose but love thinking about which side of the coin i ' ll be . the actors are stellar ; able to convey the ludicrous notion from the bereaved mother and its conclusion with subtlety and weight .

“love galore” was first teased on november 28 , 2016 , on sza’s instagram . the entire song was also performed at her private show in new york on january 10th .

and during the referendum campaign , a poll by ipsos mori found that academics came in just behind friends and family when people were asked whose views they would trust about brexit .

the film begins with a view from within a moving car ( which for a moment , reminded me of a similar wordless scene in “cache” ) . it moves silently down the streets . a voice calls out briefly : left . and then : right . we realize they are directions , yet we have no idea where they are going . in the end of the film , the same scene is repeated , and this time the context is clear : we know who are in the car , and we know where they are going . but…do they ? and in the same vein…do we really ? left or right , it only takes us down another street . the path is continous , and the destination is still unknown .

vira , we are all weak . but we grow in strength . i’ve done those same prayed enough / trusted enough routines . and yup , things got harder . but those things that knocked me down last year don’t now . every trial has shown me that it won’t kill me…or that i’m just getting too tired to care or cry anymore , so i’m learning those things i thought would devestate me weren’t important enough to cause me to react anymore . the trials help to work things out of…and into…us . and they show us when we’re not as strong as we were starting to think we were .

we know what burdens feel like . they make our hearts feel heavy — like something is weighing them down .

god is more interested in changing us inside than in meeting all of our prayer requests .

pray over these promises until the holy spirit strengthens your faith . pray until you trust that god will take care of your every need .

thanks for your most rewarding article on burden castning . please how do one trust god over dwindling finances , mounting responsibilities , bills and debt ?

era ) . the upbeat track " in love we trust " is similar to other xymox ' s own material . finally , " love got lost " has an 80s new wave sound ( keys heavy , think gary numan or thomas dolby ) that i would use as a gateway to clan of xymox and darkwave in general for people new to the genre . " love got lost " is energetic , fun , and will appeal to fans of the newer future pop genre ( think vnv nation ) . though it did not make my list of recommended tracks , the closing track " on a mission " is another strong example of future pop ' s influence on the clan . it too sounds more like vnv , assemblage 23 , angels and agony or a host of other future pop bands .

this is our “one short day in the emerald city . ” it’s a love letter to new york and it lets us know who the schuyler sisters are outside the context of hamilton and his future affections .

so what causes this ? i think it’s usually because we see something painful in our future . and that fear of future pain is a weight — a burden — on our hearts .

instead , the film is known as in love we trust ( 2008 ) , and tells a story of love , trust , sacrifice , and the gives and takes between the three . directed by wang xiaoshuai , the film premiered at the 2008 berlin international film festival and went on to win the silver bear for best screenplay . this surprised me because the writing , though competent , is not the particular highlight of the film for me . the story is a simple one . we meet an ordinary family living in beijing , china : mother , father , single child . the mother is mei zhu ( weiwei liu ) , a gentle woman with a polite demeanor who works for a realtor company . the father is only introduced as lao xie , or “old xie” , a kind of easy nickname reserved for those with kind eyes who always seem more like uncles rather than neighbours , played by taisheng chen . the daughter is hehe ( pronounced “herher” ) , an adorable 5 year old played by chuqian zhang .

a divorced couple learns that the only way to save their little daughter hehe , who suffers from a blood disease , is to have another child . now both remarried , mei zhu and xiao lu are forced to test their love and their commitment to one another by putting their current relationships in danger . a story of parenthood , love , married life , betrayal , trust and giving , which touches upon changes in contemporary society and family life , as well as the moral and ethical dilemmas brought on by modernity . official selection of the cannes film festival . purchase the dvd at urltoken

instead of asking god to make all fear in our lives vanish , we can pray that his peace which surpasses all understanding will guard our hearts and minds in christ jesus and supersede all fear ( see philippians 4 : 6 - 7 ) .

i was reminded recently not to take back what we’ve given to the lord . that’s what i do when it seems like god isn’t doing anything…at least in my human eyes . but his promises are true and the devil is a liar . “though he slay me , yet will i trust him . ” thanks for the reminders about how to make sure those burdens stay right where they belong… . in god’s hands !

