WATCH TRAILER: * National Treasure II: The Book of Secrets

RECOMMENDATION:
WATCH MOVIE:

PLOT SYNOPSIS:
'National Treasure 2: The Book of Secrets' is about the Gates family  trying to prove the innocence of one of their ancestors accused of being involved in the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. To do that the Gates family with the help of their friends goes in search of the City of Gold. The plot revolves around the adventure that occurs in their quest to find the City of Gold and prove their ancestor innocent.

 CONTENT REVIEW:
'National Treasure 2: The Book of Secrets' is a humorous Disney adventure that can definitely be watched over again. The plot is way better than National Treasure I. It addresses issues dealing with love, truth, perseverance, faith, innocence, guilt, murder, death, treasure, reconciliation, and sacrifice.

What I liked about the movie: (SPOILER ALERT)

1. I liked the way the Gates family persevered to prove the innocence of their ancestor.

2. I liked the sacrifice that was made towards the end of the movie.

3. I liked the bonding time of family working together.

4. I liked the reconciliation scenes in the movie.

 Bible verses on some issues portrayed in the movie:

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. (1 Corinthians 13:4-8, NIV)

"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." (Matthew 6:19-20, NIV)

"Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." (John 8:12, NIV)

"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation." (2 Corinthians 5:17-19, NIV)

QUESTIONS TO PONDER: (SPOILER ALERT)

1. What did you most like about watching 'National Treasure 2: The Book of Secrets?'

2. What are scenes in the movie that show the LOVE of one person towards another and how do you show love for someone in your life?

3. What would you do to prove the innocence of someone if what you believed to be the TRUTH was shown to be a lie?

4. What are examples of PERSEVERANCE in the movie and what have you done to show perseverance in your life?

5. How can you be sure of your innocence in life according to God's standards?

6. How far would you go to find a treasure and would it be worth it, why or why not?

7. How do you feel to know that an enemy of the Gates family SACRIFICED his life to save them and what does that have to do with us and Jesus Christ?