whenever we are burdened , god promises to sustain us and not let us be moved ( which means to be shaken or totter ) .

the major emotional conflicts at the heart of “in love we trust” only occasionally break the surface in this well - played but monotonal eighth feature by mainland chinese helmer wang xiaoshuai ( “beijing bicycle , ” “shanghai dreams” ) . drama about two couples , whose lives are thrown together when the offspring of an earlier marriage develops leukemia , almost works thanks to a convinced performance by lead actress liu weiwei as the mother . but pic’s dogged rhythm and flawed script , combined with an over - long running time , work against the movie , which looks to have only modest chances as a specialist release .

many economists now admit they got the short term impacts of a brexit vote wrong . essentially they misjudged how consumers would behave amid the uncertainty created by a vote to leave : they thought we ' d tighten our belts and save ; instead we went on a borrowing and spending binge .

the first time we see hehe she lies in bed , a ravenous cloud of hair splashed across the pillow , and we learn she has a fever . mei zhu and lao xie huddle over her and talk in quiet , short sentences between each other while trying to mask their panic . the fever has been going on for a while , and they are not sure whether they should go to the hospital . it is a low - key scene and not much is said , but the weight of illness looms heavy on the horizon , and are soon realized at the hospital . we see a long shot down a long corridor , where at its end a doctor in white coat speaks with mei zhu shortly , and then leaves . she reacts as a mother would . we never hear a word , nor do we see the expression on their faces , and she takes no more than a few steps , but it is more effective than many other hospital news - breaking scenes that provide all of the above . our imagination paints more than we need to know . everything lies in the unsaid .

im picking this post to ask a couple questions on , though it might not totally be for this tooic - my struggle involves * continuing * to trust god , and what to do next .

i’ve been under such a strain of burden over very huge and frightening circumstances since i was saved nearly 4 years ago . i pray and pray to release them and try and try to trust . it is having the trouble with trusting that is causing the issues . i keep asking god to help me to trust him and it seems the more i ask , the worse things get . so then what ?

but at other times he does not deliver us from the pain . but even then it’s all about his love , as trials can give us the joy of even deeper and closer fellowship with him .

this is when the burden will start to lift — when we see and feel the worth of god , and that all future pain will bring us even more of god .

i was really depressed before reading this article… now i’m confident that god never leaves us in all our problems . . i knew , becauuse from heavy heart , now i am relaxed… i know god already helped me relax from these problems…thank you god i love you so much .

in the last days before the referendum , newsnight ' s policy editor chris cook interviewed a retired woman called joan in a bognor regis cafe .

script takes some 40 minutes to clear its throat before popping the big dramatic question , building the audience’s trust in the characters and preparing it for the major leap of faith . those 40 minutes , however , are very restrained , with the protags going about their everyday business and family affairs in a glum , wintry beijing that , though nicely composed in widescreen , doesn’t build a warm or caring enough environment to make the plot jump believable .

instead of praying that fear will be far from us , we can ask god to give us strong , bold and courageous hearts ( joshua 1 : 9 ) when fear comes near .

instead of asking god to take away all fear , we can ask for his grace to run toward the big , scary things with great courage ( 1 samuel 17 : 48 ) .

casting our burdens upon the lord means battling to see that the lord himself is our treasure — and that he will take care of everything else we need to experience him as our treasure .

while i commend you on your encouragement to leave our burdens with the lord , allow me please to take issue with you about the sentence you use : “third , trust that if he allows this painful event to happen , it’s to bring you more joy in him . ” that cannot be true . not relieving us of pain cannot be to bring us more joy in him . we may well come to know jesus in a deeper way through the experiences through which we pass but that is not the aim of not relieving our pain ! perhaps your sentence conveys something you did not intend but as it stands there is a kind of fatalism suggested about life . you put god in a win / win situation by aligning him with the non relief of the pain . a god who uses pain for his own ends is not a loving god . he suffers with us . he does not use it to make us grateful for eventual joy .

just keep holding to the measure of faith you’ve been given and as you continue you will be conformed to the image of christ , who had more faith than we could even hope to attain .

what particularly stood out for me here is the use of symbols . the color red highlights a breathtaking climax towards the end of the film . two different shades of red also dress the two women in xiao lu’s life in the scene immediately after : one a brighter shade , one a darker shade . one current , one past . then there is the apartment that would never sell , that despite proper furnitures , somehow never fits the lives that pass through its doors . then there are the cellphones , which though gimmicky in establishing one of the plotlines , seems to cry out an important point : sometimes we call our loved ones , and though we have the correct number , the call is never answered . sometimes , we never meant to initiate the calls , and they are answered . fate is fickle . so are its people .

thank you for this . . after reading i realize that god is everywhere and ready to listen upon all my burdens in my heart . . i wasnt able to talk to him or sometimes pray to him because i been so ashamed of myself ive been a sinful one and that makes me feel that i cant even ask directly on him but beacuse of your blog this gives back my faith and trust on him . you were right and god has really put me in this kind of situation where to test me . i should put all my trust on him and keep on praying . i should always be grateful that god provides in everyway . whatever may happen to me on the future i should be open for it and keep in my mind that god made this to happen , for me to become a stronger one !

hehe has leukemia , and the story continues as it must . we meet xiao lu ( jiayi chang ) , the biological father of hehe . he and mei zhu have been divorced for four years , and the worse news possible forces a meeting between them . they are on polite terms , but we sense that the reunion is not something that either wishes for under any circumstances . history would have been best left unfaced .

love . trust . sacrifice . what is the correct way to juggle all three ? what gives , and what takes ? mei zhu loves hehe the way a mother loves her daughter – fiercely , regretlessly , endlessly . lao xie loves hehe the way a father loves his daughter – selflessly , wholeheartedly . mei zhu and lao xie love each other – quietly , deeply . none of these are exaggerated or even emphasized directly . there are only two scenes where mei zhu hugs hehe , but both times she does it with such intensity that it is enough . sometimes , the quietest cry is the strongest of all . weiwei liu deserved her win as best actress at the 2008 pula film festival . taisheng chen should have been nominated for his equally valuable portrayl .

a different china in the film , xiaohuai showed beijing as a city like all the other cities in the world - - a point of view which i found very refreshing .

and who are those other people ? " people who ' ve done more work in looking into the evidence . " in other words , people who sound quite a lot like experts .

and thank you so much for praying for the retreat . god worked in all of our hearts in powerful ways , and i am sure your prayers had lots to do with that .

so… what now ? why isnt the burden gone , or leaving even ? and how long do we trust god , that he really is working for our good in the background of our plights , even though our reality suggests otherwise ? he could come around at the 11th hour , a week before we die of old age , and take our burdens and fill our heart with joy - “ha , see ? i told you i wouldn’t leave you . told you i’d take care of you if you cast it all on me . ” great , so i got a week of crossword puzzles and naps at age 90 , but hey , god fulfilled his promise . he came back and restored us . hmm… . . i dont like my skepticism , or silence from the lord , especially when i don’t know what else to do .

" one has to remember that the enlightenment did consist of challenging the experts , particularly challenging priests and saying you don ' t have all the answers , people can work out the answers for themselves . there ' s no reason we can ' t use rationalism to arrive at solutions to problems , and to the extent that we ' re challenging a priesthood today and saying , ' no hang on you might be wrong . ' that ' s healthy . "

movie’s middle is largely devoted to making mei zhu’s decision — as well as xiao lu’s complicity — seem emotionally convincing , before further developments lead to an even more extreme proposal by mei zhu . liu , largely known for her tv dramas , is extremely good in the lead role , but doesn’t quite catch the obsessional love for her daughter necessary to make the story work .

so encouraging to hear how god is working in your heart — thanks for letting me know .

so take time to set your heart on god . use his word to help you see his love , majesty , glory , and grace . use passages like gen 1 : 1 ; isa 6 : 1 - 7 ; mark 15 : 39 ; rom 5 : 1 - 10 .

thanks again ! i admire and appreciate your efforts to help others in their walk . god bless .

i agree that god suffers with us in our pain ( lam 3 : 32 - 33 ) .

it means trusting that he is all you need to be fully satisfied , and that he will do with your health whatever will bring you the most satisfaction , not necessarily in health , but in him .

he will forgive you , change you , guide you , strengthen you , and satisfy you in himself .

grace : you know that saying , the saddest thing is when they are pretending to be happy . maybe that’s not an actual saying , but i always found that to be true , in life and in film .

but sometimes it’s not — because god is going to give us even more joy in him through the trial .

i recently came across your blog when i searched “god’s promises . ” i’m going through a horrible marriage crisis , with really no “good” outcome likely . even if it is restored , the circumstances around it will leave the rest of our lives changed in a way i don’t know how to handle . i’ve been trying to focus on god’s promises this week and have found many great and encouraging posts on your blog . this one , in particular , is amazing . i often do try to cast my cares on the lord and this helps me understand how that looks and why the burden is lifted when we do this . i also love that you encourage us to pray that he keep the painful event from happening . i know that this doesn’t mean it won’t happen , but its okay to ask and want that ! thank you !

founded in the netherlands 1983 , the band is considered something of a staple in the gothic / darkwave music community . the band has since moved to leipzig , germany ( home of the annual international wave gotik treffen darkwave festival ) and has done a remarkable job staying on top of the darkwave sound . while xymox ' s sound has evolved since the 1980s , they are still true enough to their roots that many fans of their older material love or enjoy their new releases as well . though there have been some changes in the bands line - up since the 1980s , front - man , vocalist , and guitarist ronny moorings has remained with the band through its history .

as one senior economist put it to me : " gove is right that economics is a profession in crisis but it has nothing to do with brexit predictions . the real crisis is our failure to explain the collapse in productivity . "

fear influenced many of my decisions . fear amplified my imagination in a bad way - i was the worst - case scenario queen . fear even tried to prevent me from moving forward in obedience to what i sensed god calling me to do .

thank you char for the inspiring words of your experiences and advice . i know with a weak person like me , it will take time , but no matter how strong the temptation of giving up on my faith will become . i’m gonna try to hold on to him . to be honest i am having a hard putting things in the right places after i thought i have prayed enough and trust him enough but i still get a bad / opposite answers . praying for help but i got a heavier burden instead . then i realized i guess its all on me , my faith in him is not enough .

i ' ve always had a bias for character - driven films , and i honestly liked the way each character progressed in this movie .

you can be saved by turning from everything else and trusting jesus christ — trusting all that god promises to be to you in him .

what we’re left with is an extended wordplay throughout the song between the conventional “work” and its modern cousin , to the point where it becomes impossible to parse which word is being used at any particular moment . this serves to conflate the two words / ideas—mixing exercising the mind with showing off , blending historical and modern ideas of fierceness—for the audience .

girl in the bunker : based on a true story ( 2018 ) henry thomas ( e . t . ) moira kelly ( cutting edge )

michael gove now claims that he was really talking about economists when he made his infamous comment in an interview with sky ' s faisal islam .

now maybe what you mean by “being honest” is being honest about their sin and about their need for jesus and turning to him in faith .

i took my time getting to this point , because the film takes its time too . some reviews have lamented about the slow pace of the film , and i do agree to a certain extent — that the last third of the film could have been more emotionally sharpened and tightly edited . however , what i enjoyed about this film , and what i believe makes it work , is the patience it took to build up to the central dilemma of its characters . it is all the more important because we know that it is coming . we see it looming . and every second that ticks by winds our anxiety and adds to the sense of urgency , and makes the weight of that decision so much more torturous .

a seventeen - year - old country boy working in beijing as a courier has his bicycle stolen , and finds it with a schoolboy his age .

just like the story , other aspects of the film were quite simple : the settings were plain , and the background music came in very rarely .

women dominated the film : mei zhu and dong fan are both stubborn and strong - willed , while their respective husbands gave in to their demands .

praying this way changes us . it has changed me . i no longer make decisions based on fear . i recognize worst - case scenarios forming and instead of entertaining them i nip them in the bud . and i am moving forward in obedience to the things god has called me to do .

what an encouraging post to read , ron ! i praise god for his work in your life , and for using this post to encourage you .

i think i really should see this movie . one of the queen videos in toronto likely carries it , eh ? or maybe all of them .

i see that taught in psalm 119 : 71 , 75 ; 2 cor 4 : 16 - 18 ; and 2 cor 12 : 9 - 10 .

. if you ' re battling fear on any level or in any area of your life , i ' d like to invite you to do the same .

but i do not agree that “once anyone on earth starts being honest they are immediately of the lord , whether they consciously believe in him or not . ”

sometimes he does this as a way to give us more joy in seeing his glory displayed as he delivers us from pain ( john 9 : 1ff ) .

and in the months since , the expert bashers have been able to claim a measure of vindication : few of the dire consequences predicted by most economists have materialised .

what do you do when you question your salvation and then trying to figure out what faith is how to have it and trusting . i’ve been having this for a year now i was on fire for god and one day it all hit me where i become obsessed with knowing if jesus came in my life and constantly in anxiety over it .

i’m going through the hardest struggle in my life right now . i’m trying to let jesus shoulder my burdens but i still have constant worries picking at me . how do i truly give my burdens up to the lord ? i’m trying to but my anxieties are still with me and my heart is heavy . how do i find joy in god ?

then , bad turns to worse . hehe desperately needs a bone marrow transplant and both parents are no match . the best hope , the doctor advises mei zhu , lies in finding a match in a blood sibling of hehe , and from that arises the drastic measure that forms the emotional heart of the story : having another baby to save her current one .

in order to save he he , the mother decides to have another child with her ex - husband , which creates an emotional strain on both families . mei tries as hard as she can to persuade the other adults . when she finally gains their approval to have in - vitro fertilization , a medical test indicates the father ' s sperm count is too low .

write the verse above that most resounds with you and keep it nearby . this week , every time you sense fear building in your heart , determine to pray god ' s word .

grace : i agree . i have nothing against translations if it’s done true to the spirit of the film . it’s when that is overlooked in favor of marketing ploys that annoys me .

one of the clan ' s best in my opionion . the lyrics draw forward many images and feelings . the wall of sound that is the music pulls you in with it ' s mood setting keys , driving bass lines and eligantily placed guitar progressions . it ' s not one of those " i only like two songs " albums . the whole thing is great .

my beatport lets you follow your favorite djs and labels so you can find out when they release new tracks . log in or create an account today so you never miss a new release .

eventually i realized those prayers would probably require me to live in a bubble , limit my interactions with people , never attempt anything that could be considered risky and quite possibly never leave my house .

it always boggles my mind how the translation of film titles are handled in asian cinema . perhaps as a native speaker , i find certain attempts to simplify or “westernize” a perfectly fine , poignant chinese title into english abhorrent . perhaps , certain meanings that lie inherent in the chinese characters simply can not be translated without losing lustre . here is such a case where the original title : 左右 , which literally translates to “ left , right , ” is perfectly symbolic of the film , and should have been , in my opinion , preserved ( precedent : ang lee’s “lust , caution” ) .

i think what affected me most deeply was the character of lao xie . i find something heroic and almost inspiring in the way that he responds to this situation . taisheng chen’s performance was exceptional .

in what felt like one of the most revealing exchanges of the campaign , chris listed bank of england governor mark carney ' s seemingly ample qualifications to make predictions about how brexit would affect the economy .

those powerful hugs remind me of an old phrase my marketing professor gave us : when you emphasize everything , you emphasize nothing . for another example of this , see late spring . setsuko hara smiles constantly in that film , even in situations where the only sane response is grief or anger . when she finally frowns , it seems as though the whole house is pulled down around her . it’s devastating .

chinese director wang xiaoshuai crafts his pensive study of life in modern china concerning a couple who are confronted with love , responsibility , morality , and loyalty after their relationship fails and their young daughter falls ill . years ago , mei zhu and xiao lu were a happily married couple with a beautiful daughter named hehe . but the marriage ultimately failed , and the pair ultimately parted ways . years later , mei zhu and xiao lu have both remarried , and hehe is the only link that still bonds them together . when hehe is diagnosed with leukemia , the doctors relay that the only hope for the ailing girl is a bone marrow transplant from a healthy sibling . realizing that hehe has no siblings , her desperate mother and father are suddenly faced with a life altering decision . ~ jason buchanan , rovi
